Included in this year's live auction are two Bidder Bonuses:
$1,000 Tier 1 Bidder Bonus – All winning bidders from the main online auction (December 15-22, 2023) will be entered into a drawing to receive a bonus in the amount of 50 percent of their final bid amount up to a maximum of $1,000 to be applied toward their bid amount.
$400 Tier 2 Bidder Bonus – All other bidders will be entered into a drawing to receive a bonus in the amount of 50 percent of their bid up to a maximum of $400 to be applied toward the purchase of a stallion season that did not sell during the main auction (or may be applied toward the purchase of a season for the 2025 breeding season).
This auction will utilize Dynamic Auction Endings. This means if any stallion receives a bid in the last five minutes, the auction will be extended by an additional five minutes. This will continue until there are no bids received in the final five minutes. At that point, bidding is closed for that stallion. This option is in place to give everyone a fair chance to place the last bid and prevent snipe bids at the last second of the auction event.
