Horse Raffle Ideas

Whether you are a 4-H member in search of the perfect horse-themed raffle or the person in charge of fundraising for your church or community organization, you can increase the success of your raffle by offering prizes designed to appeal to horse owners and horse lovers alike.

  1. Horse Lover Gift Basket

    • Gift baskets are always great raffle prizes, and the beauty of a horse-themed gift basket is that it can be tailored to both horse owners and non-horse owners. If your raffle targets horse owners specifically, you can fill your gift basket with an assortment of items every horse owner needs, including brushes, hoof picks and horse treats. If you want to appeal to horse lovers without an equine of their own, you can fill the gift basket with movies, books and notepads with a horsey theme.

    Tack Shop Gift Certificate

    • Horse owners seem to always find themselves at the local tack and feed store, and a gift certificate to that store makes a great raffle prize. If your raffle is national or statewide, you can offer gift certificates for large feed store chains like Agway and Tractor Supply. If you are looking for a more local flavor, you can solicit gift certificate donations from tack shops in the area.

    Riding Lessons

    • A gift certificate for riding lessons is an excellent raffle prize for both horse owners and those who wish they were. Horse owners can always improve their riding skills, and those considering horse ownership can use those riding lessons to explore the sport before they make such a major commitment. Local 4-H leaders can ask their members to solicit donations from the owners and instructors at local stables and riding academies for use as raffle prizes.

    Horse-Themed Clothing

    • Sweatshirts, barn wear and polo shirts with a horsey theme make great raffle prizes as well. Raffle organizers can solicit donations from local stores, then display samples of those horse-themed pieces of clothing on the raffle table. Raffle winners can then choose those samples, or exchange them for other items of clothing in another size or color.
