Officials with the New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program has announced that the organization is currently seeking stallion seasons for its 17th annual stallion auction that will be held February 9-13.

The auction will take place via ongait.com. All proceeds go toward the rehabilitation, retraining, and placement of retired Standardbreds.

“The service New Vocations provides our retired horses is very important to me and to the industry,” said Walnut Hall Ltd President & General Manager Alan Leavitt. “The number of horses this program is helping is amazing. I support their efforts every year with all of my stallions, and I want to encourage others to join in and help this worthy cause.”

“We are very thankful for the stallion owners and farms that have already stepped up and committed breedings.” shared executive director Dot Morgan. “During this holiday season we hope others will consider gifting a breeding to our auction. The funds raised are vital to helping us meet the needs of the hundreds of retired racehorses we take in each year.”

The annual stallion auction is one of the program’s largest fundraising events. It’s held online via ongait.com and typically offers over 80 breedings to stallions throughout the U.S and Canada. Seasons donated to date include Always A Virgin, Chapter Seven, Conway Hall, Deweycheatumnhowe and Wishing Stone.
