This is the fifth annual Painted Ponies Art Walk and Auction! It is a favorite artistic, cultural event in our area and has become a “Must See” for people throughout the region.

The live online auction takes place on Saturday, April 6th. This year, there are sixteen beautiful ponies. Join in and bid on your favorite ponies. The 2023 Painted Ponies Auction raised over $90,000 for the Carolina Horse Park Foundation. Registration is free for the online auction. Registering for the auction allows you to live stream the online auction. Auctioneer, Ben Farrell, will display photos and videos of each pony during the event.

This Auction is one of the top fundraisers for the Carolina Horse Park, which is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization. Funds raised through the Painted Ponies Auction help maintain the Park at the top level; keep riders and horses safe; and provide open space for equestrian and recreational activities. All events at the park are free and open to spectators. For more details, contact Shannon Habenicht, Director of Development and Communications at shannon@carolinahorsepark.com.
