🎁 DONATE TO THE MET SILENT AUCTION — HELP US BEAT $16,000! 🐴

Our annual Masterson Equestrian Trust Silent Auction is gearing up, and we need YOUR help to make this year our biggest one yet!

Last year, thanks to the generosity of our incredible donors and supporters, the auction raised more than $16,000 to support MET’s mission of preserving and improving Masterson Station Park as a free, public space for our equestrian community. This year, we're working hard to beat that goal — and we need amazing auction items to make it happen!

✨ Have something to donate? The sky’s the limit! We welcome donations of all kinds, including:

🐎 Riding lessons, training packages & equestrian experiences
🎟️ Event tickets, sporting experiences & entertainment packages
🏡 Weekend getaways, vacation stays & unique experiences
🛍️ Gift baskets, gift cards & local business packages
🎨 Artwork, handmade goods, jewelry & specialty items
🍷 Restaurant certificates, dining experiences & w**e baskets
🐴 Equine products, tack, apparel & horse-themed merchandise
💼 Professional services, memberships & exclusive offerings

No donation is too small, and creative contributions are always welcome! Whether you're a local business, equestrian professional, artist, experience provider, or simply someone who wants to support our park, your contribution can make a difference.

📣 PLEASE SHARE THIS POST! Know a business, organization, or individual who might be willing to donate? Tag them in the comments or share this post to help us spread the word!

"Watching horse clients excel at Devon, Churchill Downs, WEF and Upperville is thrilling. But seeing them enjoy what Masterson has to offer is at the heart of why I started MEND.HORSE. We horse lovers are so lucky to have this special playground in our backyard, and I am truly honored to support it.
I hope y'all have a blast at the Hunter Pace. "

Huge thank you to Liz at .horse for her continued support of our Hunter Pace and of course our wonderful Park! Keep your eye out for the MEND.HORSE jump on event day!
