vi.      Active bidding on all the horses listed in the catalogue will open from Wednesday November 4th 2026.

vii.     The collection has been divided into 2 groups of 11/12 horses each, in the same order as the printed and online Callaho catalogue.

viii.    Bidding on each group of horses will close, one group per evening, over two evenings from Friday 6th of November until Saturday evening 7th of November 2026.

ix.      Bidding on individual horses in each evening’s group will close sequentially, one lot at a time, every 10 minutes, from 6:30pm onwards. The auction will thus continue every evening for approximately 2 to 3 hours until bidding closes on the last horse for the evening, sometime after 8pm.

xii.      Once your offer has been counter bid, you will get an email notification that you have been counterbid and have the option to bid again. The horse’s profile block will return to white.

xiii.     Bidding on riding horses will start at R100 000. 

xiv.     Once a bid has been entered online, it cannot be withdrawn.
