Whether you’re an eventing enthusiast, a collector of equestrian art, or simply want to support a worthy cause, this is a truly unique opportunity to own a piece of eventing history. The British Eventing Support Trust has launched a special raffle to give one lucky supporter the chance to win a one-of-a-kind sculpture created from the horseshoes of five-star and championship horses!
Over the past six months, horseshoes from some of the sport’s best-known 5* and championship horses — including London 52, Murphy Himself, Colorado Blue, Lordships Graffalo, and JL Dublin, to name a few — have been carefully collected and transformed by farrier Oliver Mitchell into a striking sculpture standing 3’6″ tall. It is a celebration of the horses that have inspired so many of us, while helping support those at the heart of our sport.
Raffle tickets are £25 each, with every ticket sold helping the Trust continue providing practical, emotional, and financial support to British Eventing competing members following injury, accidents, and mental health challenges.
The winning ticket will be drawn by the British Eventing Support Trust President, HRH The Princess Royal, at Burghley Horse Trials on Sunday the 6th of September.
