Bidding is now open for the Masterson Equestrian Trust's 20th Anniversary Auction, supporting equestrian green space in the Lexington, Kentucky area.

Now in its 20th year, MET is a 501c3 nonprofit aimed at preserving and protecting Masterson Station Park as an equestrian facility from development and repurposing.

Items up for auction include halters worn by Justify, Tiznow, Distorted Humor and Tapit; lessons with top equestrian teachers; photo sessions; a box to the Blue Grass Stakes; a tailgate spot to the Defender 3-Day Event, and dozens of equine-related gifts and products.

Located in Lexington, Kentucky, Masterson Station Equestrian Park is an equestrian schooling, competition and trail facility and is one of the only equestrian municipal parks in the nation that is open to the public for people (and their horses) to freely enjoy. The Park consists of rolling hills, cross-country fences ranging in size from starter to preliminary level (with a handful of smaller jumps perfect for introducing young horses to jumping), multiple water complexes, banks and ditch complexes, conditioning lanes, open riding spaces, a sand schooling arena with jumps, a dressage complex with several rings, indoor arena, trails, trailer parking and more.

MET's all-volunteer board that does everything from mowing and arena maintenance to repairing and maintaining jumps, galloping lanes and trails, to advocating to preserve and protect the equestrian facilities from development and repurposing.

“Masterson is the first place that I found that made me feel like Kentucky was my home after we moved here,” said board member Christine Siegel. “It holds a special place for me.”
