DATES: September 22-24, 2022
OFFERING: Fifteen broke saddle horses and 2 bred broodmares
WHERE: Online only! To register to bid, or to participate when the bidding opens on September 22, ENTER THE ONLINE AUCTION PLATFORM HERE. All horse information is listed here on our Fall Sale Horse page.
FORMAT: Timed-out auction, also known as a silent auction. There will be no auctioneer or live event, the horses will simply be available to bid on online from the opening date to the closing date!
Bidding will open at 7:00 AM MDT on Thursday, September 22nd, 2022 and will remain open until the first lot closes beginning at 12:00 noon MDT on Saturday, September 24th, 2022. Buyers may register to bid on our website and either manually enter a new bid any time they wish to bid against competitors, or enter their maximum bid and allow the system to automatically represent their bid against competitors, up to the point that their maximum amount has been reached.
Bidding on each horse will close at 20 minute intervals, known as a “staggered close” system. If active bidding is still occurring in the final moments before that horse's scheduled close time, a 2-minute bidding extension will be added to that specific horse to allow for counter-bids, until all bidders are finished. 2-minute extensions will continue to be added, until a full 2 minute window without bidding has occurred, at which point the system will close and the horse will sell to the highest bidder.
Once a horse’s bidding closes the sale will be final, so do not risk waiting to adjust your bids until the last minute! If a horse’s predetermined reserve price is not met, the horse will not be sold. If the current bid does not meet the reserve price, bidders will see a notification on the bidding screen.
TUTORIAL VIDEOS SHOWING HOW TO REGISTER TO BID AND HOW TO USE THE ONLINE BIDDING SYSTEM ARE AVAILABLE HERE.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY: Every horse will be backed with our confidence via the Diamond-McNabb Good-Fit Guarantee (see terms & conditions below). However, as a prospective internet buyer, it is YOUR responsibility to personally contact us in advance of the sale and do your best to ensure that a horse is a good fit before you bid. Every horse is different, and just because it is in our program does not mean that it fits you. Our goal is to help each customer find the horse of THEIR dreams, so pick up the phone or shoot us an email, and let us help you navigate the long-distance shopping process!
GUARANTEES: All horses will sell with a 72-hour soundness guarantee as described in the Terms & Conditions of the sale (below). All horses will also sell with our Diamond-McNabb 30-Day Good-Fit Guarantee, as described in the Terms & Conditions of the sale.
TRANSPORTATION: Transportation of horses is the responsibility of the buyer. Diamond-McNabb will keep horses free of charge for two weeks following the Fall sale, and can keep them longer for a daily boarding fee, if space allows. Please note that Diamond-McNabb is not liable for sold horses, as full liability for the horse transfers to the buyer at the time of the auction’s close.
