Please read the terms and conditions below carefully prior to bidding. The following is not intended to discourage anyone from participating, but to ensure a safe and fun bidding process for everyone involved.
The CCRCHA’s 2021 Stallion Auction ends promptly on Saturday, February 13th, 2021 at 6:00PM PST.
REGISTERING is easy and free, click on REGISTER (in the navigation bar above) and fill in those 4 fields, hit SUBMIT, and you’re a registered bidder, ready to go!
***NEW FOR 2021*** We have implemented Watchlists (allowing you to watch selected auctions without/prior to bidding); My Bids (which allows you to see all of the auctions you are participating in, their current status and end result. You will find WON AUCTION information here, clicking on PAY NOW will generate an invoice and order number.); Proxy Bidding (when you bid, you are able to enter your MAXIMUM bid, and the system will automatically increase your bids by $100 against other bidders to keep you in the lead, up to your maximum bid. You can also increase your maximum bid at any time, without worrying about out-bidding yourself. NOTE: When Proxy Bidding is in effect, it can appear as if one bidder has beat another bidder with the same bid amount. This is normal and occurs when a bidder has a proxy bid in effect and a second bidder comes along and makes their bid at the exact same amount the current proxy bid is at. Since the proxy bid was placed earlier, that is the bid that will succeed. For the second bidder to succeed in placing a bid, they must bid higher than the proxy bid that is in effect.)
