Guidelines:

1. Auction begins October 23, 2010 and ends December 15, 2010 at 7pm CST (Central Standard Time).
2. Starting bids will  be half the Advertised Stud Fee.
3. Bids will be made in $50 increments and will only accept a minimum bid of $50 and maximum bid of $500 over current high bid.
4. Successful bidders will be notified by email on December 23, 2010.  Payment in full for breeding from successful bidder must be received by the SWRHA Office by December 23, 2010.

Tips:

1. Please enter correct Bidder Information.  If this information is incorrect and we are not able to contact you by email you could lose your bid.
2. Please use the Contact Information for the stallions to determine the additional fees and information on the stallions.
3. Do not wait to make a last second bid.  The chances that a last second bid will be processed is very slim.  While you are waiting to submit your bid at the last second someone else may have already raised the bid to a higher amount this could cause your bid to be denied.
4. The bidding form will allow you to bid more than the Advertised Stud Fee.  Be aware of the Advertised Stud Fee when placing your bid.  A bid above the Advertised Stud Fee will be accepted and processed.
