The Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC)
is proud to once again host the Stallion Service Auction.
This year’s service auction is a two part auction which kicked
off with live in-person bidding at the 2011 World Championship
Appaloosa Show. The service auction re-opened for online bidding
on November 1 and will close on January 31, 2012.
The ApHC Stallion Service Auction allows breeders
to select a quality stallion and bid for their chance to win
a breeding to their chosen stallion. The resulting foal from
the breeding will be eligible for the World Show 2-year-old
incentive classes with huge payouts.
ApHC-registered stallions must hold a National
or World Champion title or sire thereof, or the ApHC-approved
outcross stallion must have a comparable championship or sire
thereof.
Stallion owners who committed a breeding to
the auction received the following benefits:
• A certificate entitling stallion owners to select from the
stallion’s offspring from the 2012 breeding season to nominate
for the 2015 2-year-old incentive classes. This certificate
must be submitted with the foal’s registration application.
• Stallions are marketed to loyal audience
of mare owners interested in breeding.
Mare owners who purchase a breeding through
the auction received the following benefits:
• A certificate entitling the resulting foal to be nominated
for the 2015 2-year-old incentive classes. This certificate

Payment of the stallion fee will be made to the ApHC by February

are strictly between stallion owner and mare owner.
• A chance to breed to a high quality stallion
at a reduced price.

entry fee as per rules of the futurity must be made). In the
event 1) a mare fails to conceive, 2) of the death of a foal
