from New Vocations

Laura, OH — Breedings to Deweycheatumnhowe, Conway Hall, Camluck, Here Comes Herbie, Western Ideal and Dragon Again are among the 90 seasons donated to New Vocations’ 15th annual stallion auction.

The auction starts Monday (Feb. 11) and runs through 2 p.m. Friday (Feb. 15) at www.ongait.com.

The auction is conducted in an open ended format that allows for bidding slightly beyond the 2 p.m. deadline if less than five minutes has elapsed since the last bid on a particular breeding.

Participants are asked to be considerate and not bid for mares over 20, ones that have been barren two or more consecutive years, or those that are already booked.

To view the list of stallions visit www.horseadoption.com or e-mail dot@horseadoption.com. Breedings are still being accepted until the auction begins Feb 11. For more information call 937.947.4020.

New Vocations is the largest racehorse adoption program in North America, accepting more than 400 retired racehorses each year. Proceeds from the stallion auction go toward the care, retraining, and placement of retired racehorses.

“We would like to thank all the stallion donors for their generous support,” said Executive Director Dot Morgan. “They enable us to equip these horses with useful skills and get them into loving homes that will give them a life beyond the track. Every horse we adopt becomes an ambassador for the breed.”
