Welcome to  13th Annual  Dutch Valley Driving Horse Sale 1877 County Rd. A&D  Platteville, WI Sale Preview- 7am CST Sale- 9am CST General Sale Questions  Kevin Hall- (608) 943-8867 Consignments/Online Bidding – Victoria Shuffler (828) 368-1263 Welcome to the online bidding platform for the Southwest Wisconsin Riding Horse Sale! We are excited to now bring you an online catalog of horses, ponies, mules, and donkeys consigned to the sale! Here on this online bidding platform, you can watch and bid live just as you are here with us in person. However, you will now have listings available to you ahead of time, you’ll know their hip number 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! As soon as a horse, pony, mule, or donkey 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 “Play” 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 WILL NOT pay with this method of payment. You will be paying with a wire transfer! Cash or check at pick up is perfectly acceptable!    Winning bidders will be contacted by the sales office to confirm WIRE TRANSFER information and pickup arrangements!   If you need any assistance with online bidding or have any questions pertaining to it, please call/text Victoria Shuffler at 828-368-1263.  Please be sure to do so BEFORE we start the horse sale and preview on Saturday. Once we start, Victoria is on the auction block and unable to answer calls!  Register BEFORE the sale so we can assist you with anything you might need!

INTERNET BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE! When you register to bid, Horse Auctions USA will place a $500 preauthorization on the credit or debit card that you register with. This is NOT a charge, just a preauthorization. Your mobile banking may send a notification that appears as a charge - AGAIN, it is just a preauthorization. The $500 will show as "pending" and then never complete but rather, will just vanish as if it was never there.  Once the sale is complete, this preauthorization is released for all non-winning bidders. Winning bidders will have the preauthorization lifted once final settlement is made with the auction company. If for any reason you as a winning bidder fail to make final payment to the auction company before the open of business on Monday, you understand that Horse Auctions USA will finalize the $500 preauthorization and remit it to the auction company to be applied to your bill. Further, you understand that Horse Auctions USA will charge your registered card for the full amount due to the auction company for your winning bids. BID RESPONSIBLY and remember, your bid is a legally binding contract! You are responsible for your winning bids.
