The British Equestrian Federation is holding an online auction to help raise funds to send the British Team to the World Equestrian Games in 2010. A once in a lifetime opportunity to spend five days at Brookhouse Stud in Erbach, Germany with Emma Hindle is up for grabs.
Hindle is one of Britain’s top Dressage riders and was a member of the Silver medal winning British Team at the 2009 European Dressage Championships.
The fantastic lot, which is for two people, includes accommodation at the Stud, flights and transfers. The winner and their guest will be able to gain an all round insight into the Stud from their foals to Grand Prix horses, observe training sessions and learn about the breeding programme.
Also on offer to dressage fans is the chance to train with one of Britain’s brightest dressage stars – Laura Bechtolsheimer. Team Silver and Individual Bronze medallist at the 2009 European Championships, Laura has been breaking records already in 2010 and is offering the opportunity to give the lucky winner of this lot a lesson on their own horse at her yard in Gloucestershire.
Paralympic ace Lee Pearson is also offering a lesson. Nine times Paralympic gold medalist Lee is also successful at able-bodied dressage and is looking for a keen winner to put through their paces on their own horse at his Staffordshire base.
