Ocala, FL – February 22, 2025 – The $200,000 Florida Coast Equipment Grand Prix CSI4* at the World Equestrian Center (WEC) Ocala was more than just a thrilling night of elite show jumping—it was also a win for children in need. Thanks to Equine 74’s “Clear the Jump” sponsorship, every clear effort over the JustWorld International jump turned into real-world impact, raising $2,600 to support the organization’s mission of breaking the cycle of poverty for children and their families.
“We are incredibly grateful to Equine 74 for partnering with us on ‘Clear the Jump’ at WEC Ocala,” said Lucy Barnes, JustWorld’s Development Lead. “Their generosity transformed each clear round into meaningful support for children in need, demonstrating the power of the equestrian community to make a real difference.”

Ireland’s Colm Quinn designed a challenging grand prix track for the penultimate day of WEC’s Winter Spectacular VIII, held February 18-23. With Equine 74 pledging $100 for every clear round over the JustWorld jump, 21 riders didn’t just compete for podium finishes—they competed for a cause. Nineteen riders cleared the JustWorld jump in the first round, and seven advanced to clear it in the jump-off, bringing the final donation total to $2,600.
“It’s a real honor for us to have sponsored the ‘Clear the Jump,’ ” said Tanja Dietz, co-owner of Equine 74. “For us, this is the most valuable sponsorship because [it allows us] to do more––to impact children in need, so that’s perfect.”
For Tanja and Christian Dietz, the journey with Equine 74 began in 2011 when their marketing and advertising firm, Dietz & Consorten, was hired to develop a sales strategy for EquiMin Plus, an equine supplement. Their success in branding and positioning the product led them to take over its distribution, transforming it into the globally recognized brand Equine 74—a name now synonymous with equine digestive health.

Building on that foundation, Equine 74 today offers two natural, science-backed products designed to support gut health in horses. Equine 74 Gastric, available in pellet and powder form, absorbs excess stomach acid like a sponge, providing long-term relief for horses prone to stress and ulcers. For immediate relief, Equine 74 Calm Relax is a fast-acting paste that buffers stomach acid and prevents discomfort for up to four hours. Both products are drug-free, doping-free, and safe for horses of all breeds and sizes, making them trusted choices for riders and trainers worldwide.
WEC Ocala generously hosted the fundraiser and a dedicated outreach table. Throughout the evening, riders, spectators, and supporters stopped by the table to learn more about JustWorld’s mission, explore its Ambassador program, and pick up merchandise.
The evening would not have been possible without the generous support of Johnson Horse Transportation, which shipped the jump to Ocala free of charge.
Among those inspired by JustWorld’s efforts was grand prix winner Brian Moggre, who piloted his longtime partner MTM Vivre Le Reve to victory. “JustWorld is a fantastic organization,” Moggre said. “I wasn’t able to go to the gala this year, but I went last year, and it was such a wonderful experience.”
Reflecting on the importance of giving back, Moggre added, “We’re so lucky to do what we do, and anything we can do to give back is super important. I always try to give back as much as I can, and I think it’s amazing to stand behind any organization that supports children.”

The evening also delivered a special moment for Bo Dietz, the young son of Tanja and Christian, who had the chance to meet and take a photo with Moggre. The gesture perfectly captured the event’s spirit of community.
With a global reach and headquarters in Wellington, Florida, JustWorld empowers equestrians to become change-makers by supporting partner projects in Honduras, Cambodia, Guatemala, and the United States. The funds raised at WEC Ocala will directly contribute to JustWorld’s education, healthcare, and nutrition programs, ensuring that children in underserved communities receive the resources they need to thrive.
Through partnerships like the one with Equine 74, JustWorld International continues to bridge the gap between sport and social change, proving that the equestrian community has the power to create lasting impact beyond the arena.
