Reichart Celebration Sale August 13, 2010 Tulsa, OK Hunter
Under Saddle Section
All of the horses in this sale are AQHA. Paint, or App registered.
And eligible/entered in the Reichart Futurities and Maturities. Some of these competitions have top prizes
of $50K, and some have added monies that increase their value.
Additionally, most entered in the National Snaffle Bit Assn
competitions, AQHA Incentive Fund, and/or Kentucky Breeding Incentive Fund, that is starting to include online racing betting.
Conformation, breeding, and training seemed to be main considerations, tho not necessarily
in that order. Since AQHA horses show as 2 yo, the yearlings can reflect that additional interest.

THE AMERICAN HUNTER PONY CLASSIC SALE
KENTUCKY
HORSE PARK LEXINGTON,
KENTUCKY USA
www.horseauctions.com
www.horseshowwebcasts.com
See results at PAS site www.horseauctions.com
RESULTS From viewing on Internet:
Sort of "feast or famine" sale. Lots under $5k; many under $10K; however quite a few in 15-40K range. Hi seller
that I saw was $39K for a Welsh gelding. The Polish Warmblood went for about $15K. Many qualified for National Pony
Finals. Many eligible green.
Age not a real issue--ability and suitability prime concerns in each height group, with
breeders well-represented too, esp for Welsh.
Again, schooled horses bought the higher prices--tho some exc buys under $5k for those
starting out or those that know how to bring green or "diamond in the rough" prosects along to top competition.

VIRGINIA HUNTER AND SPORT HORSE SALE
(AND PONIES)
March 20, 2010
Herndon, Virginia
Conducted by Professional Auction Services
The high selling horse was an imported 2004 bay Hanoverian gelding
by Accord that had started his jumping career in Germany. Dam info not available. He has been shown hunter
and jumper in the US and sold for $27,500.oo/USD. He was a very balanced, athletic looking 16.2h horse, and probably
a good buy, especially considering he is just six years old.
Approximately 3/4 of the 100-125 horses and ponies offered were "NO SALES".(sellers
refused to sell at the final bid price).
Clearly, it is a buyer's market, however many sellers were saying "no thanks"
to buyers if the price was not what they thought was sufficient.
Two noteable horses that were "no sales" were a Thoroughbred g. 5yo from Penn.
that had "Class A hunter potential", and a Hanoverian gelding, 04, that was a dressage trained moving into Jr/AmOwner hunter,
sired by Widmark (by Wolkentanz I, by Weltmeyer). Each of these were "no sales" at $18K/usd.
Two excellent Canadian Sport Horses were No Sales at around $8k/usd.
The other Warmbloods and specific Holsteiners were no sales, bidding ending at
$1200-$5000/usd.
Several horses got no bids at all, even tho they started bidding at $250.
The AQHA registered quarterhorses offered were of excellent breeding for
the English and performance divisions--one by World Champion Hunter Luke At Me; another crossbred by Indian Artifacts (paint);
and others by Zippo and Peppy San Badger breeding that can perform--tho interesting for being touted as dressage prospects.
These were bid for very low prices... all no sales at around $1k/usd, one
Appendix gelding for around $3k.
The Arabian crosses--the large pony jumper that had won Championships at Lexington
and other shows, junior horse, ridden bareback in the resell, was no saled at $2900/usd.
The other was a dressage gelding by a *Muscat son (Russian breeding), and out
of a Trakehner mare.
Audio on the video stream was breaking up so do not know if he had papers. Showing
first level dressage and schooling third. Final price was around $1200.oo/usd. Very attractive tall bay. Not
certain if sold.
There were several Draft crosses--mostly with TB; and then some Irish Draught.
These actually did get "good prices" at the sale, between $5k and $7k, however
most were No Sales.
These were very large horses, and "very calm".
TRENDS: started, well schooled and trained out/proven horses get the most interest
and bids.
Tho even these will not be sold for a lower price than the seller thinks is sufficient.
Junior suitable are in demand.
Esp. if "campers".
Ponies were going for basically under $1K.
And most were "No Sales".
One very well bred, classic reg Welsh gelding that was bid to $6k was a "No Sale".
Many mares were offered, most No Sales.
Overall, not very encouraging.
However, the weather on the East Coast has been quite rainy--the Florida sale
had weather delays.
And on sale day an unusual snow storm hit the Midwest.
The sale was delayed in starting by about 2 hours; and while there was not any
online bidding, there was telephone bidding; however towards the end of the sale, the video lagged behind the audio by a horse
or two. Clearly just tranmission problems that were unavoidable.

