High Hopes Auction Results

[kaykay]

I was not trying to offend anyone! I am not a big name farm etc.

And I did say that I am sure there were some good horses. Every auction has a mix of great, medicore etc.

Every year spring and fall I see people post prices from this auction and every time people say "oh my prices are way down" "you cant feed them for that" etc etc. Prices have never been great at this auction. I would never use this auctions prices as a guide of the market. You can read the posts yourself right here on LB as it has a pretty good archive of this auctions past prices. Just look how low the prices are in 2007 before the economy went south.

Here are the posts from may 2009

It has been mentioned here that another auction was also on that date and that is true. The other auction has had the first weekend in May for 7 years now and the High Hopes sale moved some reason. We had very good attendance with lots of new faces.

Since I work for the other auction I'm not a liberty to list the sales prices but I can say that we had 62 Lots with only 2 that did not sell, most were mares, I believe only about 6-7 had foals at side, some were due to foal shortly, young mares, very few stallions, and several extremely nice geldings, 1 Jenny, 1 Jack and 2 mini mules. Had several excpetional show horses with proven show records and I belive 3 ASPC horses, 2 mare and 2 young stallions. Prices were about average for the last several years with the high selling horse around $700 and nothing sold for less than $135.00.

I sold 2 mare/foal packages, and a gelding and was a little disappointed in the prices but they did being the average for around here. I also picked up 2 very nice horses--a 2 yr old under 30" filly and a yearling ASPC colt, both who will be in the show ring in the near future if my knee surgeries allow.

I agree with Songcatcher, if you have not been to either of these sales how can you have an opinion on them based upon "around the watercooler" conversations. I have attended both sales for years and believe both have very good well attended sales. It is a shame that some consignors do not take the time to present the animal in a good light--clean, clipped (head & necked at the least) and expect high outcomes. It does not take that much time to clip or at the least give the animal a bath and a bridle path and presented clean.

If an animal is a little underweight I don't hold judgement as each animal is an individual--that animal may be an older animal or a broodmare that just weaned a foal--in saying that I would like to know the reason behind the lightweight if there is one -- bottom line is it could be the owner can no longer afford to care for the horse--therefore it is better to sell underweight then let them stay on the place and starve to death even though we do not like to see it.

I have to TOTALLY AGREE with Songcatcher's description of the High Hopes Sales. I have been going there for many years and it is a VERY well run sale. Gene and Nancy Williams are completely professional and honest. There are always nice horses there if you just do your homework. Maybe some of them aren't well presented, clipped, groomed, etc. but as a buyer who does their homework, that sometimes makes the deal even better. Many very well known pedigrees from show horses and big name farms are in a lot of the horses at the High Hopes Sales. I have bought many very nice mares there who have had beautiful babies for me for years and I bought them at really affordable prices. I for one am glad they don't put it online because that means only those of us who go get the great deals.

Another thing, I have also been to lots of different horse sales and auctions and I can honestly say that the High Hopes Sale is the ONLY sale I have EVER been to where the bids don't get run up. Gene and Nancy run a very honest, professional sale. Not only that, your paperwork on the horses is always correct, and if there is some problem they will help to get it fixed.

Prices on all breeds of horses are very low right now because the economy is down, people are out of work, etc. And let's face it, horses are a luxury for most people. So naturally they are one of the first things to go when times get financially tough. Unfortunately, many people are having to get rid of their miniature horses right now even if that means selling them for extremely low prices at sales so they don't have to continue the expense of their upkeep. For those of us who can afford to hang in there until these bad times are over, that means we can now buy quality horses, with good pedigrees, at really low prices - even if that is at a horse sale.

I don't know the people who run it and have never been to the auction. I also don't know Kaykay. But I've been to plenty of auctions: macon, world sale, little king, reeces to name a few. And I would have to say that bases on public postings of prices over the last few years and the comments posted with those prices from people who were there, Kay didn't misrepresent anything. She also wasn't bashing the people that run this auction, at least I didn't read it that way.

In 2007, there were no quality horses to be found for $250 or $300. Horses were selling for 10 times that at auctions. Well, not at macon, unless it was a dwarf.

Thank you so much for understanding what I was trying to say. I think due to sleep deprivation I am not putting my thoughts out clearly in type.

I was not trying to offend anyone! I am not a big name farm etc.

And I did say that I am sure there were some good horses. Every auction has a mix of great, medicore etc.

Every year spring and fall I see people post prices from this auction and every time people say "oh my prices are way down" "you cant feed them for that" etc etc. Prices have never been great at this auction. I would never use this auctions prices as a guide of the market. You can read the posts yourself right here on LB as it has a pretty good archive of this auctions past prices. Just look how low the prices are in 2007 before the economy went south.

OK - from someone VERY far from OK - and will probably never see this auction... comments and observations.

While it "might" be true that this isn't a great auction (I have NO idea). Just from comparing the prior year's auction results - 07-09' it is OBVIOUS that prices have dropped substantially.

While at the time (07') the prices might not have been seemed great - they're higher than the last sale. Individually and overall.

Average price for 07' = $450-475 (both sales)

Average price for 08' = $440

Average price for 09' = $410

Last Sale average = $260

Those are some very, very low prices! I hope some people see they can find minis for dirt cheap rather than breed a mare...

I did chuckle a bit at the edited names "WAcrapAS" I didn't figure it out at first. WAcrapAS is just funny to me

Which horse was that? I have a horse from that farm. I have to put spaces between the letters on my avatar for him.

Sorry, I jsut looked at the list again and that horse has "Little" in front. Not the same farm.
