The Kentucky Horse Park’s proposed new stabling block will benefit from silent and live auctions

Lexington, KY. January 13, 2009.  The Mid South Eventing & Dressage Association (MSEDA) is preparing a bonanza gala with both live and silent auctions at its annual winter event on January 31, 2009 at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Lexington. The proceeds from these auctions will benefit renovations of the existing stabling at the Kentucky Horse Park and additional enhancements to the dressage complex for the Alltech FEI 2010 World Equestrian Games and beyond. These projects rely entirely by private donations, which make this event especially important to the equestrian community.

Invitations have been sent out for the evening gala event, which concludes a fun filled day that begins with a breakfast sponsored by Intervet followed by an educational seminar with David O’Connor, sponsored by Arthrodynamic.  David will present the Annual Awards at the luncheon kindly sponsored by Hagyard and will also be guest of honor at the gala celebration.  The well-known Jimmy Church Band will provide entertainment for the dinner-dance evening.

The Live Auction features several fabulous items:

• Vacation House in Destin, Florida for one week along with one weeks board for two horses at Southern Cross Dressage Facility
• Two VIP tickets to Badminton Horse Trials with Grandstand Seating and behind the scenes tour of the 18th century stables
• One week vacation at any Marriott time share resort in the world
• Two portable cross-country fences
• Luncheon and Tour of Private Gardens at Gainesway Farm
• Sculpture of Sir Walter Lyzalot
• The Silent Auction includes:
• Tempur-Pedic mattress
• Two stadium fences
• Four Keeneland Clubhouse tickets for spring or fall meet (excl. Bluegrass S. Day)
• Mountain Horse Winter Jacket
• Sweater from Bridle Suite

Horse Radio Network is a media partner for the day and will produce a show about the event that will be on the MSEDA and also available for download on iTunes.
