Fabulous new prizes added to the Team GBR Auction

Fabulous new prizes added to the Team GBR Auction   The Team GBR Auction site has some fantastic prizes on offer this month, as fundraising continues to help send the British Teams to the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games 2010 in Kentucky, USA. There is a pamper day for two at the Peter Jones store on Sloane Street, London, where bidders can relax in the tranquil environment of the Clarins Studio, whilst enjoying £500 worth of treatments. If this doesn't take your fancy, then why not give yourself and your wardrobe a makeover, with a day for two with a fashion adviser at the John Lewis Oxford Street store, including £500 worth of Gift Vouchers, to redeem in the store. Fancy a trip to the 2011 World Cup? We have two Members tickets for the 2011 Polocrosse World Cup which takes place at Bishop Burton College, East Yorkshire from 8th-17th July 2011.

The tickets admit two people to the 10 day event, with World Cup, International and Pony Club Polocrosse matches showcased throughout the week.

An official Adidas Team GB polo shirt, signed by all the members of the 2004 British Olympic equestrian team has been donated by the British Olympic Association and is up for grabs this month. Rider's signatures on the shirt include Pippa Funnell, Carl Hester, Leslie Law, Emma Hindle, Nick Skelton and more.

Also available for auction is an 80 litre Waterboy horse wash, the only purpose built portable unit which fits into any horse box or trailer, allowing you to cool, clean, refresh and water your horse wherever you are; a unique signed, mounted and framed photograph of the 2008 British Paralympic Equestrian gold medal winning team and the opportunity to have a personal tour of Wood Lane Stables, home to Fox-Pitt eventing.

The World Equestrian Games, held in Kentucky will include the Olympic disciplines of dressage, eventing, showjumping and para-equestrian dressage along with the non-Olympic disciplines of driving, endurance, reining and vaulting - for the British team this means taking nearly 50 horses in total.

The Olympic and Paralympic teams are supported by lottery funding via UK Sport, but the non-Olympic sports do not receive any direct funding for this event. £500,000 is needed to support those teams and fund their trip to Kentucky next year.

"This is the first time the games have ever been held outside Europe," comments Will Connell, Equestrian Performance Director. "To send a full team and remain one of the top equestrian nations in the world, we need your help. All proceeds of this auction will go towards sending the team to the Games and supporting our talented riders in their quest to compete and win on the World stage."

The auction site has been launched with the support of the John Lewis Partnership who joined forces with the British Equestrian Federation (BEF) as part of the British Olympic Association FTSE 100 partnership scheme.
