William Shatner On His Hollywood Charity Horse Show

Captain James T. Kirk, the beloved science fiction character from the iconic 1960’s TV show, Star Trek has endured the test of time and still captivates fans today around the world. In taking on the role, William Shatner continues “to boldly go where no man has gone before” in the Star Trek brand. After the TV show ended, Shatner reprised the role in the animated series and on the big scree.

During his 60 year career, Shatner has appeared on Broadway; starred in the hit TV series T.J. Hooker; hosted Rescue 911; won two Emmy Award’s and a Golden Globe for playing ‘Denny Crane’ on The Practice and Boston Legal; has penned several books; directed films, recorded albums and is an accomplished equestrian.

With his career still going strong, Shatner continues to make time for philanthropic endeavors including the Hollywood Charity Horse Show which will take place on June 1, 2019. He says he is honored to have the opportunity to raise money for children and veterans.

“Of-course we have had it for 30 years. It’s a small venue, we raise hundreds of thousands of dollars every year and every penny that comes in to the Hollywood Charity Horse Show goes to the charities. Most of our charities are riding therapeutic programs which help children with emotional, social, and physical ills. And those same ills seem to have affected our veterans so riding therapeutic programs work for veterans as well and that’s what our charity does."
