Description
RAFFLE OPEN THROUGH DECEMBER 10
This online holiday raffle is for a one-of-a-kind pot featuring the horsehair of the four mares that were part of the “Renegade Six” harem, who were known for repeatedly circumventing the fence into Virginia’s False Cape State Park. Due to the marshy terrain and the sound water being navigable, we were unable to extend the fence out any further. After many failed attempts at permanently relocating the horses back to NC, federal officials asked that we safely move them to the farm in spring 2018. Since then, three of the horses have been adopted out to loving homes—their stallion Ducky, his son Mateo, and one of the mares, Ocean Pearl. The remaining three mares, Virginia Dare, Bonita, and Kitty Hawk, will remain with us at the farm, well looked after for the rest of their lives.
Each raffle ticket is $7. Add this item to your cart to purchase your ticket(s) and continue to the checkout. Your order number will be entered into the raffle multiple times, equaling the quantity of your purchased ticket(s). Tickets can be purchased until 5 pm December 10th. The winner will be contacted and then announced on CWHF social media channels. The pot will be shipped to the winner.
About the Renegade Mares:
Virginia Dare – is in her late teens and is the mother of Ocean Pearl and Mateo. She is an intelligent, headstrong mare who shares boss duty with her sister Valentine on our farm.
Bonita – is in her mid-teens and is daughter to one of the wild herd’s oldest living mares, Taka. She is very sociable and is easily distinguishable by her unique, off-centered star.
Kitty Hawk – is in her late teens, and is a wild spirit who often initiates play among the rest of the mares. She is curious and always up for an adventure.
Ocean Pearl – is in her teens and though adopted out, she continues to represent the Banker breed by participating in local horse shows and programs. She even had the honor of carrying the flag-bearer at this year’s Currituck rodeo!
Raffle tickets are available exclusively online, through our website only.
