Road to the Summit Auction Website now LIVE!

Auctions are always fun and this is one you won’t want to miss! The nonprofit, Parelli Foundation’sRoad to the Summit” auction website is now live. You can join in the fun by placing your bids on one or more of the six high quality, Parelli-trained, Atwood Ranch horses. There’s even a buy-it-now price available online for the horses. In addition, there are other auction items, including donated services with Licensed Parelli Professionals, Pat Parelli celebrity chinks and Barnum and Bailey custom designed jewelry. To learn more, go to: www.BiddingOwl.com/RoadToTheSummit.

“This year, we’ve expanded the offerings on the auction website,” explains Parelli Foundation Executive Director Lori Northrup. “We heard from so many of our supporters that they’d like additional opportunities to support the Foundation, so it made sense to add to our auction offerings.” Seventy percent of the proceeds from the sale of the horses will go to the nonprofit, 501(c)(3) Parelli Foundation. The remaining 30% will go to the Parelli Professionals who have been working with the horses during the past year, to help offset the costs of feed, veterinary, horse care and travel that they have incurred. All monies raised from the additional items will go to the Parelli Foundation to support its mission areas.

The auction website includes details about all of the items, as well as photos, short bios, and links to additional information about the horses and the Parelli Professionals that are partnered with them. The auction began on August 1, 2015, and will close at the end of the Savvy Summit Celebration on September 13, 2015. (The Summit takes place September 11-13 at the Parelli Pagosa Springs, Colorado campus.) Final bidding will take place in person, by smart phone, tablet device or computer.
