Historical Overview of the New York
Morgan Stallion Service Auction…
The first New York Morgan Stallion
Service Auction was held in 1989. The original committee put a group of 29
stallions whose services were offered at that event. After holding the
auction at a American Legion post in Little Falls, NY through the ‘97
Auction, the committee made the move to the Holiday Inn in Syracuse where
the event was held through 2003. The current committee voted to upgrade
the look of the Auction and move to the Prime Hotel in Saratoga Springs,
NY.
From a first payout of $5000 in 1989
for the two NY SSA Sweepstakes Classes, to the payout of over $45,000 in
the three Sweepstakes Classes at the ’09 New York State Morgan Horse Show.
In total, the proceeds collected from the 1989 auction through the 2006
event are in excess of $450,000! To date - actual payouts of
over $250,000 have gone to the Sweepstakes ribbon winners. The highest
total for the history of the Auction to date is just under $70,000 in year
2008.

Originally the SSA Sweepstakes numbered
two. They were 4 year old classes for Park and English Pleasure. In and
effort to give some of the Auction money a quicker payback, the Committee
added a Weanling Class at the 1996 NYSMHS for the foals sired by the ’95
NY SSA services sold, in addition to the two 4 yr. Old performance classes
held in 1999.
In an effort to better address the
current show ring demands, the SSA Committee changed the two 4 year old
Performance Class specs starting at the 2003 NYSMHS. Now, in addition to
the Weanling Class, the classes offered for Sweepstakes eligible horses
are for the Park/English Pleasure/Classic Pleasure horses combined AND the
Hunter/Western/Sport combined.
