There was a mixed sale at Saratoga this past Tuesday, and those of you who follow me on facebook know I was preparing two weanlings for this sale. ...
Meet Quiet Honor '12, sired by Frost Giant
Now meet Day Trading '12
Quiet Honor sold for a mere $2700 at the sale (don't quote me, it was not more than that I know for sure) however, Day Trading sold for $33,000....which in an email from the owner we were informed that......
He sold for over two times the average for the entire sale
The highest price for a Freud weanling by 65%
Tenth highest weanling sale for the entire sale
Second highest NY bred weanling of the entire sale
Not too shabby....
In addition the owner of both of these horses commented: "The consignor...was quick to point out they thought my two weanlings were among the best prepared and mannered at the sale"
Again, not too shabby for my first full sale prep....
I also do some riding for a friend of mine at Stoneleigh Farm - they were the owners of Stevie, and are the current owners of Pidge and Artie (seen on my sale page). Pidge is officially for sale and is proving to be a super little sport pony, she will be a great kids mount and is brave enough to go in any direction with her training. She would be a super pony hunter, or even a little Pony Club or eventing mount......check out her videos below....
