2023 Stallion Service Auction
ICAA will once again be holding its annual stallion service auction. Details will be sent out via email, posted on Facebook, and posted here on the website for the list of stallions and the dates the auction begins and ends. Bidding typically starts in mid-December, so stallion owners, if you want to donate your stallion and he is not yet registered and/or still needs some testing, you may want to get started with the process! Please contact us for help with any of this.
Stallion Owners
You will receive free advertising if you donate your stallion, in addition to receiving a free registration in 2023 or 2024. He will be advertised here on the website, on the ICAA Facebook Auction page, on the ICAA Facebook page, and shared to many Appaloosa groups. You will also be helping ICAA to move forward while still keeping our fees low if your stallion’s service sells. Stallions must be ICAA registered or pending registration and be 6-Panel negative.
Mare Owners
By bidding on our stallions so graciously donated by these stallion owners, you will be receiving the services of a quality stallion that is 6-Panel negative, at a discounted fee, as well as helping keep ICAA’s fees low. You will also receive a free membership.
