In Horses for Causes, teams race against the clock to construct flat-pack rocking horses, then compete in hilarious high-stakes races. With lanes cleared and odds set, teams place bets and cheer on their steeds, building excitement and camaraderie. The activity culminates in a charity auction of each unique rocking horse.
