Breedings to Donato Hanover, Deweycheatumnhowe, Conway Hall, Camluck, A Rocknroll Dance, and Dragon Again are among the 85 donated to New Vocations’ 16th annual stallion auction.

The auction will start on Monday, February 10 and will run through 2 p.m. on Friday, February 14 at 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; ones that have been barren two or more consecutive years; any that are due after May 21, and those that are already booked. To view the list of stallions visit horseadoption.com or email [email protected]. Breedings are still being sought and can be added until the auction begins.

New Vocations is the largest racehorse adoption program in North America, accepting over 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.”
