The Northeast NSH Yearling Sweepstakes 2003

The Northeast NSH Yearling Sweepstakes program is established to encourage production of National Show Horses and to reward the owners of LIfetime Nominated Sires whose services are donated and the owners of foals by those stallions.

Owners of all Lifetime Nominated Sires are invited to donate a service to their stallion(s).

Bidding for the services, starting at $300, will begin in October 2003, immediately after the publication of the roster of participating stallions and continue through the end of 2003, at which time the highest bidders will prevail and have one week in which to pay for the breeding or forfeit to the next highest bidder. Services not sold by December 31, 2003, will be sold to the first person paying $300 for the breeding by March 31, 2004.

Prize Money and Eligibility to Show in 2006

1. AUCTION GET: NSHs produced from the 2003 Auction purchase and born in 2005 are eligible to show their yearling year, 2006, in the Northeast NSH Yearling Sweepstakes class. Prize money for these yearlings (less administration costs and a maximum of 20% for promotion) will consist of (a.) all Auction income plus (b.) all income from the purchase of eligibility for NON-AUCTION GET (see 2.)
2. NON-AUCTION GET: Also eligible for the 2006 class, for a fee of $300, are other yearlings born in 2005 sired by an Auction stallion whose services sold, but the breeding was not purchased through the Auction. Prize money for these yearlings will be one half of the amount that AUCTION GET yearlings will win.
3. STALLION OWNER'S GET: The stallion owner, if his donated breeding sells (even to himself), may enter one offspring of his own breeding by that stallion, and it will be eligible for winnings as listed in 1., above. Additional yearlings by that stallion and belonging to the stallion owner will be eligible for winnings as listed in 2.

Breedings for any of the above named GET type, as well as the resulting foals, may be sold with the same prize money availability as long as all conditions and deadlines of these rules are met.

The Sweepstakes Chairman must be informed in writing by the end of 2004 of what mare has been bred to produce AUCTION GET. Failure to do so will result in the foal's being eligible for prize money only in the amount paid to NON AUCTION GET. The Chairman does not need to be informed of breedings purchased or mares bred to produce NON AUCTION GET.

In the case of a mare not producing a live foal in 2005 from an AUCTION GET breeding, that mare or a substitute mare may be bred again to the same stallion in 2005 (stallion contract permitting), and the 2006 foal will be eligible for the 2007 auction with prize money the same as what that 2006 placing would have paid or the 2007 placing's amount, whichever is less.The Sweepstakes Chairman must be informed by the end of 2005 if the original breeding did not produce a live foal and of mare being used for rebreeding.

While the Sweepstakes Chairman will make every attempt to inform breeders of deadlines and show dates, it is solely the responsibility of the breeder and GET owner to keep current on such deadlines and dates and to keep the Chairman informed as to any change in contact information or ownership.

NSH-NE makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, in any way relating to the stallion services being auctioned. Although NSH-NE will receive the proceeds of a successful bid, the stallion service contract is between the stallion owner and the successful bidder. NSH-NE is not a party to this contract.

Bidders should be advised that a successful bid creates a legally binding obligation to pay for the stallion service purchased. Bids in $50 increments will be taken by phone only after a bid card has been received by the Chairman. Bids will be recorded on www.bigtrot.org up until Decembner 20, 2003. Thereafter, inquiries of bid status must be made directly to the Chairman.

The Northeast NSH Yearling Sweepstakes class will be held in New England or at the District Two Championships. The class will be judged in accordance with USAE rules for the NSH Division.
