NWSHBA Stallion Auction Information

Please read carefully --We have added some new marketing ideas

 

We hope you will consider donating your stallion to the 7th Annual NWSHBA stallion auction.  Auction proceeds fund educational programs and our annual  NWSHBA year end breeders show while giving great exposure to stallions standing here in the northwest.

 

Here is our tentative schedule of how the auction will run and how stallions will be promoted.

 

   Initial list of stallions in January Flying Changes.  Stallions received after Nov. 1st may not make this list but will be updated onto the website by January 1st.

 

   Auction opens as soon as the stallion is listed. We will have an Ainstant buy@ price listed. We are hoping this will encourage first time breeders to not be intimidated by the auction process and help the stallion owners be able to sell to a specific breeder if they choose to.  The regular bidding of any stallions not purchased will begin  January 1st for bidding.  All participating stallions will be listed on the website at this time.  No additional entries after January 1st. If everyone gets the information in before we may even be able to post the auction earlier.

 

   The Booking fee is paid directly to the stallion owner

 

o    The BIG BONUS FOR THE 2006 IS CIf you donate during the month of August you

will be able to supply 125 ads of your stallion and we will include them in this years show program. The stallions will also be listed on the AInstant Buy@ Display at the 2005 NSBA Classic Horse Show on September 9-11,2005 in Spanaway, Wa. Those stallions purchased through the AInstant Buy@ program will still be advertised in all of our 2006 marketing plans, but will be listed as sold with the purchasers name. Bring or send a video of your stallion and we will have a table set up with a VCR for viewing at the horseshow and other Promotional events this year

                                               

   Website listing for the stallion auction and individual stallion pages will be located on www.nwshba.com.  There will also be a link to each stallion=s homepage and owner=s email so potential bidders can contact/research as needed.

 

   For January stallion issues we plan to run special ad in Flying Changes, Northwest Horse Trader and Horses Incorporated

 

   Auction will close March 1st and all bids must be received no later than March 5th.  Stallion owners and bidders will be notified of auction results by March 15th.

 

   Any remaining stallions not bid on in the first round of bidding shall enter the second chance auction that opens March 7th and closes April 25th with bids received no later than May 1st.  After May 1st stallion owners and auction bidders will be notified of final results.

 

   Final results will be run in June Flying Changes with stallions and winning bidders listed.

 


   NWSHBA has breated the Breeders Bonus Program. It is open to weanlings bred the year the stallion participated in the auction.  For stallions participating in 2006, all weanlings in 2007 sired by them would be eligible to compete for the added bonus money at the NSBA September Classic.

 

We look forward to promoting our Northwest Stallions and hope to have you involved.  Last year=s auction promoted some of the finest stallion yet and we look forward to an even greater success this year.

 

Attached is a donation form for your convenience.
