Just around the corner, scheduled for Sunday, January 27, 2013 at the Northern Quest Resort and Casino, the annual Gallop Stallion Service Auction takes place. Once again presented by Rhodes River Ranch, the upcoming auction will mark its 30th year with proceeds to benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Spokane, Washington.
Blazing Hot, Don’t Skip Zip, Hot Ones Only, Hubba Hubba Huntin, Macs Good N Plenty, RL Best Of Sudden, VS Code Red, Born To Be Blazing and Western Gunslinger are some of the stallions that have donated breedings to this amazing cause.
The event will kick off at 12 noon, PST, enabling national and international locations to participate in the bidding. All the stallions will be presented on thirty-foot screens at the event, while internet onlookers will be able to watch the event streamed live to their computers. On screen, they’ll see a flashing toll free number which they can call to speak with one of the Gallop phone operators, and bid on services of any stallion, or vacation packages in the line-up.
This is your opportunity to help families in crisis who need to be with their child in a hospital. 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.
The Gallop Annual Charity Auction is rated as one of the best in the country and features the most impressive lineup ever. Nearly half of the lineup is two-time World Champions, while others are five times or more World Champions. Many of you will recognize their names, as they are leading sires of their breed, producing World and Reserve World Champion offspring. You will have the opportunity to purchase services to some of the finest Halter, Western Pleasure, Hunt Seat, Working Cow, Cutting, and Reining stallions in the world!
The non-service packages in Gallop’s Auction will be just as outstanding as the breeding services offered! Non-service packages are auctioned off in between breeding services. They allow many in the Equine Industry (or not), an opportunity to support and participate who may not have mares to breed, or any horses at all. These packages will continue to be added up through the last week prior to the auction, so keep checking back on the website for additional added packages.
Here are some of the packages to date: a 2 night, 3 day All-Inclusive Five-Star Resort vacation at the Resort at Paws Up in Montana. Rated third in the world for five star resorts! A 1 night, 2 day all-inclusive Dude Ranch vacation at K-Diamond-K Guest Ranch located in Republic, Washington.
You can be a part of the RMHC family. You can make a direct impact on the life of a child today. Ronald McDonald House Charities of Spokane looks forward to seeing you all at the Gallop Stallion Service Auction on Sunday, January 27, 12 noon for a “Fun-raising” event.
