The Fourth Annual Indiana Thoroughbred Alliance (ITA) Stallions and Services Auction launches online Monday, Dec. 18 at 9 a.m. EST. The one-day event will close bidding the same day at 4 p.m., with a preview live Dec. 15-17 at equiring.com/sale/290/ITA24. The auction will feature stallions from Kentucky's Darby Dan, Spendthrift Farm, WinStar Farm, and Crestwood; from Indiana's Indiana Stallion Station, Breakway Farm, and Arrowhead Thoroughbreds; and from Ohio's Poplar Creek Horse Center. The auction also offers services and equipment, such as massage and PEMF services, transportation services , broodmare board, veterinary services, and more.
“The mission of our auction is to bring together the industry to raise money for numerous causes,” said Christine Cagle, the ITA Stallions and Services Auction Chairperson. “We realize there is a need for more assistance in our state when it comes to facilitating education, boosting promotion, and lifting the industry. Having our auction prior to the holidays is the perfect excuse for some last-minute gift shopping as well as tax deductions prior to the end of the year. This is our one big fundraiser we do, and all of the money goes to a greater good.”
The auction has raised almost $100,000 since 2020, with nearly 90% of that money going back into the Indiana horse industry. The proceeds have funded scholarships, racehorse aftercare, breeder and owner education, the ITA Industry Crisis Fund, and promotional efforts for the Indiana Thoroughbred industry.
All listings and updates are posted on the ITA's Facebook page and the ITA's website.
