Voltaire Design Saddle Up 4 the NHS to Raise Funds
The equestrian industry has, without doubt, played a significant part in helping raise funds for the National Health Service (NHS) since the coronavirus pandemic began.
Bolesworth, Virtual Eventing, professional riders, horse owners and many more have pulled together to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds needed to support frontline staff and all the work that goes on behind the scenes.
Voltaire Design, the innovative global saddle brand, are the latest industry giants to launch activities to raise vital funds needed in these uncertain times. Donations will go to the NHS Charities Together, the initiative that donates £1million a day to the NHS, alongside The Mater Foundation.
Saddle Up 4 The NHS hopes to raise £50,000 with an exciting raffle boasting ‘money can’t buy’ gifts and equestrian prizes. Entries cost £25.00 per ticket, with more tickets available by donating more funds.
The top prize is a dream package from Voltaire Design worth £6,000! The winner will receive a bespoke Voltaire dressage or showjumping saddle from the Elegance range, with matching stirrup leathers, girth, saddle pad, ear bonnet, baseball cap, socks, keyring and a bag for life!
Other tantalising prizes include training opportunities and lessons from a selection of top riders in the sport, money can’t buy experiences and a variety of goods including a Loxley shoulder bag from Fairfax and Favor.

How it works
Prizes will be awarded in draw order, with the first ticket out of the pot winning the ultimate saddle package prize from Voltaire Design, alongside the opportunity to be the first to choose from the other gifts available. The second ticket winner will then be able to select a gift, and then so on as the tickets are drawn. The prize draw will take place on August 16, 2020.
Matt Tarrant, the General Manager of Voltaire Design United Kingdom and Ireland, said:
Voltaire Design has always been much more than just a saddle brand – with its world-class family of truly talented, dedicated and generous riders, trainers and partners, it is a community.”
We saw an opportunity to bring together the people that make that community as special as it is in the UK and Ireland to hopefully raise a significant sum for NHS Charities Together and The Mater Foundation and to do our bit to support the national efforts in the ongoing fight against COVID-19.”
By launching in a raffle format, we hope to make this as inclusive as possible for anyone wanting to donate and to give back not just to our incredible healthcare organisations, but to the wider equestrian world by providing access to riders, trainers, and incredible opportunities for anyone who enters. With such an exciting and unique array of prizes we hope the equestrian community will buy as many tickets as possible.”
