Stallion Silent Auction to be held at the 2008 Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic!
With the new two arena format, the Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic and the John Deere Futurity promises to be the best ever... and the most expensive to run!  We need your help more than ever to make it all happen.  Sponsorship may be made in cash, or though donation of a breeding to a stallion.  Every sponsorship helps.

            Last years’ stallion auction was a huge success.  Stallion owners enjoyed the publicity their stallions received including the prominent banners hung in the show arena.  We really appreciate the following stallion owners who have committed 2009 breedings to their stallions for the 2008 Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic Stallion auction:

Stallion services will be auctioned via silent auction during the Ariat Tulsa Reining Classic. Please support the show by bidding high and often! If you cannot attend in person, please send your bid with a friend. We appreciate your support. Thank you!

If you cannot attend the ATRC in person, you may email your bid to Anna King by August 26th at a.king1@hotmail.com. For questions contact Anna King at 918-857-0334. Winning bidders must make payment by September 5, 2008.

To donate a breeding or be a ranch sponsor email Tami Wagman
