Public Inspection - Horses are available for public inspection at the University of Missouri Horse Research and Teaching Farm on November 7^th, 2009 from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm or by appointment. Questions about sale horses can be directed to Marci J. Crosby (573) 884-7836, crosbym@missouri.edu. Prospective bidders are urged to inspect the horses before offering a bid. Bidders not able to attend our sale preview may request copies of all health records and training journals via e-mail.

Bidding Procedure – To bid on a horse, you will first have to register with a username and password by clicking “register”. You can then browse the horses offered for sale, and click on the “make bid” button on the right side of the screen for the horse you want to bid on. Bidding increments are $50.00. On the bid submission form, you will input the maximum bid you want to make (which is kept confidential). While staying at or below your maximum bid price, the program is designed to increase your bid automatically by $50.00 each time you are outbid by another bidder.

The University of Missouri Online Horse Auction closes at 7:00pm on November 12^th, 2009. The University of Missouri will decline any bids made by parties who have defaulted on former purchases, or persons who at the discretion of the University are not responsible bidders, and the University of Missouri’s decision shall be final. To prevent selling horses at or below slaughter price, the University reserves the right to set a "floor price" on each horse. The successful bidder will be notified by telephone and by a formal letter of purchase.

Payment - Purchaser must make payment by a certified or cashier's check made out to “The Curators of the University of Missouri”, in advance of the removal of the horse from University property. If payment is not made within 10 days of notification, the horses shall then become the property of the University and the bid will be considered void.
