The Stallion Incentive Program was developed to promote the Barrel Daze Futurity and Maturity held the second weekend of April in Walla Walla, Washington by the Valley Girls Barrel Racing Association. The Annual Stallion Service Auction runs January 2nd through February 5th each year and will be held over the internet.

The Auction will be advertised in horse publications and on the internet. All stallions shall be listed on the VGBRA Web site. www.vgbra.org

**VGBRA is NOT responsible for the information provided by the stallion owner for advertising on this site. It is highly suggested that you thoroughly research the stallion(s) you are interested in bidding on.**

  1. New stallions will be accepted until December 1st (30 days prior to the start of the auction). No stallions located outside the United States or Canada will be accepted into the program.
  2. Stallion services will be sold at auction to the highest bidder. Stallion owners who choose to list their stallion(s) as a Reference Sire will pay ½ their current advertised fee not to exceed our maximum cap of $1000. If a stallion’s service does not sell through the auction the stallion owner will be required to pay the”guarantee amount” ($300 minimum to $1000 maximum). The bidding will start at one-half the annual advertised fee or $300.00, whichever is greater. Stallion owner/farm may require special breeding requirements. Mare care, vet fees and chute/ farm fees are extra and are not included in the auction bid. The highest bidder is responsible for these costs.
  3. The successful bidder of a stallion service must use the breeding during the current breeding season. All fees associated with boarding, mare care, collection, shipped semen charges and chute/farm fees are between the successful bidder and the stallion owners. The VGBRA is not responsible for any other business conducted between the stallion owner and the purchaser of the breeding and once the contract is signed between purchaser and stallion owner our (VGBRA) responsibility ends. No refunds.
  4. The mare owner shall make all necessary arrangements with the stallion owner as to when the mare will arrive for breeding or make arrangements for the shipping of semen. Stallion owners have the right to refuse any mare. Mare owner must make the mare available for breeding during the stallion owner’s normal breeding season or may risk forfeiture of all monies paid and breeding rights. Mare must be halter broke and fit for breeding.
  5. In the event that death should occur to a stallion or he becomes permanently non-serviceable before the mare is bred, the stallion service auction fee shall be refunded to buyer. If a stallion is sold or leased before mare is settled in foal, contract is still binding unless stallion moves outside a five hundred (500) mile radius from the original advertised location or the new buyer refuses to honor the contract. In such case, the purchaser of the service may have the option to request a refund.
