Since 1998 Halldis and Tom Sayvetz of Asgard Arabians have donated one of their purebred Arabian horses every year to the Old Dominion organization as a raffle horse. Many of those raffle horses have gone on to have fabulous endurance careers with their happy owners with outstanding placings in AERC endurance rides.
Raffle tickets are available at all OD endurance rides and clinics, and from any of the OD Board Members at any time. Contributions towards the raffle are tax deductible - please make checks payable to the Old Dominion Endurance Ride, Inc (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.)
This year's winning ticket will be pulled at the final OD ride for 2007 - the Fort Valley Ride in Fort Valley, VA. Winners need not be present to win.
Tickets are $5 each, or $20 for 5.
For more information on purchasing raffle tickets please contact
OD Board Member Jack Webber.
