They try to please the buyer and seller but if you’re sitting there with any intention you could be there all night. They will give the buyer five mins to decide if they will go up another $100 and then give the seller five mins if the horse has hit a reserve they are happy with. They do not go in order. They won’t announce a horse that’s been pulled from the sale EVEN IF it’s one they used as a huge draw to the sale. Several great quality horses, but a lot of flipping camp horses going on.

Several people tried to catch it. But I will be returning for a new horse and hopefully will be able to stay...
Read moreI was in attendance yesterday and found the place overcrowded and poorly organized. There was no traffic or parking control whatsoever and the auction arena and barn was so crowded I was unable to fight my way through the crush of people to get a look at any horses. I wouldn't have been able to bid on a horse anyway. I went around to another entrance and found entrance and exit blocked by a locked metal gate.Younger folks were climbing over it to get in and out but I couldn't. I'll have to go elsewhere to...
