Dress Code:
Heart of the Horse is a Barn Party, so there is no need to dress up fancy. Most people dress casually and comfortably in a western style. Think jeans, boots, and cowboy hats! Summer dresses are nice too! Just dress comfortably and you’re sure to have a good time. The covered arena that Heart of the Horse takes place in stays surprisingly comfortable, temperature-wise, so even if Saturday turns out to be a scorcher (which it shouldn’t, temperatures in the mid 70s are predicted) the arena will be shaded and cooler than outside.
A Very Important Note about Footwear: This Barn Party takes place in a barn, so you’ll be walking on loose, sandy footing in our outdoor arena. We strongly advise our guests NOT to wear open-toed shoes or high heels. You’ll be much more comfortable in boots or sneakers that you don’t mind getting a little dusty.
Payment Information
To make checkout quick and easy, all guests will be asked to have a credit card on file in our auction software at the start of the evening..
At the end of the night, you may pay for your purchases with the credit card on file, or you may pay by cash or check instead.
If you plan to pay through your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) by having a check mailed after the event, simply let us know when you check in. We’ll make a note on your account so your credit card won’t be charged.
