Demand Still Strong for Show Horses
ARDMORE, OK — The Marketplace at Ardmore, a consignment auction for performance horses, held its third sale of the year on November 5, at the Hardy Murphy Coliseum in Ardmore, OK.
When asked to comment on the trend for her sales this year, sale manager Susie Reed was quick to respond with, “Show horses.” She continued, “We saw a good demand for them last spring and gauging by the calls I got leading up to this fall sale, I could pretty much predict that the trained prospects and seasoned show horses would do well.”
That assumption proved to be the case with Denim And Curls, NCHA earner of $46,154, topping the sale at $30,000. This 2004 blue roan mare by Pretty Boy Boon out of Lenas Galmour Doll was consigned by Sunny White and purchased by Cynthia Harr.
Second highest seller, a yearling filly by High Brow Cat and out of Hagandaz, sold for $19,500. Stylish Red Feather, a trained cutting horse by Cats Red Feather and out of Stylish Pepper, was the third highest seller, bringing $18,000. This 6-year old, consigned by Chris Cox, sold to Ronnie Pruitt.
The top 10 head averaged $13,900, the top 20 averaged $9,750 and the overall average was $3,732.
The next Marketplace at Ardmore Sale will be held on Saturday, January 7 at Hardy Murphy Coliseum and consignments are now being accepted. For more information, contact Susie Reed, 580-276-4830, cell 580-490-1103, or visit the website: www.themarketplaceatardmore.com
