    I just had a look at what the prices were for the horses sold in the sale. I must say that they are quite low. By the time that these folks pay what it cost them to sell at this sale, they really didn’t get much for their horses. If they got that price at home would not be that great either. Especially with the stud fees on the horses and the costs involved with getting the mares in foal, I would not be in a great hurry to breed if you need to sell the offspring. Some of these horses represented the best pedigree in the business. What about the local, not so well known stallions in Canada. What would you get for you foal or yearling?

  2. We just bred our black Hollywood Dun It & Playsboys Guard mare to our 3yo Dunalino Stallion, we’re hoping to get at least $5,000.00 for the foal in the spring. Our stallion is also very well bred with Hollywood Jac 86 & Skippin Hot Lena. We’re also hoping that they will stop the truck loads of horses coming in from the US, would help our prices. We did take 1 gelding to a horse sale & got a $160.00 for him, he had Smutty Bill on his papers, won’t be doing that again
