The Perfect Man is Waiting!

Posted by Red Horse on December 29th, 2009

So maybe he is a stallion, not a man. EVEN better, when he is bad it is ok to leave him out in the pasture. The American Trakehner Association (ATA) just announced that bidding for the 2010 ATA Stallion Service Auction (SSA) will open next week on January 1, 2010. Over 40 of the countries top stallions are participating in the event, including Olympic medalist, Abdullah *Pg*E*. Of course Favian *Ps* aka The Big Red Horse is participating too. What a great way to start the New Year by getting discounted breeding to a versatile Trakehner horse.

Best of all, if you have registered to bid in a previous SSA Auction you don’t need to re-register for the 2010 event. Online bidding ends on February 14 at 12 p.m. EST, so pick your favorite valentine before the day is over! The minimum starting bid for each stallion is $500. Bidding will increase in $50 increments thereafter.

All foals resulting from SSA breedings are eligible for the ATA Awards programs and ATA Futurity - which have paid out over $500,000 to date.

For further information on ancillary breeding costs, call the phone number listed next to each stallion’s name before you place your bid. Make sure you understand any associated fees required by the stallion owner as all winning bids in the ATA SSA are non-refundable.
