It\’s a Big Deal: Western Performance at Farmfair

\"\"

Farmfair International is one of Canada’s largest agriculture showcases. From November 7-11, Northlands in Edmonton, Alberta fills with over eight halls of western entertainment, including top producing sales, showcases and clinicians. Today Western Horse Review is focusing on what makes Farmfair International so unique for breeders, trainers and enthusiasts of western performance horses. During Farmfair events are held that bolster and boost the equine economy and bring performance horse enthusiasts in by the thousands. So, whether a breeder, trainer, or competitor, how do you get your piece of the Farmfair pie, while showcasing your best up-and-coming bloodstock and prospects? First, you start with the sales.

The two sales offered during Farmfair International are the place to be. Both sales are the premier auction events for performance horses throughout Canada, with deadlines closing October 1st. For breeders of top performance horses across Canada, the Bloodstock Sale is the premier auction and marketing opportunity for yearlings, two-year-olds and three-year-olds. This year, Northlands is only accepting 20 of the above, and the horses that enter the ring will be highly sought after prospects. An exciting pay back for breeders, trainers and owners that enter their horses in the sale is the Northlands Bloodstock Sale Incentive. Horses that enter the sale ring are eligible to return for the added $10,000 Northlands Bloodstock Sale Incentive in subsequent years and can compete in the futurity of their choosing to win back the added money available to all horses, as well as the incentive money available to them.
