Zoob and Presley go to Hungary! Buy a raffle ticket to help them travel and the winners get fabulous prizes!

We have two unique and rare Grand Prizes to choose from for those who wish to support Zoobie in her quest for Gold at the 2019 FEI World Pony Driving Championships in Kisber, Hungary and to support Presley who will be a strong podium contender in the 2019 FEI World Young Horse Driving Championships, also in Hungary. There are two Grand Prizes with the first drawing allowing the winner to choose their favorite and the remaining Grand Prize going to the second ticket drawn.

And what are these prizes? Well, one is a 30 lb case of Alaskan Weathervane Scallops frozen on board the boat in the pristine waters of the Bering Sea. This case of scallop meats is convenient for the chef wrapped in 24 individual 1.25 lb packages. The other Grand Prize is a 20 lb case of Alaskan Red King Crab also caught in the Bering Sea and packaged as cooked, frozen clusters – easy to thaw, shake, and serve.

These are the best Alaska (or the world) has to offer. And they are not easy to come by. Each Grand Prize retails for about $750…when you can find them!

We will sell a maximum of 100 tickets for $250 each. The two Grand Prize winners will be drawn after the first inspection in Kisber, Hungary on September 24. The first ticket drawn will permit the owner of the ticket to choose which seafood package is their favorite while the other package goes to the second ticket holder drawn. Winners must have their prizes shipped to a location in the continental United States. Shipping will take place in October after the Red King Crab fishing season is over for 2019. And also in October for the Alaska Weathervane Scallops. Both in plenty of time for the two winners to serve all of their holiday guests in style.

Tickets are available in increments of $250. Your donation can be tax deductible if you wish by donating through the Society for the Preservation of American Combined Driving Excellence (SPACDE). Send your check with Zoobie or Presley written in the memo box to the SPACDE, P.O. Box 63, Milford, NJ 08848.

Or you can click on the link to our Go Fund Me page for a convenient way to donate.

And stay tuned as other great prizes will be added to this wonderful raffle throughout the summer. All prizes will be awarded even if all the available tickets are not sold.

And, no matter what, we love all of your support for these two fabulous equines – the little princess, Zoobie, a 14 year old Norwegian Fjord; and Presley (aka Impressive), a 6 year old KWPN gelding with lots of moxie and a great future!

Zoobie, Presley and I will be in Holland at Riant Equestrian Center training and preparing for not one but TWO FEI World Championships. Presley will be “Impressive” competing for the FEI Young Horse World Championship September 2-8, 2019 in Mezohegyes, Hungary while Zoobie Goes for Gold at the.....
