I know everyone is wondering where the post about the AMHR Stallion Sweepstakes went.
We were asked to hold off on in until a couple of administrative things could be dealt with. But we have been given the "green light" so it is "ALL SYSTEMS GO !!" The only thing that has changed since the earlier post is that Stallion nominations will close March 1. Mare owners will be able to bid from March 15 to March 31.
In case you missed the previous post - This is a renewal of the AMHR Stallion Sweepstakes where owners of AMHR-registered stallions can nominate their stallion for $200.
Mare owners can bid on breeding to that stallion. The winning bidder can have one mare bred to that stallion. The Stallion owner can also breed one mare to that stallion. The resulting 2 foals will be able to compete in a special class that will be held at the AMHR Nationals.
All of the funds are jackpotted and there are payouts to 8th place. In addition to being able to send a foal to compete in the class, the owner of the sire of the 1st place foal gets a bonus payout.
In previous years, some of the payouts were really big!!
And one thing that makes this an auction for EVERYONE is that we will be having our bidding done on-line (years past - bidders had to be present at AMHR Nationals-at a time that was really inconvenient to lots of people), which excluded a lot of potential bidders from participating. We are working out the details to make this a "real time" auction via the LB Last Chance Auctions site. Mare owners will be able to proxy bid!!!!!!! THANK YOU to Lois for working with us on this!!!!!!!
Once we get the nominations from stallion owners - we will be posting all kinds of information about the stallion on Sweepstakes website - with a link to the page where they can bid on that stallion.
THANK YOU to Bruce Abbott, committee chair, for bringing this exciting program back!!
