A Helmsman Auction is a buyer friendly system that provides an opportunity for interested persons to purchase a stallion service or services at market value without the pressure of a public auction.
Bidders can place bids of their choice on any service, irrespective of order and the Helmsman Auction provides plenty of time to assess each stallion and time to place your bid. Bid's can be made live at the event or online.
There is no pressure to place another bid and you may bid on more than one service at a time. You can regularly check whether your bid still stands or has been overbid. The system is quite flexible and provides purchasers with time to consider another service if a bid has gone beyond their limit. Bid increments are $50
All nominated stallions will be promoted and displayed at the Australian Stock Horse Society National Show on 3rd – 11th March 2017 at AELEC, Tamworth, NSW, 2340.
Bidding Closes THURSDAY 9TH MARCH 2017 - 7.00PM

Helmsman Auction Rules and Regulations • The service must be taken prior to 31st July 2018, otherwise the service will be null and void and no refund will be offered. • Mares may be served a maximum of two cycles and any additional returns must be negotiated between the stallion owner and purchaser. Stallion owners are not obligated to provide further free returns or live foal guarantees for difficult breeders. • In the event of the mare aborting the foal or the foal being stillborn, any returns must be negotiated between the service provider and purchaser. • The mare owner is responsible for ensuring that the mare is free of any contagious diseases and is in normal breeding condition. The mare owner agrees to abide by any delivery conditions imposed by the stallion owner. • Transportation of the mare to and from the premises where the stallion is standing is the responsibility of the purchaser. • Stallion owners will provide a maximum of one weeks free agistment, and any mare remaining at the property where the stallion is standing beyond 14 days will incur agistment fees at a rate negotiated with the stallion owner. • Stallion owners at time of service must be financial Members of The Australian Stock Horse Society and the stallion must be Sire Registered and DNA Recorded with The Australian Stock Horse Society at time of nomination. • During the auction period, the stallion owner may opt to purchase the service and pay the purchase price rather than take an outside mare. • If the stallion dies, is gelded, becomes infertile or unfit for service prior to the service being taken, The Australian Stock Horse Society will refund the full purchase price upon written request and confirmation from the stallion owner. • If the stallion owner dies, goes into liquidation, is not contactable prior to the service being taken, The Australian Stock Horse Society will refund the purchase price upon written request, following an investigation to confirm the circumstances. • If the stallion is sold prior to the service being taken, the stallion owner is liable to refund the purchaser with the purchase price, or ensure that the new owner of the stallion guarantees the service under the same conditions. • If the stallion is standing in a different location to that originally advertised (due to the stallion being sold or the premises being sold) and the new location remains within 500km of the advertised location - one way, direct route, the purchaser will remain responsible for transport of the mare. In the event that the stallion is standing in excess of 500km from the advertised location, the stallion owner and mare owner would need to negotiate a shared agreement for the transport costs in excess of the 500km. • Services may be offered as natural, artificial insemination or both. The type of service offered must be clearly indicated on the stallion’s advertisement, including the general area where the owner will be standing the stallion. • In the event that semen is offered, the stallion owner will determine the number of semen straws provided to enable the mare to be inseminated for two cycles. Any foals resulting from artificial insemination will be required to be DNA tested and sire verified prior to being eligible for ASH registration. • The Australian Stock Horse Society accepts no responsibility for any accident, disease, death or injury to any horse and the stallion owner and the mare owner each indemnify and shall keep indemnified the Society against any claim, action, loss or liability which may be made against or incurred by the Society arising directly or indirectly in relation to the respective service. • The stallion owner is authorised to engage a veterinarian at the mare owner’s expense to perform any service or treatment, as the stallion owner or senior employee of the stallion owner considers necessary and reasonable, at their absolute discretion. • The mare owner on collection of the mare from the premises where the stallion is standing must pay any outstanding veterinarian and/or agistment fees. • The stallion owner has the right to request that the mare owner is to have the mare pregnancy tested within 60 days at the mare owner’s expense. • In relation to matters that may need to be negotiated between the stallion owner and mare owner, the Society will not be involved in the negotiation of these matters or any disputes that may arise in relation to them. • Horse information is based on details provided to The Australian Stock Horse Society by Members for the purpose of the Society’s record keeping.
