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.

Familiarizing yourself with the key players at each horse trial is an important step to your success at your next competition. One of those important figures is the show secretary. Think of the show secretary as the mastermind behind most of the organizational efforts related to each horse trial. They manage entries, the show schedule, ride times, stabling, and so much more. Without the hard work of the show secretary and their office staff, a horse trial simply would not be able to operate.