OCALA MARCH 2010 SALE OF TWO YEAR OLD THOROUGHBREDS
UNDER TACK
Held in Ocala, Florida, USA
Due to the unusual rains, the viewing of breezes and sale had to be postponed
several times during the week, however the sale was completed on March 17, 2010.

March
Select Sale of Two YO under saddle
Day 1—saw
about 100 of the horses, and if this sale is any indication, the Thoroughbred horse business is alive and well.
However,
this was a Select Sale of 2008’s in training; most very well bred racing lines; most Breeders Cup nominated, as well
as other eligibilities, particularly Ocala Breeders Sales races.
Legendary
and current Throroughbred sire names like Afleet Alex, Lemon Drop Kid, Storm Cat, Mr. Prospector, Unbridled Song, AP Indy
abounded; lines back to Mr. Prospector, Storm Cat, Seattle Slew, etc prevelant. As
well as some newcomers with their first and second foal crops like First Samurai (Storm Cat grand get, Tiznow, Tapit, Congrats,
Exchange Rate (Danzig-Northern Dancer), etc. Top mare lines in terms of breeding
and performance.
Top seller
that I saw go through went for $400,000—a colt by the sire of Curlin, a Mr. Prospector son, and out of a granddaughter
of Norther Dancer. He had one of quickest breeze times too. Smart Strike is a leading sire with one of the favorites to win the Kentucky Derby this year.
Quite
a few were over $200K…colts by Lemon Drop Kid, Lion Heart (goes back to
Storm Cat), one by Elusive Quality (sire of Smarty Jones), etc.
Most were
going between $50K and $150K.
A very
few went for 20-30K.
This sale
broadcasts the workouts/breezes from the previous days as well as the sale. All
of the horses were started under saddle.
Full results
will be available at Professional Auction Sales website shortly after the sale: www.horseshowauctions.com
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Day 2
of the sale: lot 171-365.
This certainly
started out as FILLY DAY—top selling horses were fillies going from $525K and many in
between to $200k, and then many in the $200k and above range.
Couple
of the top sellers were from Jerry Bailey Sales Agent 1, presuming the top jockey that is making the transition to selecting
sale horses to condition and promote.
These
included the top selling Filly that went for $525K by the Halo grandson More Than Ready, and out of Meadow Silk. Elegant April 08 filly.
Then several
other fillies that went for $200K+.
The colts
that did well did very well—Hi selling colt for Day 2 was $425K from what I saw on Internet—a chestnut colt by
the Storm Cat son Giants Causeway and out of an Alydar daughter on the dam side. And then a couple for $180K to $350K.
There
were one or two—a couple of low sellers under $10k.
However
some “good buys” in terms of conformation and pedigree under $25K.
However
most horses were way out of that range.
This is
overall good news for the horse business, tho do not have data how this sale compared with previous years yet (forthcoming!!).
The Thoroughbeds
are alive and well in Florida anyway, and represented most of the US and Canada; with breeding from South America and Japan
and Europe include. Mostly for Breeders Cup/Classic nominated that will run next year, as well as the OBS and NTRC races.
Keep in
mind these are 2 yo Thoroughbreds that will not actually compete until 2011, as 3 yo.
“Investments
for the future”….

HORSES UNLIMITED SPORT HORSE AUCTION
Albequerque-Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA
Fall 2009
This sale had approximately 25 European Warmblood horses offered for sale at auction.
Unfortunately, most of them were "no sales, tho will be offered at Private Treaty
after the sale". And most of these seemed to be justified.
However, the pre-sale presentation was quite good in a large indoor arena where
the horses could move out or be turned out to see movement. And the sale presentation was okay--the horses seemed not to have
seen the announcer stand with people in it, and so there was some balking, and some out of the bridle problems with the young
horses. However, for those attending, the facilities were excellent.
The first lots were for breedings to their stallions Pik L (4th at Pan Am Games
and PSG Horse of Year for the American Hanoverian Association in 2006 or so) and Noble Champion. They went for $1000.oo/usd.
The first performance horse was Lot 2, a black Hanoverian mare by Stucchoi that
went for $20,000.oo/usd. She looked like she had a lot of potential--leggy, balanced, good mover.
From there on, there were a lot of horses to be seen, however few sales overall.
There was interested bidding, including phone bidding from California and New York.
Most of the horses were being marketed as dressage horses with a few hunters too
that showed over fences.
For anyone interested, I did put the sale on a DVD and can send you a copy so
you can view it yourself.
There were some potentially good buys for performance potential--one gelding in
particular.
And some good buys were made for some broodmares and younger horses under $7K.

