I will be putting 2 threads up listing auction prizes, giving DG'ers a chance to bid even if they can't make the Boogie. Because the main event is obviously the auction on the night of the 10th I can't conduct this as an internet auction, the highest bid from here needs to remain a secret. So - if you would like to bid please pm me the item, your highest bid, your "real" name, address, and contact number for Sunday 11th March. I will treat these as "sealed bids" and take the highest for each item with me. Then a fellow-DG'er will bid their heart out to try to win for you. 
(If you are not a member of this DG please email your bid to silversandclinicsAThotmail.com).
If you have any questions or comments it might be best to pm them to me, because if this thread gets really long (as they do...) people will find it hard to work out what is going on. I can add anything that is relevant.
Here are the prizes:
1) Session with an RA
A 3 hour session with Intelligent Horsemanship Recommended Associate Zoe Chipman. Zoe will travel to anywhere within 70 miles of Farnham in Surrey (Or further if overnight accommodation and a good dinner provided!). No travel expenses will be charged.
2) Complementary Canine Communication Consultation
With Jo Ors, Dog Listener (as trained by Jan Fennell, The Dog Listener). Session to last approximately 2-3 hours in your home and can cover learning how to communicate effectively with your best friend and/any specific behavioural problems.
In the event that the winner is further than 30-mile radius from BR2, Jo will provide a ‘one off’ telephone consultation, or you can visit.
3) Showjumping lesson
Michael Potter, Notts based show jumper, Protege of Di Lampard, British and Olympic Team SJ will give a SJ lesson on your own horse. Any one who wishes Michael to travel to them (within a reasonable distance) must pay his travel expenses. For anyone interested who lives a distance away, Sulasmum can offer stabling, inc bedding and haylage for the horse so you can go to him. There are B&Bs in the area if anyone would like to make a weekend break of it and have a hack out during the stay.
4) An Portrait of your Pet.
An Oil Painting by talented artist Martyn White. Martyn is pleased to donate a 12 x 10 commission (worth £175) to the Charity Boogie, in aid of Equine Market Watch. Visit www.oilpaintingsbymartynwhite.co.uk to see examples of his work. He is also giving 15% of the value of orders taken in March to Equine Market Watch, if you mention EMW when ordering.
