MARK YOUR CALENDAR!
The American Hanoverian Society’s Stallion Service Auction is live Jan 21 through Feb 10, 2024!
Welcome to the 2024 North American breeding season, and we kick it off with the American Hanoverian Society’s annual Stallion Service Auction!
As mare owners we love spending the cold winter months researching pedigrees, looking at stallions to match our mare(s)!
Now that we’re in the new year it’s time to take auction and secure those 2024 breedings!
The AHS Stallion Service Auction gives you early access to some of the top stallions in this country and your bid helps support AHS programs and activities including our large awards program and one of the biggest inspection tours in the country.
Good luck and happy bidding!
Stallion owners graciously donate breedings to their stallions to support the registry and the mare owners in North America. For stallions and stallion owners, this is an unbeatable opportunity to provide visibility to a broader community of mare owners! Funds raised through the SSAs go towards supporting important registry objectives such as education, breeder support, inspection tours, and other registry demands.
Over the past couple years, these SSAs are utilizing online auction formats that are simple, easy, and intuitive to navigate and place your bids. Payments are all made effortless through these online auction platforms, and all the information you need to know about each participating stallion is right there at your fingertips! When the auction ends, the registry connects each auction winner with the stallion owners to facilitate the contract exchange.
To participate in this auction, be sure to favorite this link to the 2024 AHS SSA, register to bid ahead of time, and mark your favorites. The excitement starts soon! Read on for the complete list.
Psst: if you’re a stallion owner with an active Hanoverian or Rhineland stallion, it is not too late to donate a breeding to the cause!