2008 Spring
Fuel costs, grain costs and everything associated with horses seems to be raising
the cost of showing, training and breeding, like many other sports.
Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any end in sight in the immediate future.
While this does seem bleak, there is still a constant demand for and interest
in top quality horses.
Especially horses that are trained or have show experience.
So, the general advice is (I would say continues to be), go for quality, not quantity.
Invest in training in athletic horses.
And work out arrangements for those on the borderline. Half-boards, leases,
and so on can get your horses expenses paid, as well as giving them the care they need, and perhaps some training/experience.
Email me for further info on these alternatives.

2005 WINTER ELITE HANOVERIAN SALE--VERBAND
full story at www.eurodressage.com
April 18, 2005
The top price of 110,000
euro was achieved twice at the 112th Elite Auction of Hanoverian Sport Horses in Verden. The chestnut mare Wolkina, by Wolkentanz
II out of Dancing Queen (Davignon x Weltmeyer), was the price highlight dressage horse. The Hanoverian Verband reported that
Wolkina sold to a "a renowned dressage barn with Olympic quality in Florida,"
but they did not released the name of the new owner.
A very remarkable trend noticeable at this Spring Elite Auction in Verden is that all the top selling horses
are by Oldenburg based stallions and not by Hanoverians: Lordanos, Wolkentanz
II and Sandro Hit.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
According to www.horsenews.com, the winter 2005 Hanoverian sale by the German Verband in Germany resulted in a new record for a mare--140,000 Euros; ($180K
usd and $222K canadian.)
eurodressage.com verifies this and has a full story including:
A jumping fan from Rhineland purchased the mare Grafinia (by Graf top x Narew
xx) for that amount of money and set a new record for the Verden Winter Auction.
87 of the 131 auctioned horses will travel abroad to 13 different countries. The average price for a horse
at the 2005 Hanoverian Winter Auction in Verden was 11,839 euro.

KEENELAND THOROUGHBRED JAN 2005 SALES RESULTS

Press
Release
|
|
Lexington, Ky. (January 15, 2005)
Keeneland’s
January Horses of All Ages Sale ended Saturday afternoon with the third highest gross in the history of the auction.
Keeneland
sold 1,361 horses during the six-day auction for $53,418,000. By comparison, during a five-day sale last year, 1,258 horses
and 2 stallion seasons brought $49,362,600.
This year’s average, $39,249, was up slightly from $39,225 last year
and the median, $13,000, matched the 2004 figure.
“It’s good to go into the breeding season (beginning
in February) on a high note,” said Keeneland’s Director of Sales Geoffrey Russell. “The sale demonstrated
that people have confidence in the market. There was strength at the top and there was strength all the way through.”
Two
horses brought $1 million or more during the sale topped by the $1,350,000 paid for Cozzene’s Angel, the 11-year-old
dam of multiple Grade 1 stakes winner Toccet. She is pregnant to Pulpit.
Eaton Sales, as agent for an undisclosed client,
bought Cozzene’s Angel from Hill ‘n’ Dale Sales Agency, as agent. She is by Cozzene out of Charming Pan,
by Trepan.
It was the first time a horse had been sold for seven figures in January since 2002. A total of 10 horses
brought $500,000 or more during the annual sale of broodmares, yearlings and horses of other ages.
Keeneland sold 165
horses during Saturday’s final session for $1,197,400, an average of $7,257 and a median of $3,500. There was no comparable
session last year.
A 4-year-old filly by Two Punch out of Bayou La Batre brought $80,000 to top the final session.
Vic Hanson bought Two Bayou from the consignment of Brookdale Sales, as agent for Flatbird Stable.
