Harriston Sale today

[copperwood farm]

I was supposed to go to the sale today, but some things came up here. How did the sale go??????????????

 

[Genie]

I think Ruth would have been fairly satisfied.

I figured she averaged 1000.00 per horse and there were quite a few stud colts and yearlings in the sale.

We purchased Lot #5 for 3000.00. Black mare and pinto filly foal.

I am so glad the sale went well........well done on the mare!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Genie]

Thank you. The mare is very sweet and the babe is a "Spark Plug". I asked Ruth if I could name the babe because I would like to call her "Brians Song".

If she has done the paperwork it's okay, but I would like the remembrance name, for Ruth's hubby.

I couldn't get over some of the prices on the unregistered horses!! $950 for an unregistered yearling filly!!

Shocked about the price of the one cart that was sold too-we bought the same cart (basic metal easy entry) earlier this spring for under $400 sold for almost $900!!

The Sammons' horses averaged $1099.

All in all, I think they made out pretty well.

 

[Devon]

Wow those are high prices! Good for them!

 

[JWC sr.]

Some nice horses in that sale that I expected to bring more than they did. Some of the buyers got some really nice horses at very reasonable prices in comparison to what we are seeing in Texas right now.

I personally thought that Ruth did a fabulous job prepping all those horses for a sale when weather does not permit much clipping.

THey all looked great and some very nice pedigrees. They were well groomed and easy to handle.

The auctioneer made a comment at the start of the sale which I felt could be a problem for Ruth, however I think the prices turned out to be fairly good for a market seems to be waning.(sp?)

Does anyone know who bought Quarterscales Plain Jane??

 

[Genie]

I think she may have gone to Quebec buyers

I checked the book and it wasn't Quebec buyers I don't think, as it was #90 who purchased her and Quebec buyers were #13.

She was a very pretty little horse.

Are you sure that #13 were Quebec buyers? I had a theory going as to who they (#13) were and that would blow it apart.

That's what our group thought...they were paying when I did and it was over 10000.00. I didn't know the lady.

 

[SHANA]

Does it have the names of the buyers?? I know Brigitte Simoneau of BBS Miniatures in Quebec buys a lot at the Harriston sales. She is from Quebec, near Drummondville. I am interested in knowing who bought Plain Jane as I have her daughters.

 

[SHANA]

The Quebec buyers are probably Heinz Santchi and his family. He lives not to far from me and runs a huge holstein dairy farm.
