WELCOME to our ONLINE BIDDING SITE!

If you're new to bidding online with Horse Auctions USA, go ahead and take a few moments to read through this as you will find most questions answered here!

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!  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! 

As soon as a horse is posted, 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 a mobile device, we do recommend downloading the Horse Auctions USA app for the best bidding experience! It is available FREE to download from the Google Play and App Stores!  If you prefer to use your browser, 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 $500 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. This authorization will fall off once the sale is complete and any purchases you have made are paid for. You DO NOT have to pay for your purchases with this card – cash or check at pick up is perfectly acceptable!  Please be advised that there is a 3.5% processing fee on all card payments. 

Winning bidders should will be contacted by the sale office to confirm preferred payment method and pickup arrangements! 

Horses need to be picked up following the sale. If that timeframe won't work (and we know it won't for some of our out of area bidders) local layover board is available. Dwight Glossip will take any layover horses to his barn nearby for boarding until you or your hauler can pick up. Please contact Dwight at (417) 818-5488 to arrange!


If you need any assistance with online bidding or have any questions pertaining to it, please call/text Bridget at (336) 904-8903.  Whenever possible, please be sure to do so BEFORE we start the horse sale as sometimes attempting to troubleshoot any issues is a challenge in the midst of the live auction!

 

Good luck and Happy Bidding!
