Wow, watching the sale made me feel ill. The prices for some really lovely horses were so low. When you think of the time, money and love people put into these horses it is very sad. No wonder it takes so long to sell a horse for a reasonably good price to a good home.

Thanks for posting the link today, Neil
I would have loved to bid on loads of them by phone if my barn was not already full!!
I sure enjoyed getting to watch it, though it was sure sad to see the prices.
And they had all the horses in such tip top condition....just beautiful!!

The horses did look nicer then their photos for the most part. I wish i had went now, some of those 3-in-1 packages went at amazing deals. Will have to go next year, and bring a large trailer
The prices really made my cringe though (because they were TO low, but also because i wasnt there to steal them away at that price lol).
They sold a buckeroo daughter really cheap too
Can someone post the prices - I have some but was so busy today I only caught part of the sale. The prices were way too low - very scary - not a good thing for the miniature horse market. I wish I could have watched the whole sale - and I am kicking myself for not getting a bidders number - but there were many people that got totally amazing deals!!!!!!!!

We are down here in Shipsy for the sale. Sat through all 100 horses tonight, and I must say it was
very sad how low the prices were. It was definitely a buyer's market tonight.
We sat on our hands and didn't buy anything, although there were many temptations. We drove the Mustang convertible down so we couldn't bring anything home with us.
The sale was very well run, the horses were presented well, and I think everybody had a good time!
Oh, and Ruffian is NOT going home with an empty trailer tomorrow....ask her which horse she bought!

Thanks for posting the $ amounts! Wow, I love Boozer After Dark so I just don't "get" the prices. I can't believe some of those prices. There sure were some "deals" there!! Wish I could have gone ---I had to babysit my grandkids and couldn't even watch the live feed.

Just got home from the sale. It was a blast! Yes, I did bring something home=my own colt. Taylor Made Senor Destino. I started tearing up
before he even stepped foot inside the ring. So I told hubby we were bringing him home. He cleaned up so beautiful! So now he's going to learn to show and drive.
I did sell my mare, she went to Tammy Streich in La Grange IN.
Yes, the sales were low considering where they were 5-7 years ago, but stop and think --- what would you think if someone told you they were going to the local Wal-Mart and drop $700 to $1000?? Price is relevant - the better horses brought the better prices. Plus the whole horse market is in the gutter, what with hay and grain prices what they are. I think overall they weren't bad. So I would have loved to sell Pebbles for $7000.00, but I got 3 nice foals out of her, so I'm good.
The sale was set up OK - I'd like to see matting or something in the ring, and more bedding in the stalls. One horse went down, as did the gentleman presenting!!! That concrete is just so slippery, even with the sawdust on top. The help was very nice and friendly, Garry is a sweetheart!! The tack did go pretty cheap, and he smiled and said let it go!! They kept the tack sale to 1/2 hour as promised. and started on time or very darn close. Double Diamond had their tack trailer there, and I loaded up on some great deals.
I believe Jay got his After Dark back. I hope so - I think he felt about AD as I do about Taylor
The Buckeroo daughter had never had a foal, and so I think her price reflected that.
There was one tiny little mare that was just adorable - 25 1/2"!!
Some awful nice foals..
I bought 3 mares & Foals, a new EE cart, and a mini saddle (outside the ring)

The mares are going to Germany, the Cart to Tennessee, and the saddle to Saudi Arabia. I LOVE spending other people's money
Christina in Germany is going to be welcoming some beautiful horses to her home!!
But I buy a new show halter for $25.00
I would have loved to have brought Commander home - he is awesome! May still be working on a partnership on him . . .
Crimson was nice also, but I liked Commander better, just personal preference.
