ASHA Yearling Sale and Payment Options: What to Know

Updated

The Alberta Standardbred Horse Association (ASHA) website at asha.ab.ca is the main entry point for its annual Yearling Sale, and the site lists two payment-related resources: an e-Transfer payment information page and a fifteen (15) day credit application. The site also publishes a sale catalogue and a 2024 Yearling Sales Catalogue PDF. If you are buying, selling, or just tracking Alberta harness racing, the Yearling Sale section and the payment links are the pages to start with.

What the ASHA Yearling Sale Is

The Yearling Sale is ASHA's annual auction of yearling standardbred horses. The site's navigation places it alongside breeding, stallions, foals, and mares, which reflects its role in the Alberta breeding and racing cycle: breeders offer young horses, and buyers acquire them ahead of their racing careers.

The homepage carries the heading "AHSA 2024 YEARLING SALE!" and links to a "2024 YEARLING SALES CATALOGUE" PDF, so the catalogue is the primary document for browsing sale entries. Note the site uses both "ASHA" and "AHSA" in its own text.

Payment Options Listed on the Site

ASHA's site points to two payment paths:

  • e-Transfer — the "e-TRANSFER PAYMENT INFORMATION" link leads to a dedicated payment information page. Use it to find the details needed to send an e-Transfer.
  • Fifteen (15) day credit application — a PDF form for buyers who want short-term credit terms. The name indicates a 15-day term; the form itself is where the conditions would be stated.

The site does not publish fees, sale prices, or eligibility rules for credit on the pages captured here. Treat the linked pages and PDFs as the authoritative source for amounts and terms rather than assuming them.

Related ASHA Resources

Beyond the sale, the site links to a race calendar and events, a stakes guide and stakes eligibility, ABSS Super Finals, "Horse Racing Alberta," "Track On 2," and off-track betting locations. For anyone new to the sport, the "Harness Racing 101" and "Learn to Wager" pages sit under the guide section, and ASHA memberships and the annual general meeting are listed separately.

Common Questions

Is the catalogue free to view? The site presents it as a linked PDF; no price or login requirement is stated on the pages captured here.

Can I pay by e-Transfer only? The site lists e-Transfer information and a credit application. Other methods are not described in the material available, so confirm directly with ASHA if you need an alternative.
