As the new chair of the Modern Sweepstakes I would like to take a moment of your time to tell you some exciting new changes we have made to the program, and ask for your participation.

We have designed a new website that has a temporary domain but will turn permanent. On this website you will find all the information on some changes to the program. We have a new committee as well to help assist and better serve you.

We will still continue to have the "Traditional" Sweepstake nomination of the stallion. $ 200 nominates your stallion and gives you a mare entry into the sweepstakes, thus produces an eligible foal into the 2013 sweepstakes class to be held at Congress. A second service will then be added to the auction line up, which may be purchased by the stallion owner as well. The bids start at $ 200 for each stallion.

We have also added a tax deductible nomination. This would give someone who does not want to breed their own mare and show a resulting foal the chance to Donate their stallion to the sweepstakes so that someone else could have the opportunity to breed to your stallion. This method would not cost the Stallion owner a nomination fee, they would instead receive a Tax Deductible donation for the $200, the stallion service would be in the auction. You still have the same rights to choose the mare care fees and any stipulations you would like to apply to the breeding contract. You would not have an entry into foal class should you choose to donate your stallions service. But it would be a great way for someone to promote their stallion if they themselves were not wanting to breed.

The 2011 Auction will be held silent auction bid the duration of the 2011 ASPC Shetland Congress in Des Moines, Ia July 12-16th 2011. The breeding's would take place in the 2012 breeding season and the resulting foals would be exhibited at the 2013 ASPC Shetland Congress. We will also accept mail in bids as well as phone bids during the 5 days of the show.

We would love to have your stallion in the program, we are diligently trying as a strong committee to keep this program going. There have been some wonderful supporters over the years and we are very Thankful to all of you. We don't want to see this program fade and we are going to try whatever we can to strengthen the program.

Please take a moment to view our site and the new rules. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. You can also feel to call me anytime 417-366-2988.

Below you will find a list of the Modern Sweepstakes Committee

Time is of the essence the nominations close July 1st, 2011. The sooner the better as we would like to get the stallions listed online as well.

We are also looking for some sponsorships to offer awards other than Champion.
