from New Vocations

Laura, OH — Breedings to Donato Hanover, Art Major, Well Said, Creatine, Pet Rock, McArdle, Guccio, Googoo Gaagaa, Triumphant Caviar, Sunshine Beach and Artspeak are among the 75-plus seasons donated to New Vocations’ 19th annual stallion auction.

Breedings are still being sought and can be added until the auction begins.

The auction runs Tuesday (Feb. 7) through 2 p.m. Friday (Feb. 10) 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 have elapsed since the last bid on a particular breeding.

Participants are asked to be considerate and not bid for mares over 20 years old, ones that have been barren two or more consecutive years, any that are due after May 15, and those that are already booked.

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

“We would like to thank all the stallion donors for their generous support,” said Executive Director Dot Morgan. “They enable us to provide rehabilitative care for these horses and equip them with crucial skills prior to placing them in qualified homes. Every horse we adopt becomes an ambassador for the breed.”
