Over 75 unique and original lots will be going under the hammer next month, in support of The British Horse Society’s latest campaign to help ’Draw the Line’ on indiscriminate breeding of equines.
The campaign will encourage horse owners to ’think before you breed’ and through increased education, awareness and castration programmes ensure fewer poor quality foals are created and subjected to an uncertain, and often unpleasant future.
To fund this work, artists and celebrities have been donating items and one-off experiences for auction on 13 October 2010 at Cheffins of Cambridge.
Malcolm Coward, John Trickett, Nikki Moore and Debbie Gillingham are just some of the well known talents to have contributed with original Equestrian and Canine artwork, which are outstanding in quality and beauty.
In addition to this there have been celebrity sketches and signed memorabilia donated by the likes of Noel Edmunds, Jilly Cooper and Katherine Jenkins; with Martin Clunes also adding his name to the cause and providing a one off walk-on role in the popular TV series, Doc Martin. A lesson with David Broome and visits to Carl Hester’s and Tim Stockdale’s yards has also been donated; the auction is sure to be a great success, offering something for everyone.
Eventing star Mary King has said: "In the UK we end up producing too many unsuitable horses and ponies which face an uncertain future".
"That’s why I support The British Horse Society’s campaign and want to urge people to think before you breed".
