The event featured a myriad of family-focused activities including a USEF/FEI-sanctioned equestrian show, where riders competed for $125,000 in prize money.
The "Concert at The Classic" featured top musical performers from around the world, and a large-scale family festival atmosphere which included rides, sports experiences, hands-on art activities, musical, and dance entertainment.
The event served as the primary fundraiser for The Center for Family Safety and Healing,[2] which seeks to break the cycle of family violence and provide support to victims of domestic abuse.
By then, the event had hosted over 15,000 people annually, and raised over $32 million for victim's of domestic violence.
A spokesperson said the event retired because the World Equestrian Games were occurring at the same time, in September, which made it difficult to attract competitors.
