The 2021 All American Cup Stallion Showcase and Auction will be held in a socially distant, in-person setting on January 23, 2021. The AAC has announced a return to the lifeblood of the industry by holding the event at an American Saddlebred barn. In honor of two great legends lost this year, Jim Aikman and Dr. Scott Bennett, AAC has announced a return to the training facility that formerly housed Alliance Stud, now home to Lead Way Farm. New owners Andre and Caitlin van Schalkwyk have offered to host the 2021 event, and AAC is excited to get back to what everyone loves the most - show horses, entertainment, and one heck-of-an auction.
In order to provide a COVID-safe environment, AAC has implemented the following precautions to ensure the safety of its guests:
- Attendance will be limited.
- All attendees are required to wear masks while not seated at their tables.
- A temperature check will be administered to all guests prior to entry.
- Hors d'oeuvres and dessert will be provided in a COVID-safe manner, but no full dinner will be provided.
- All tables will be spaced for appropriate distancing per CDC and state guidelines.
- Auction procedures will be modified to ensure proper social distancing requirements.

Tables can be reserved for $600 each. Tables will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.
