My friend who attended his sales has picked up some nice horses in the past - so my reply was not meant to be viewed as critical of his horses (that is what I dislike most about e-mail - things can be taken wrong
) - the purpose of my reply was really to only focus on the fact that "every" year for many years he has advertised by postcard and in the various publications that his sale is a "dispersal sale".
To me, when I attend a dispersal sale, my expectations are different than an annual production sale. I would be very surprised if they completely disperse, as (now this is second hand), last year the story was the same as this year - they were dispersing due to health reasons as well
Have fun and enjoy the sale
