When is the sale?
The stallion service auction will be held January 13, 2007 at the Ramada Plaza Hotel in Warsaw, IN. Sale starts at 1:00pm.

How do I bid on a stallion?
There are several ways to place your bid on the stallion of your choice.  First, you can attend the stallion service auction in Warsaw in January and bid live.  Stallion services are sold just as in a standard auction.  Second, you may send a deposit check to any stallion service committee member and bid over the phone.  This requires a filled out phone bid sheet that can be downloaded and printed here.  The check and phone bid sheet needs to be received before the auction and is made out in the amount of half of the opening bid for the stallion of your choice.  Example:  If you want to buy a stallion who’s stud fee is $1000 the opening bid would be $500.  Your deposit check would be for $250.  In the event that you are not successful, your check would of course be returned to you.  Lastly, you may bid absentee.  This also requires a deposit check as in phone bids, but you authorize us to bid for you.  If you intend to bid absentee, you MUST include a high end price on the stallion you want to buy.  This is a good option if we can not reach you by phone on sale day for you to bid over the phone.

Do I have to be a member to buy a stallion service?
Yes.  Membership forms are available on this website.  Single memberships are $15 and family memberships are $25.

Do I have to show to buy a stallion service?
No.  Buying a service through our program does however give you a free entry into the futurity, so we would encourage you to give it a try!

How do I enroll my stallion?
