Auction for Equine Dreams

Once again this year Cottonwood Farm will conduct a stallion service auction at its yearling sale to benefit Equine Dreams, a registered not-for-profit organization that provides free therapeutic riding services for children and adults with physical and/or mental disabilities. Cottonwood’s annual yearling sale is this Sunday, Sept. 10, at its location in Big Rock, Ill., and the auction to benefit Equine Dreams will begin at 11:45 a.m.

Cottonwood will donate one breeding for each of the stallions it stands: Art’s Conquest, Broadway Express, Cole Muffler and Ideal Towne. The auction proceeds will go entirely to Equine Dreams, and are paid directly to Equine Dreams. The winning bidder not only gets a paid breeding fee along with as much as 60 days free board, but also gets a tax deduction.

Cottonwood Farm will provide the stallion service fee and a maximum of 60 days of free board for the mare while she is at Cottonwood Farm—all at no cost to the winning bidder. The mare must be bred at Cottonwood Farm during the normal breeding season which is determined solely by the farm. If the mare fails to produce a live foal in 2006, Cottonwood Farm will offer a one time re-breed for the 2008 season (the re-breed will apply for only one year) under the same terms. If, for any reason, any stallion is unable to breed the mare, Cottonwood Farm will substitute a breeding to one of our other stallions.

Cottonwood Farm does request complete settlement with Equine Dreams on the day of the sale.
