We are excited to see good horses from the sale go on to be successful with their new owners. This year was an exceptional group of consigned horses! The over-all average sale price on the horses sold was $21,500.00. Eighty-two percent of the horses sold. A big thank you to the consignors who brought these quality horses.
This year’s lucky buyer was Kanden Coronado. He took home the Corriente trophy saddle (sponsored by John Holt and Terry Larsen, Southwest Risk Management). The lucky ticket was drawn at the end of the sale. He had purchased the beautiful palomino gelding, Hydrive Shine.
The outstanding Arizona weather, the climate-controlled indoor arena, shopping, and great horses to watch and bid on made this year’s performance horse sale a success. Jason and Nikki would like to thank all that attended. We are grateful to all of our buyers that trust in the quality brought to the Hershberger Performance Horse Sale.
