Rogers Is Getting a Kentucky Derby Night With Mini Horses and a Cause Behind It

Spring in Rogers comes with one evening worth getting dressed up for. The 14th Annual Mini Derby returns this May with a night built around live entertainment, community, and a cause that funds equine-assisted services for children and individuals with disabilities. Lock in your spot and start planning your look.

THE DEETS

Everything Your Ticket Covers

Your ticket gets you into a full evening of food, music, and entertainment. That means derby-inspired cuisine by Cowboy Catering, an open bar featuring Mint Juleps and premium selections by Sazerac, live music by Funk Factory, the Kentucky Derby live on the big screen, mini horse races, a silent auction, time with the Equestrian Bridges therapy herd, and games and interactive activities throughout the evening.

A Night With a Purpose

The Mini Derby is the annual fundraiser for Equestrian Bridges, a nonprofit dedicated to equine-assisted therapy. The organization runs programs that use horses to support children and individuals with disabilities, and this event is how they fund that work.

If you can’t make it but still want to support the cause, you can head to equestrianbridges.org/donate to give your donations.
