Our Mission

Founded by Joanne Asman, Fiesta of The Spanish Horse began its mission in the fight against cancer in 1998.

A non-profit, public benefit corporation that is not organized for the private gain of any person, Fiesta of the Spanish Horse is organized under the Non-profit Public Benefit Corporation Law for charitable purposes. The specific purpose of this corporation is to help find a cure for cancer and to assist in improving the quality of life for cancer patients and their families.

Fiesta is run with the help of volunteers. Our annual event is made possible with the support of the equestrian and business communities, the general public and other volunteer efforts. It strives to raise much-needed funds and awareness to find a cure for cancer through research and treatment.

Fiesta not only raises much needed funds for an exceptional cause, it plays an important role in integrating communities by honoring horses and people steeped in rich tradition.

For 20 years, Fiesta of the Spanish Horse has produced a family-oriented equestrian and musical extravaganza that donates directly to cancer awareness and research organizations. Our objective has long been to support these very worthy causes, while presenting an entertaining and educational spectacular that celebrates the heritage of Spanish Horses and their role in California’s rich history.

In addition to the extravaganza, Fiesta of the Spanish Horse has presented a multi-breed horse show, featuring hundreds of horses over a four-day period. Fiesta rapidly became a celebrated annual tradition, attracting more than 4,000 people and hundreds of horses during the weekend.

Since its inception, Fiesta has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for numerous cancer awareness and research organizations.

Fiesta of the Spanish Horse is a 501(c)3 organization # 42-1620270
