THE BIDDING IS OVER!! OUR 16th ANNUAL STALLION SERVICE AUCTION THAT WAS HELD ON-LINE WAS A HUGE SUCCESS. If you missed out, you may still get a good deal on a breeding that didn't sell during the auction. For information on how you can purchase a breeding, please contact Bob or Kay Weeks at 509-522-1929 or email luckyw@bmi.net or Norma Kelly at 509-525-6177 or email froghollow@columbiainet.com.
Be sure to look at and acknowledge the REFERENCE SIRES as well. The owners may have some colts for sale by their stallions that will be eligible for the special Incentive Purses just like those in the auction!!
The Valley Girls' Stallion Incentive Program is the longest running barrel incentive program in the US. Started in 1992, we have continued to increase our added money each year while promoting stallions and their offspring. As of February 2, 2008, the minimum amount raised from our stallion service auction is over $53,000. This money will be divided among purses for the riders, owners and open futurity. With the open futurity purse at $15,000, those contestants in the 2008 Barrel Daze Futurity that are riding Incentive colts can be running for added purse money of over $30,000.
A BIG Thanks to all the stallion owners who have made this program successful for the past 16 years!
