SADDLE UP FOR THE NHS VOLTAIRE DESIGN LAUNCHES WITH STAR STUDDED PRIZE FUND
Monday 18 May 2020
Premier global saddle brand Voltaire Design has galvanized its UK and Ireland community of sponsored riders, venues and trainers to create ‘Saddle Up 4 The NHS with Voltaire Design’, a unique and innovative online raffle jam-packed with money-can’t-buy luxury and exclusive equestrian prizes, including the chance to ride away with the ultimate Voltaire Design saddle package.
The online raffle, hosted through the dedicated platform www.saddleup4nhs.co.uk, will raise funds to support frontline medical staff in the UK and Ireland in the fight against COVID-19 by donating all funds raised to NHS Charities Together in the UK and The Mater Foundation in Ireland.
Voltaire Design want to raise crucial funds for these incredible charities while also providing the opportunity to win some incredible prizes, training and experiences from across the Voltaire Design family.
You can view the list of prizes in full at www.saddleup4nhs.co.uk where you'll find lessons up for grabs with some of the world's best eventers, showjumpers, and dressage riders, as well as the chance to go behind the scenes at major events, ride out in London's Hyde Park, plus you could be in with the chance of winning a groom for the day, and so much more.
Importantly let's not forget the top prize: you could win the Ultimate Saddle Package from Voltaire Design, including a fully custom saddle of your choice from the Elegance Range plus all the goodies and accessories you need to get back in the saddle in style, worth approximately £6,000 plus the first pick of one other prize from the rest of the prize pot – a tantalising prospect for a lucky winner.
Further prizes include lessons, experiences and merchandise from FEI World No1 eventer Oliver Townend, current British Showjumping Open Champion Harriet Nuttall, equestrian legend Geoff Billington, 5* superstar Tina Cook, and the incredible Tina and Graham Fletcher and their sons Will and Olli, currently the National u21 and u16 showjumping champions, respectively as well as a whole host of other leading riders and trainers. Voltaire Design are also enormously excited to be working closely with some of their partner brands and events, including the Royal Windsor Horse Show and Fairfax & Favor.
Matt Tarrant, the General Manager of Voltaire Design United Kingdom and Ireland, said, “Voltaire Design has always been much more than just a saddle brand – with its world-class family of truly talented, dedicated and generous riders, trainers and partners, it is a community.”
“We saw an opportunity to bring together the people that make that community as special as it is in the UK and Ireland to hopefully raise a significant sum for NHS Charities Together and The Mater Foundation and to do our bit to support the national efforts in the ongoing fight against COVID-19.”
"By launching in a raffle format, we hope to make this as inclusive as possible for anyone wanting to donate and to give back not just to our incredible healthcare organisations, but to the wider equestrian world by providing access to riders, trainers, and incredible opportunities for anyone who enters. With such an exciting and unique array of prizes we hope the equestrian community will buy as many tickets as possible.”
