“We feel we have a boutique draft of precocious yearlings to meet the market. Last year we were thrilled to achieve a 100% clearance rate and the feedback was extremely positive. It was very satisfying to hear that they were so well educated and broke in quickly without any issue. This year our draft is even stronger with better pedigrees and stronger physical specimens.”
