ITA Stallions and Services Auction Begins Dec. 16

The third annual Indiana Thoroughbred Alliance (ITA) Stallions and Services Auction kicks off on the Starquine.com platform Friday, Dec. 16 and will run through Monday, Dec. 19 at 5 p.m. ET. The auction benefits the philanthropic efforts of the ITA to support aftercare, education and promotional efforts for the Indiana horse racing industry.

Stallions from Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Florida are included in the auction from: Arrowhead Thoroughbreds, Breakway Farm, Calumet, Chesapeake Farm, Crestwood, Darby Dan, Gainesway, Indiana Stallion Station, Poplar Creek Horse Farm, R Star Stallions, Taylor Made Stallions and WinStar Farm.

Items and experiences up for auction include halters worn by Gun Runner and Runhappy, a wine tasting for 20 at Cedar Creek Winery and a stallion portrait or sales conformation package from Jessi Collins Photography.

“We love having our auction prior to the holidays because it's the perfect excuse for some fun last-minute gift shopping,” says Christine Cagle, the ITA's Stallions and Services Auction Chairperson. “Plus the last-minute tax deductions don't hurt, either.”

Almost all of the money raised goes back into the Indiana Thoroughbred industry. In 2022, the ITA gave back over $30,000 in donations to nonprofits, educational seminars for Indiana horsemen and women and increased marketing campaigns for Indiana-bred horses consigned during the sales season.

“Being that the ITA is a group of men and women whose livelihoods depend on the industry, we are always looking for ways that we can do better to support the industry we love,” says Cagle. “I am so thankful for all the farms and business owners who have supported us through the years.”

Preview all of the offerings on the ITA's Facebook page and on Starquine.com. Bidding starts at 10 a.m. ET Dec. 16.
