Welcome to the online bidding platform for this exciting new sale!
If you are NEW to our online bidding platform, WELCOME! We are so happy you're here! Please take a moment to read the information below which will help you with the online bidding process. As sale day draws near, we will add a YouTube link to an online bidding video tutorial that will walk you through the registration process and placing bids step by step!
This sale is webcast live with internet bidding through Horse Auctions USA for those who cannot attend in person! You can download the Horse Auctions USA app FREE on your iPhone or iPad, OR, if you prefer to bid from your computer, you may do so through this link: bid.horseauctionsusa.com Google Chrome is the recommended browser if you wish to bid from a computer, however, our platform will work on just about any browser including Edge, Firefox, and Safari.
All internet bidding related questions should be directed to Bridget Lavigne at (336) 904-8903. Calls or texts are welcome. Please bear in mind that we are generally on site at a horse sale somewhere in the country every weekend so strongly recommend texting should your question arise on a weekend as we cannot answer our phones in the midst of a live auction.
This platform allows for both live bidding in real time on sale day, complete with a live feed, as well as absentee bidding! You may place prebids/absentee bids prior to the start of the sale. Prebidding/Early Absentee Bidding becomes available to you when horses are listed!
This is a useful feature if you will be unable to watch live on sale day, have poor cell service/internet connectivity, or just prefer to bid in a relaxed manner without the pressure of a live auction. Pre-bidding works just like eBay! You'll place your maximum bid then sit back and let the computer do the work for you! The computer will only raise your bid incrementally as needed to keep you in the winning position!
PLEASE NOTE that if a horse comes into the ring and an announcement is made or something is visible that was not disclosed in the information that was available to you ahead of time (i.e. - horse is announced to crib, horse is visibly lame, was injured on the trailer, has a large scar that wasn't mentioned, etc) and there are prebids placed on that horse, we WILL NOT honor those prebids for your protection. We want you to bid with confidence and the most accurate information available. No need to send you an unwelcome surprise!
You can increase your maximum bid if needed at any time!
****Please note that horses will initially be listed with placeholder Lot Identification until consignments close and the sale company finalizes the catalog with selling order. Once that happens, the horses' listings here on Horse Auctions USA will update to show final Hip Number/Lot Number and selling order. You may place absentee bids prior to that happening if you wish as your bids will stay with the horse (i.e. - a bid placed while horse's Lot ID is "Sparky" will remain with the horse when his Lot ID changes to Lot 14)
Live Bidding on Sale Day
When we go live at sale time, you can watch in real time with NO delay and bid right from your smart phone or computer, just as if you were with us in person! You'll have real time video & audio with bid buttons so you can bid right along with the folks who are there in person! Please note that we will also be live on sale day on Facebook as well as on YouTube. Those live feeds are for viewing purposes only and you cannot bid on them. Additionally, both of those platforms will have a 15-20 second delay as both Facebook and YouTube "buffer" their feeds. Again, there is NO DELAY here on the bidding platform.
REGISTERING TO BID
Registering to bid is a relatively painless process and only takes a few minutes to do. While we strongly recommend registering BEFORE sale day, you can absolutely register to bid online right in the middle of the auction if you wish. Click "View Auction" beneath Southern States Equine Performace Horse Sale. That will bring up an index of horses consigned to the sale. Beneath each horse's index listing is a prompt that says "Register To Bid" Click on that (under any horse in the sale, doesn't matter which one!) and follow the prompts. You'll need to select "No Account? Sign up here" if you are new to our platform and provide your information.
PLEASE NOTE:
You will need to use a valid debit or credit card to register for online bidding.
Your card WILL NOT be charged upon registration, but it will be authorized for $500 to be sure it is valid. Some mobile banking apps will send you a notification that looks like a charge. DON'T PANIC! We ARE NOT charging you to register as an online bidder - just making sure you are a real person with a working card. This is an unfortunate necessity in this day and time. That preauthorization will NEVER COMPLETE and will fall off like it was never there. It IS NOT a charge! We remove the authorization immediately on our end at the completion of the sale. When it officially falls off on your end is entirely dependent on your bank. You do NOT have to use the card you register with for final payment, and are welcome to pay cash or check at pick up on Saturday or Sunday!
Please be sure to read the TERMS & CONDITIONS of the sale! These are the terms you agree to when you register to bid. Remember, you are bound by them whether you read them or not!
Good luck! Happy Bidding!
We are sure looking forward to a GREAT SALE!

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.
