An online auction of stallion nominations is underway to raise funds for equine victims of the Victorian bushfires and Queensland floods.

Conducted by William Inglis and Son, the auction features around 250 nominations or services to 24 different horse breeds, donated by a range of stud farms.

The charity auction website can be accessed via the main Inglis website or directly by going to auction.inglis.com.au.

Proceeds will be donated to Project Hope Horse Welfare Victoria (PHHWV) to assist owners of all types of horses that are still suffering from the effects of the Victorian Bushfires and Queensland Floods.

Many owners are still unable to feed their horses due to barren or drenched paddocks and others no longer have facilities to maintain the safety of their horses.

Many horses still require expensive ongoing medical treatment and others are in need of rugs and shelter as winter approaches.

Stallion owners Tristan Bryan and Heather Studdy conceived the idea for the auction to help the entire equine community.

The majority of services offered are from pleasure and performance breeds such as Arabians, Warmbloods, Quarter Horses and Welsh Ponies.

There are 23 thoroughbred sires represented including Barely A Moment, Undoubtedly, Desert Sun, Tuscanos, Murphy's Blu Boy, Umatilla, Half Hennessy, Brief Truce, Top Marc and Manner Hill.

The close of bids will be staggered by breed, finalising on Friday April 24.
