THE STORY

In 2016, a bay filly was born. She was named Rideforthecause and like her name, she was destined to do great things. Each time she ran, Rideforthecause raised awareness and funds that will now change the lives of children in need around the world. 

Kevin Sanford, Mark Samuel, Kim Samuel, and Rick Balaz of Sam-Son Farm inspired the #RIDEFORTHECAUSE campaign with their generous decision to give back and desire to create change.

“I had the idea to take half of her career earnings and to give them to charity,” said Sam-Son CEO Mark Samuel. “[The Sam-Son team] enthusiastically supported the idea and that is exactly what has happened. At the end of her racing career/ownership with us we will take half of her lifetime earnings and split them 3 ways between three deserving charities! Paying it forward!”

Rideforthecause’s race winnings will help sustain and grow the JustWorld education and nutrition programs, empowering the lives of thousands of children around the world.

JUSTWORLD - HOW WE, AS EQUESTRIANS, CHANGE THE WORLD

The Rideforthecause legacy is an inspiration and unique example of how equestrians can contribute to a global campaign against poverty. Together, the Sam-Son Farm team has set the precedent for horse owners and equestrians around the world to make a difference in the lives of children in need through JustWorld.

Let’s #RIDEFORTHECAUSE together. 

Thank you Sam-Son Farm, for giving an amazing opportunity to our donors and the children at the JustWorld programs around the world!
