Proceeds from Vermont Dressage Days benefit two Vermont charities, and we are proud to help these outstanding organizations fulfill their missions:
Women Helping Battered Women:
Formed in 1974, WHBW has evolved into the largest service provider for battered
women in Vermont. We believe that all women and children have the right to live
without fear of battering - sexual, physical, emotional, or financial.
Our vision is an end of physical, sexual, emotional and economic abuse and to promote
cultural systems that foster justice, equity and safety.
Our mission is to support, identify options and advocate for those who have experienced
domestic violence and serve as a catalyst for social change.

- 24 Hour Hotline - 1-800-ABUSE95
- Shelter and Housing Services
- Economic Justice and Transitional Housing
- Children's Program
- Legal Advocacy Program
- Education and Outreach Program

The Vermont Humane Federation:
The Vermont Humane Federation (VHF) was formed in 1990 by the merger of two
humane organizations, the Vermont Humane Society, founded in the late 1800’s and the
Vermont Federation of Humane Societies, which began in 1977.
The Vermont Humane Federation is a strong, unified network of organizations and
individuals dedicated to promoting the welfare of all animals. Members meet regularly in
an effort to network and discuss ideas.
The VHF continues to play an active role in promoting legislative improvement in
Montpelier. The VHF supports education initiatives and works collaboratively on issues
involving animal cruelty and neglect, disaster planning and ongoing issues pertaining to
animal welfare, and has launched a toll-free Animal Welfare Line: 877-9-HUMANE
(877-948-6263).
