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!

A few months ago we began a series of Pressure Proof tips dedicated to the many different choices we have when thinking about our riding potential. We labeled these choices mindsets and discovered that some lead us towards growth, grit, and gratitude while others lead us in the opposite direction, towards feeling disappointed, defeated, and discouraged.
Spring and summer are on the horizon. As rider’s calendars begin to fill with horse trial, clinic, and schooling outing dates, organizing teams are busy with preparations to ensure smooth operations and a great experience for participants, horses, and spectators.
The United States Equestrian Federation (USEF)/US Equestrian has announced the appointment of former USEF Eventing Development Coach Leslie Law to the position of Chef d’Equipe and High Performance Manager for the Defender U.S. Eventing Team, and Karyn Shuter, who will take on the newly developed role of U.S. Eventing High Performance Advisor. Both Law and Shuter will begin in their respective roles immediately.
Last year was a big one for USEA Young Event Horse program graduate Arden Augustus. He made a successful move-up to Modified with Sharon White in the tack, followed by a smooth transition to Preliminary, then went on to win two CCI2*-S divisions and ended the year with a CCI2*-L win.
