I would like to thank Jean for her many many hours of putting this together. You have outdone yourself Jean.

Jean, can we let everyone see the $weep$take$ awards. You guys are not going to believe them. I think Bruce said they are 22 inches tall. He has been searching for just the perfect ones for us and I think he did a wonderful job. There will be two awards. One for the overs and one for the unders. Can you imagine one of those sitting on the coffee table. You will flip out when you see them.

Also, we have a lot of work to do now to get the $pecial $weep$take$ book done. We will need pictures of all the $weep$take$ $tallion$. Tara has offered to put together this hard covered very classy AMHR $weep$takes Book and have it on the table at this falls Nationals. Renee

well, heck, I was gonna nominate my new stallion, but I did not get the paperwork in time...

Here is one of the trophies....yes, it is approx. 22 INCHES TALL !! The other one will be very similar but I believe a different color of horse. The committee chair and co-chair sure had a lot of fun going shopping. I sure am impressed...how about you?

WOW - Neat Trophie .....i think i would rather have the trophie to tote around show to show rather then the prize money

I think we should go jackets....have always wanted one of them jackets.....

Lots of bids already! Looks like everyone was very anxious to start bidding on their favorite stallions

 

[Kitty]

I see alot of looking at all the pretty boys but not as much bidding as I would expect

Is everyone wanting for the last couple of days?? I know there are a few I absolutely love but I won't give my bidding name away

And I know lots of people of traveling so you can get your mares to these great stallions very reasonably

And what a pretty trophy to have on your table or fireplace!!!!

I have a question. Can you have someone else show the foal at nationals? I would like to bid but I dont think I would be able to make it to nationals to show the foal.

Can you have someone else show the foal at nationals?

Absolutely. This is NOT a 'bred-owned-shown by' class. You can have anyone handle the foal in that class.

In fact, if the mare owner wants to sell the mare, the new owner (or their handler) can show the resulting baby, as long as the amount bid has been paid to the Sweepstakes, and as long as the mare is DNA'd before Dec. 1.

 

[Alisha514]

Ok. Thanks, is it absolutly nessesary to show the resulting foal at nationals? Im worried that by next yr I may find out I cant make it to nationals or can't find someone to show the foal.

No - there is no requirement that you must show the foal at the 2010 Nationals. However, for some of these stallions this is the ONLY way you can have your mare bred to them....some of them do not stand to outside mares EXCEPT for this Sweepstakes Auction. So....you come out a winner even if you don't show it!
