NYSSA BONUS MONEY AWARD ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS The purpose of the “NYSSA Bonus Money” is to reward the owners of the donated stallions, as well as the buyers of a breeding at the annual NY Stallion Service Auction.

If you would like to donate to this award, please contact the NYSSA Committee at: NYMorganStallionServiceAuction@gmail.com. Donations will be accepted toward this bonus award until September 1, 2025.

The Bonus Money is to be divided equally between the eligible top ten-winning weanlings at the New York Morgan Regional Horse Show. For a weanling to be eligible, the breeding must have been purchased, or donated at the previous year’s NY Stallion Service Auction AND the mare, who is in foal to the stallion donated or purchased MUST be declared by December 31 of the year the stud fee was donated or purchased.

For example, a stallion donated and sold at the 2025 NYSSA, the stallion OWNER must declare a mare in foal to that stallion by 12/31/2025.  The resulting foal if shown at the NY Regional Show’s Sweepstakes places in the top 10, will receive a pro-rated portion of the bonus money at the 2026 horse show. Additionally, the resulting foal from the purchase of that same stallion’s breeding, who declared a mare by 12/31/2025 is also eligible for the bonus money in 2026. The same eligibility requirements apply to the two “Name Your Mare” lots. Website: www.newyorkmorganstallions.com
