The 26th Annual Van Norman & friends Production Sale was held on September 16 and 17 at the Elko County Fairgrounds. Despite the challenges of a three-year drought over most of the western US, unprecedented increases in the cost of fuel and resulting astronomical rise in the cost of hay and forage, the bubble of skyrocketing prices across the industry held! This sale was the by far the highest grossing sale to date, with a strong demand across the board for all ages and types of horses. A total of 76 horses sold for a sale average of $10, 689.47 with lively competition among telephone, internet, and in-person bidders. Prospective buyers were presented with several opportunities to see their catalog picks in action Friday and Saturday mornings with commentary by Matt Mori and Ty Van Norman as well as to visit with owners and riders. Sale day dawned with a steady rain which forced planners to revert to Plan B which was to go back to the dry, albeit cramped, auction barn. As the rain stopped and the sun came out, the sale kicked off with the national anthem beautifully sung by Marrina Mori as the colors were presented by Maggie Van Norman and Natalie Mori followed by a prayer and inspirational message by renowned auctioneer, Colonel Steve Friskup of Muleshoe, Texas. Friskup rolled through the 80 cataloged horses with his signature style and humor, keeping energy and enthusiasm high throughout the afternoon. He was accompanied by Matt Mori providing insight and commentary about the horses, riders, and breeding programs represented. Bid spotters Bucke Waite, Clint Menchew and James Johnson assisted by phone ringmen Pete Mori, Allie Bear, and Darci Riggins along with Katie Colyer(LiveAuctionsTV) on the computer kept Steve on his toes throughout the afternoon. The highlight of the afternoon came near the halfway point when Anna Van Norman’s ten year-old sorrel multi-event gelding , JP DOUBLE DOWN VEGAS, by speed-bred FRENCH STREAKTOVEGAS and cowbred DOUBLE LENA DOLL brought a rafter shaking final bid of $90,000! Quill Filippini, daughter of Jim and Mindy Filippini of Eureka, NV, will pursue Anna’s path to competitive excellence in the rodeo arena! Absentee participation was also at a record high, undoubtedly precipitated by the high cost of travel, but also due to a user- friendly enhanced internet platform, the availability of videos of every horse, and accessibility to information from consignors as buyers did their presale homework.
