It's a fantastic way of making a lot of money - a minimum 250 tickets must be sold, so they get at least 6250 for a 2/3 year old...

I spotted that too - was wondering what it would cost to just buy all the tickets!

Opinions are like bum holes, everyone has one.
Even if you sent it for meat you would make a profit.

oh but they wouldnt stop selling the tickets at 250 if you did buy them all and knowing my luck someone else hwho had only bought one ticket would win !!

But any horse can be wrecked by a numpty! why is it so wrong to raffle, rather than sell?
Many years ago my sister won a welsh pony in a raffle at Barton EC, tickets were a pound, there were people buying 10 a time, and my sister only had her £1 pocket money and she won!!! We didnt keep the pony though, he was sold in the summer of that year.

A Freind of mine recsued a horse after it was won in a raffle by a freind of hers - a 6 month old Shire horse - it made 18.3 fully grown and the lady who won it thought she could keep it on her back garden!
Personally dont think its the best idea!

I think if you take into account that its a show centre Not a shopping centre raffling a horse, then they stand a pretty good chance of it not being kept in someone's back garden!

I personaly think its a bad idea .. poor horse doesnt know whats it bin let in for .. any person could end up winning that possibly not haveing and idea about the care of horses and a result of a fantasic horse being destryoed.

Not a lot worse than could happen to/with it when it went through the auction I guess?

1. On what part of a horses body is a twitch applied?
This has two answers though, depending on what you think, or 3 even!
Nose, ear, neck

the pics are misleading - they're actually of the mare's sire, not the mare they're raffleing who could look like a complete donkey!

I think the questions are a bit easy- most 9 year olds who read Pony magazine could answer them (or look them up on google!) but would be totally incapable of looking after a 2 year old horse, obviously. I don't think that people have to prove that they are competent enough.

Hi
I am certain that they would have to get the parents consent and everything. I think it depends whether win a horse competitions are good or not, obviously they take time to find a nice horse or pony for the winner when it is a magazine but at the same time I find it strange as it is an animal, a living being, not a comodity.
When horses are auctioned even at the top auctions there is no gurarantee that the horses will go to good homes. I feel a bit sorry for the horse that is being given away as a prize in this case. I hope they will find a good home with someone who actually wants them.
