4 Things You Can Bid on in the Strides for Equality Equestrians Auction

Founded in 2020 by Heather Gillette and Anastasia (Stacy) Curwood, Strides for Equality Equestrians (SEE) is an allyship program for the equestrian community. To create equitable opportunities and communities for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) equestrians, SEE strives to address challenges of access, expand professional pathways, engage, and educate.

To celebrate two years of SEE and their mission, a month auction has been running throughout October, with some great items to bid on, from lessons to books to swag bags and more. The auction is closing today (at midnight PST), as we wrap up the month of October, but there’s still time to put in any final bids.

Let’s take a look at some of the items you could win…
