In conjunction with the Alan Shinton Team Challenge, Bromont is excited to hold a Calcutta auction to raise funds for Lillian Heard, Caitlin Silliman and Ryan Wood. These are the three aspiring riders who lived above the barn at True Prospect and whose possessions were destroyed by fire.
The Calcutta event will auction off teams competing in the Alan Shinton Team Challenge. These teams will be comprised of a CCI*, CCI2* and a CCI3* horse and rider combination. The auction itself will take place at the annual Red and White Party hosted by Equine Canada and Alan Shinton. This reception will be in the Bromont hospitality tent on Thursday June 9th. The Red and White reception starts at 6pm and we expect the Calcutta auction to begin at 8pm with an introduction to the teams and their members.
How does a Calcutta auction work?
In a Calcutta auction, people bid on the team that they think will win the competition. All of the teams will be auctioned off and the highest bidder for each team will win “ownership” for that team. Of the money raised from the auction 50 percent will be divided between Lillian, Caitlin and Ryan. The other 50 percent will go to the “owners” of the top 3 teams with a 50/30/20 split.
Please come out and support a great cause and get your bidding hand ready.
Boyd Martin has always believed in Luke 140 since he came to his barn in 2019. The fiery bay gelding has completed one five-star, in 2023 at Luhmühlen (Germany) where they were fourth, but injuries have meant he’s had to sit out a couple of seasons and miss out on selection for two Olympic Games, most recently in 2024.
