This year’s Gallop Auction is offering an incredible lineup of stallions from all over the United States with breeding fees ranging from $750 to $5600 per service. This year’s lineup includes Congress and National Champions and World and Reserve World Champions. Nearly half of the lineup is Two-Time World or Reserve World Champions, while many are Leading Sires in the Industry including: VS Flatline, VS Code Red, Machine Made, Hubba Hubba Huntin, Dont Skip Zip, Potential Career, Hot Ones Only, Extremely Hot Chips, John Simon, and Blazing Hot.
The event opens Sunday, January 31st at 11am, with the Opening Ceremony at 12 Noon. As well as bidding at the event, live-streaming of the entire auction can be viewed online at www.GallopAuction.com. This will allow for national and international bidding. It will also allow interested parties who cannot personally attend the auction to view and participate via toll-free phone lines.
Just as outstanding as the breeding services are the non-service packages available at the Gallop’s Auction. Non-service packages are auctioned off in between breeding services and they offer many in the equine industry (or not) an opportunity to support and participate. These packages will continue to be added up through the final week prior to the auction, so keep checking back on the website for new additions!
Some of the fantastic packages you can expect at this year’s auction include: a two night, three day all-inclusive Five-Star Resort vacation at the Resort at Paws Up in Montana, rated third in the world for five star resorts; and a one night, two day all-inclusive Dude Ranch vacation at K-Diamond-K Guest Ranch located in Republic, WA
With all of this excitement, don’t forget the primary mission. All net proceeds from the Gallop Stallion Services Auction go to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Spokane, enabling them to continue serving hundreds of families.
Imagine if your child was sick. What would you do if you had to fly to a hospital in a different city far from your home? Would you know where to go? When you arrived at the hospital, where would you put your extra clothes? Where would you shower? Where would you wash your clothes? Who would you turn to for help? These and many other questions are all answered daily by the volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Spokane.
Families are provided temporary lodging, comfort and support while their children are accessing medical services. These basic needs are met while they help their children overcome their medical struggles. The House provides a consistent and caring helping hand, lessening the mental and financial strain on the families. It allows them to focus on the most important thing … supporting their children.
There is no better time to shake that cabin fever. The Gallop Annual Charity Stallion Services Auction and Ronald McDonald House Charities of Spokane look forward to seeing you all on Sunday, January 31, 2016 at the Northern Quest Resort and Casino Family Pavilion. Northern Quest is located at 100 N. Hayford Road, Airway Heights, WA.
