shows  Country music star Aaron Tippin will perform at the Abaco Beach Resort in March Harbour, Bahamas on February 4, 2006 to aid The Abaco Barb Foundation which raises awareness and funds for the only nine remaining horses of that breed.
Raised around horses his entire childhood, Aaron jumped at the opportunity especially after he learned the story behind the concert. ‘The Abaco Barb is a breed of beautiful horses that have quickly disappeared due to human impact in the Bahamas, and I thought this would be a great chance to see them in their natural habitat. What a historical moment!’

Drastic change has affected the once popular herd of Abaco Barbs, and the Government of the Bahamas has designated a new preserve area for the horses in their original habitat. For more information on the horses and how you can schedule a special trip to their home, please visit www.arkwild.org.

For more information on the benefit concert or The Abaco Barb Foundation, please contact the Abaco tourist office at 242-367-3067 or bernadette@coralwave.com. Discount accommodations for the concert are available through select hotels.
