Horse rescue group hosts silent auction at San Diego Polo Club
Saving Horses, Inc.(SHI) will be hosting a silent auction with all proceeds going towards rescued horses. This event will be held Sunday, September 20 from 1-4 at the San Diego Polo Club located at 14555 El Camino Real in Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067. Silent auction items will include diamonds, art work, home décor items, polo clothing, tack items, polo accessories, gift certificates, and much more.
Saving Horses, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in 2007 by Audrey Reynolds and Killeen “Killy” Fornelli. SHI actively rescues horses from slaughter, abuse, neglect and abandonment. Since the passing of Prop 6 in California in 1998, many horses from California still go to slaughter in Mexico or Canada. Consequently many horses showing up at auction in California are at risk of ending up at slaughter. To read about SHI auction and feedlot saves, visit the “rescue pages” on their website. To date, 41 horses have been rescued since the formation of this organization.
Horse rescue is expensive. SHI can only rescue as many horses as there are funds to support their efforts. The funding comes from donations, fundraisers and grants.

So come on out and enjoy the Rancho Valencia Club Finals, bid on some great items, and help a worthy cause. SHI is accepting donation items for the silent auction. If you have items or would like to make a donation, contact Audrey Reynolds at 619.247.7237 or audreyd1@cox.net
