Hello pony people
The taylor pony farm sale was fun this year, first time going for me. It wasnt to far of a drive so i headed up myself so i could take a look around and then dad drove up so he could provide the money when needed later on. Left here around 10am and got their around 11am, left the sale at around 5:30 and just got back home a bit ago, i made some new pony friends at the sale and stopped at there farm on the way home. All I have to say, WOW! Some of the horses i thought would easily hit $10,000 only brought about $500 and the ones i thought would only bring about $900 went for $4,000. Sheesh, shows you what i know lol. The phone bids were coming in like crazy, i would say 75% of the buyers were phone bidders. The tack sale was AMAZING! We came back with a set of basically BRAND NEW Double K Clippers for $170 :new_shocked:, 5 Brand New blades for $10/each, 4 free dull ones (that you doc, what a nice man
, a ton of leather shetland show bridles/halter some of which im going to clean up and keep ..others i will prob sell. A BEAUTIFUL Show Cart sold for $900. That was deffently the place to be for tack and equipment this year!!!!!
Very nice weather to, not only did i come back with a ton of tack but also one heck of a sunburn, im going to be feeling this in the morning lol. I was only interested in two fillys, both went for a little over $2,000 which suprised me and i didnt get a chance to bid bc the people on the phones just would have kept going until they got their darn horse, they were pretty persistant lol. Some of the moderns went low and i was tempted but i kept my number zipped in my purse, i held strong lol.
Now onto the horses, all were lovely and presented so well. I am pretty sure i got all the prices correct, i did miss a few because i was chatting. Okay done chatting. The horses didnt go through the sale in this order, they were all switched up and moved around but i'll put them back in order to make it easier. Pics/more info can be seen of them at www.taylorponyfarm.com. Some AWSOME movers today too, might i add!!!!!! If this was my sale and my horses, i would not have let some of these horses go at those prices ..especially some of them stallions. The first couple horses i said 'he is going to no sale them' but nope, he let them go. Eventually i figured out no matter what he was letting them go ...

Good Sale, going back next year ...and the year after that and so on. Maybe will even have some spending cash next year.
Best part of the sale was when they brought one of the Broodmares out who had a 10 day old ASPR Foal at her side and one of the Taylors younger little sons was trying to get the foal away from momma so Doc could show her off a bit and the foal said 'heck with this' and started 'challenging' the taylors kid. Little Taylor started walking away and the colt followed him, the kid walked around the ring about 3 times and the colt followed right behind him (mind you, momma was no where near ...the foal was just blowing momma off) then the little boy started running and the colt ran right behind him. hehe, cutest thing i think i have seen. Highlight of the sale lol. I said 'Look the little modern colt is wanting to show already' LOL. Boy, he was a mover too! I think he was #30's colt.
