Superior Sweepstakes Announced
Monday, October 26, 2020
The Directors of the Superior Morgan Sale are pleased to introduce a new program for their 2020 sale and beyond! The Superior Sale has become the largest event of the year for the Amish Morgan breeding community, and the team is building an event fitting of that setting. This November, they will be launching the Superior Sweepstakes. The goal is to make this the most lucrative program for all Morgan breeders, Amish and English alike! With over 80 stallions already entered, they are well on their way to achieving that goal.
All Morgan stallions are invited to donate a service to this year’s service auction, which will be held November 20th at the Superior Morgan Sale at the Michiana Event Center in Shipshewana, Indiana. All of the money raised at the service auction will be pooled together and paid out in the 2022 Superior Weanling Sweepstakes. The goal for the first year is to pay out over $60,000 in prize money in one class! And that’s just in Year One!! But you have to get in it to win it! Only two foals by each stallion will be eligible: one produced by the winning bidder in the auction, and the other produced by the stallion owner.
Here are the benefits to the Morgan Stallion Owner:
1. Promotion of your stallion on one of the biggest stages in all of the Morgan world. (Over 2,000 Morgan enthusiasts attend the Superior Sale every year).
2. As the stallion owner, a stallion service donation secures a nomination for one of your own weanlings to compete in the Superior Weanling Sweepstakes!
3. Become a part of the team working to drive the Morgan industry forward, creating even better show horses and marketing opportunities for the future!
More and more over the last few years, the Amish and English communities have been coming together through their mutual love and respect for the Morgan Horse. This event will be a huge leap forward, as Amish and English Morgan breeders will compete for a HUGE prize purse and then stand side by side to bid on some of the top Morgan horses in the country at the Superior Morgan Sale.
Do not miss out! The donation of one stallion service could come back to you as the winner’s check in one of the biggest money Morgan classes in history!
Stallion service donations will be accepted all the way up to November 2 to accommodate as many stallions as possible for our first year. An application form is also available at http://ampshowservices.com/documents/SuperiorStallionApplication.pdf.
This year’s Superior Morgan Sale will be streamed live by Richfield Video, so follow along online to watch Morgan History in the making!
