The Foundation for the Pure Spanish Horse introduced to the public the 2009 Raffle Horse, Maravilla RSDP. The winning ticket for this two-year-old grey filly, a pure Spanish Horse with her registration document in hand, will be won in a drawing on Thanksgiving Day (November 26, 2009). Being young, this filly is offered with ground training, good manners and an exceptional pedigree. She will remain in training during 2009. In the new year, with her new owner, she will be of age to begin her under saddle work as well as to begin her contemplated career as a broodmare.

This raffle mare is being trained in Southern California. Visits to see her may be arranged by appointment through The Foundation’s Albuquerque office. She will be on display at Pure Spanish Horse events in Southern California.

The Foundation offers tickets for $10 each, or 11 tickets for $100 or 111 tickets for $1,000. Tickets may be purchased through The Foundation’s office or at events where the Pure Spanish Horse is offered.

The Foundation for the Pure Spanish Horse will use the funds generated by the sale of tickets to fund its many programs, including the 2009 essay, art and photography contest where the grand prize will be a Pure Spanish Horse. The Foundation is a not-for-profit public benefit corporation whose purpose is to develop, perpetuate and foster an appreciation and understanding of the Pure Spanish Horse (P.R.E.) throughout the Unites States, and any other country where interest in the P.R.E. has been expressed of the help of The Foundation requested.
