The Watering Hole Pool Party
The Watering Hole Pool Party started with an amazing group of Young Professionals…
In 2022 Ash Atkinson and Morgan Measey joined together to create a new fundraising initiative to help alleviate the suffering of working horses, donkeys and mules and the people who depend on them to survive in the most vulnerable communities worldwide.
As the talks began, the nominations were made for Brooke USA’s Young Professionals Committee. This group of entrepreneurs, marketers, riders and visionaries evolved the concept of a pool party into a one-day extravaganza. The beautiful pool at the National Polo Center in Wellington, Florida, set the scene for a remarkable day and was completed by the support of the surrounding community. More than 300 people attended the inaugural event, eating, drinking, dancing and bidding on the outstanding auction items curated by the team.
Brooke USA is truly grateful to the Young Professionals Committee for all of their hard work and determination to create the ideal day of fun and a party for a purpose that would leave people wanting more.

From enjoying the day to shopping one-of-a-kind vendors, the event was a success with more than $60,000 raised to construct a new water trough in Ethiopia. Brooke USA now looks ahead to Ponies & Pearls and Divertimentos & Dressage towards the end of the season.
Thank you to all of our sponsors and supporters for making the inaugural Watering Hole Pool Party a success!
