LOPE's Benefit Horse Show on May 31 includes a Silent Auction. Many wonderful items have been donated, and we have opened the Silent Auction for online bidding until Friday, May 30, at midnight. Final bidding on the items must be done live on Saturday during the show in Seguin.

The auction items as of today include an annual membership to Retama Park's Turf and Field Club, two lovely equine art prints, two custom professional portrait drawings, two weeks at an summer horse camp, a night at the races at Retama, Sam Houston and Lone Star, a wine tasting package for 25 people and much more!

Several outstanding stallion seasons have been donated, for a Welsh pony stallion, a Friesian stallion, an imported BWP Warmblood stallion, two Quarter Horse stallions, an Arabian stallion and a Texas accredited Thoroughbred stallion.

There will be many other items for auction at the show as well.

About the 2008 LOPE Benefit Horse Show

Texas Horse Enthusiasts Forum Board members are sponsoring a benefit horse show for LOPE. It is a fun show for all levels of riders - a great event for families especially. There are many types of classes for English and Western riders of all levels. Last year over 100 horses participated in the show, and $5000 was raised in support of LOPE. This year promises to be even more exciting!
