If you did not donate last year, here is how it works.  You “donate” one or more breedings to your stallion.  The proceeds from the auction go toward the programs of IALHA ,  IALHA National Show, and promotions and benefits of IALHA.  As the stallion owner, you provide the winner of the auction with your usual contract but do not collect stud fees or other fees except  “collection fees”, “shipping fees” or “live cover fees” as indicated in your stallions listing on the Stallion Service Auction website. IALHA invoices the winning bidders for the stud fee (highest bid).  Review the many benefits for stallion owners above.  We are sure you’ll want to participate!

If you donated a stallion breeding last year, we can send you a copy of what you submitted last year for you to update or approve. Be sure to read the NEW Terms and Conditions document and sign the last page of the Stallion Service Form, even if nothing has changed for your stallion, There are important changes this year. All stallion donations bidding starts at $500 or $400 ( non-purebred mares)  and fax or email it to auction@IALHA.org.
