Hubby and I stopped by Fultons horse sale this morning, and saw alot of really really nice horses...alot of color too. We couldn't stay, and I was wondering if anyone went to the sale and how it went...I sure hope he had a great sale...
I didn't get to the preview in the arena, but did get to the sale. It looked pretty hot to me. Lot 28, FRENCH STREAKTOVEGAS, a bay roan 2007 stallion by A STREAK OF FLING sold for $31,000. Lot 63, PAC N THE HEAT, a 2002 sorrel gelding by ASHES IN THE FIRE and out of PAC A DEE AA, brought $27,000. These two were the high sellers, but the whole sale did very well.

Another disclaimer: The following sale results do not, and I repeat do not, reflect the real world value of horses.
I sold my grey saddle horse Smokey at a horse sale last Tuesday. Smokey is a nice registered Quarter Horse eight-year-old gelding. I've owned and ridden him for the past four years. He is a well put-together horse, gentle, easy-to-catch, sound, and travels nicely. He will not watch a cow and has not a cowy bone in his body, which is why I sold him and guaranteed him to be that way. :roll: :wink: He topped the market that day at $1500. I was quite happy, considering I had only paid $1100 for him and had only invested four years worth of feed and additional training in him. :roll: Guess some of that could be charged off to "rent" for the use of his labor.
Anyway, just because these horses yesterday sold for big money, don't anyone get your hopes up that all horses are worth this much. :wink:
