Support Alice Clayton and her family in their time of need.

Anyone who has been in the central NJ horseshow world probably knows Alice Clayton and her wonderful mother, Dorothy. They have been a staple in this industry for decades, and this now includes Cecilia, Alice's 4-year-old daughter who has inherited their love of horses.

As many of you already know, Alice's mom passed away very suddenly last week leaving Alice reeling. Dorothy played an extremely active role in both her daughter and her granddaughter's lives and this understandably has been devastating for Alice. The last thing she needs to worry about are the subsequent financial burdens.

In addition, Dorothy's beloved dog Coco suffered from bloat several days ago, likely from the stress of losing the only owner he's known. He ended up at Garden State near death. They spent over $10,000 saving him, in part because he has become a major source of support for Cecilia as he's a strong reminder of her grandmother.

We're asking for people to pitch in what they can to help this amazing family during such a difficult and expensive time. We all know that Alice would do the same for us. The equine community is strong when it comes to helping our own and anything you can contribute will make a huge difference in lifting their burden.

Thank you.
