The True Prospect Fire Relief Online Auction will take place on Ebay. PRO will be working with the Southern California Equestrian Sports Foundation (SCES) to organize the auction that will benefit all those affected by the barn fire at True Prospect Farm.
SCES is a 501(c)(3), which will allow for your donation to be a tax deduction. When the auction closes SCES will distribute all the proceeds directly to Boyd Martin, Lillian Heard, Caitlin Silliman, Ryan Wood, Abbie Golden and the Duttons. Our goal is to have the auction up and running in a week. We plan to have all auction donors ship their items directly to the winning bidder (we will provide you with the address of the winning bidder once the auction closes). We are happy to have a wide variety of items donated as we believe that this will appeal to many different people.
If you are interested in making a donation this is what we will need:
(1) photo - if possible
(2) detailed description
(3) value
(4) donor info as you would like it to be listed
(5) Name, telephone number and email address
Everyone at True Prospect Farm is truly speechless by the the outpouring of attention and generosity headed their way by the equine community. THANK YOU for your contribution, it will make a big difference!

The horses in trainer Joe Davis’ barn at Horseshoe Indianapolis don’t just get standard hay in their nets each day. Throughout the afternoon, Davis or one of his employees opens the HayGain machine that sits at the end of his shed row and pulls out a warm, beautiful-smelling bale of freshly-steamed hay to fill their nets.
