Auction lot details for Jonjo Bright Fundraiser auction with all proceeds going to the Jonjo Bright Trust.

The auction will close at 6pm on Sunday, March 6th, the day after our preview event. All seven stable tours are to be arranged for a mutually agreed date between the winning bidder and the stable. Please comment below or message me if that suits better. Serious bids only please guys. Good luck.

1. Willie Mullins. Morning on the gallops for four people to watch the Closutton Team work, followed by a stable tour to meet the plethora of superstars in residence.

2, Gordon Elliott. As above, a morning on the gallops at Cullentra to watch Gordon's string work, followed by a stable tour to get up close and personal with the Cullentra team. (I was fortunate to be on a similar visit to the yard last weekend, and it's a must for any racing fan.)

3. Nicky Henderson - We are delighted to offer a morning on the gallops at Seven Barrows, and breakfast for 2 people on a weekday, to be arranged at a mutually convenient time.

4. Paul Nicholls. 7.45am Arrive at Manor Farm Stables, Ditcheat, Shepton Mallet, Somerset.
8.00am See the horses exercising during 1st lot on the gallops
9.00am Enjoy an excellent breakfast at the Manor House Inn, Ditcheat
10.00am Watch horses exercise during the rest of the morning, there will be plenty of opportunity to look around stable yard, meet the stable stars and see facilities.

5. Philip Hobbs - The person who has brought this pledge is entitled to breakfast
with Philip Hobbs for four people following a morning on the
gallops for the 2015/16 or 2016/17 season. We will also include tickets to go
racing at a local meeting.

6. Gary Moore - This voucher entitles you and 3 guests to enjoy a tour of
Cisswood Racing Stables.
Cisswood is set in 180 acres of beautiful Sussex countryside and woodland. Join the biggest dual-purpose trainer in England and his team as they ride out their string of flat and national hunt horses, and follow that with a tour of the yard.

7. Dan Skelton - This Voucher entitles the holder and one guest, to a morning on the gallops with breakfast at Lodge Hill at a mutually convenient time. See the horses in training with Dan go about their morning enjoying breakfast in the meeting room. Following breakfast, enjoy a tour of the yard and meet the horses in the relaxed enviroment of Lodge Hill.

We also have a framed AP McCoy print which was kindly donated by Pat Healy. Again, message me with bids, or comment below. Many thanks.

Sharing is caring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
