Some opportunities just come at the right time of the year, and this is certainly one of them. If you’re like the majority of us, and you’ve only just realized that you have just about two weeks to get all your Christmas shopping and you’re woefully behind, listen up. Not only is this a ready-made list of things you want your friends to have anyway (also, maybe a Christmas present to yourself?), but you don’t even have to get up off the couch.
The Equine Academy at Lexington Catholic High School, a non-breed, non-discipline specific program that seeks to educate the next generation of equine leaders, is hosting a really sweet eBay auction to benefit their program. The auction was launched just this previous Sunday, and it runs all this week through to next Sunday at 8pm. Also, we should mention that this school created the wonder that is our fearless leader, John The Great, so duh, it’s a pretty cool place to go to school.
What do they have at the auction, you ask? Well, let me tell you, they’ve got some pretty cool stuff. I wouldn’t mind the Opening weekend at Saratoga Racecourse with two nights hotel & dinner myself (HINT HINT SANTA). Also, two all stage passes to Jazz Fest in New Orleans? Count me in! Check out the list:
1. Meet and greet with Zenyatta, 2010 Horse of the Year
2. Darley America Dream day tour & Keeneland racing experience
