Michigan Rd * Shelbyville, IN 46176 Be sure to visit the ITOBA website at ITOBA.com Be sure to Like & Follow ITOBA on Facebook! ************************************************************************************ Horse Auctions USA is so pleased to be a part of this event!  Welcome to the LIVE sale online bidding platform for Saturday October 11th. Following the yearling sale will be the paddock sale. Remote consignments will be sold on video as well!  General Sale Information: William Austin Nicks (502) 648-0538 Online Bidding Information: Bridget Lavigne (336) 904-8903 Listings here on the Horse Auctions USA website will populate and be complete by October 1st. Check back often! Here on this online bidding platform, you can watch and bid live just as if you were with us in person!  You will have listings available to you ahead of time, you’ll know the hip number of your favorites and the order they will sell in. This will make it easier for our online bidders to participate and hopefully get the horse(s) they have their eyes on! Horses will be added throughout the weeks leading up to the sale and Hip Numbers/Selling Order will finalize once consignments close. Check back often! At sale time, you'll have REAL TIME video & audio and bid buttons available to you and you can join us from anywhere in the world with a reliable internet or cellular connection!   Prior to the live sale, early absentee bidding becomes available to you! This works much like ebay for those of you familiar with that. You can place your maximum bid ahead of time and the computer will then act as your agent at sale time, bidding on your behalf by minimum increments to keep you in the lead. This option is useful for those of you with poor internet/cell service at home, those who are unable to watch live for any reason, and also for you folks who find the fast pace of a live auction to be intimidating. PLEASE NOTE that if you place an early absentee bid and that animal comes into the ring with an announcement that changes the information that was available to you when you placed your bid (i.e. the horse cribs but that was not disclosed in the listing) we will NOT honor your pre-bid for your protection. We want you to bid with the most accurate information available! For those of you who prefer to watch and bid live, you’ll have real time audio/video available to you at sale time! Make sure you have registered to bid, are logged in, and then hit the “View Live” button on the live feed!  You’ll be good to go and can participate just as if you were here in person! For those of you using an iPhone or iPad, we do recommend downloading the Horse Auctions USA app for the best bidding experience! It is available FREE to download from the App Store!  If you are using an Android device or prefer to use your computer, you can bid on our website at bid.horseauctionsusa.com   While the site will work with most browsers, we do recommend using Google Chrome. You will need to register with a credit/debit card in order to bid online. Please note that a pre-authorization for $1000 will be placed on your registered card. This is NOT a charge, just an authorization to verify you are indeed a real person with a real card and is a good faith hold to allow you to bid. It will show up in your mobile banking as a "pending" charge but it will never complete. This authorization will fall off once the sale is complete and any purchases you have made are paid for. Winning bidders will make final payment for all purchases directly to the ITOBA Yearling Sale Office & Nicks Auction Service. Read the Auction Terms & Conditions when you register! You are bound by them whether you actually read them or not so take a moment to get familiar with them! Winning bidders will be contacted by the sales office to confirm preferred payment method and pickup arrangements!  If you need any assistance with online bidding or have any questions pertaining to it, please call/text Bridget at (336) 904-8903 or Shada (620) 314-3758.  Please be sure to do so BEFORE we start the live horse sale. Once we start, we are on the auction block and answering the phone is virtually impossible. Register BEFORE the sale so we can assist you with anything you might need! Good Luck & Happy Bidding!
