I was wondering about the Dash Ta Fame gelding that was consigned. I think it was from South Dakota?
I have most of them but need the hip # , if you have that I can tell u. One of the DTF's went for $33k
The sorrel or dark bay gelding?
Your DTF demo'ed like a beast! |

Location: Where I am happiest | WrapSnap - 2015-11-14 3:21 PM I watched. I thought that there were some good deals to be had on horses who had solid, but less trendy pedigrees. I felt like the higher end horses sold well, but a few could have sold better. If I'm being completely honest, there were also a few consignors who I would not be inviting back, were I in charge. Just not quite fitted properly, or exposed enough before being demo'ed and it brought the whole vibe down a bit.
I agree with you. They had complete gunsels riding for them and it was a total turn-off. It's to bad because they were bred alright,not mainstream per say but solid.... but when you see they had 6 months on them and they cant get around the arena thats a bad deal, and the guy rushing those colts through leadchanges I wanted to rip him off those horses. You would think the owner would know better. They rode like a local once a month kill buyer auction yard horse. One of them I actually liked but no way did I want a baby that already had their confidence destroyed and started by idiots. My husband was wishing we had gone. There were some steals. That yellow horse that dumped his girl in the preview just needed a gelding date and some good days gathering on the ranch. He was a steal for $1500. |

Don't know if y'all watched the pre sale videos of the "lead change" horses but they almost all had draw reins on with chin tucked to their chests. Not one of them was broke in the face. I wanted one of them bad too. |

I hadn't. The only ones that I had seen beforehand were Molli's. I bet for sure if the DTF had been a 3 yr old, he would have been the high seller of the sale, in my mind. I loved the guy y'all are talking about too! I for sure thought the FG x CC filly might have brought a few more dollars! |

Location: The Saudia Arabia of Wind Energy, Western Oklahoma | I watched some of the demos and I have to say I do not like horses that tuck that chin like so many people are doing now. That is hard to get out of one and for me is not good for running barrels. Do not like that but I guess some do. I thought the well bred horses sold well but didn't know which ones really sold or not. There were quite a few I wouldn't have taken if you had given them to me. |

Location: Where I am happiest | TheOldGrayMare - 2015-11-14 4:49 PM I consigned one of my own...a son of Chasin Firewater, and took 2 horses for friends. I really think a lot of my colt. ..you can see him below. He looks great, showed well and has been handled a ton. I turned down 2x what he brought last night previously. I don't know why they weren't bidding. He did go to a great home, so I'm happy about that. The DTF stud looks way better in person than his pics on the ad. I had only had him like 10 days when we took those. So he was not at all conditioned. He PO'd at 14500 and we sold him back at the stall. His testicles haven't descended yet and some were worried about it. The vet on site was not worried about it only being a yearling. D&D put on a good sale, my complaint is them running the race at the same time as the sale. I had several told me they couldn't bid because they were up for their runs.
It really is a very good sale! We need good sales and I think this sale has a great future. It really is to bad the barrel race was going on in the other arena at the same time. Hopefully they can change their schedule up so the race is over for the evening and only thing going is the sale. Also if they could tweek the phone bidding venue some so people can call in to bid, then when a steal is happening, we can bid rather then just sit there thinking dang I so would have jumped in on that. Your colts were really nice and looked great! |

| I enjoy fellowship with other barrel racers , horsemen and women, its what makes our world go round and help our sport grow into something elite for those for whom it is their passion. However, I don't enjoy the igornance that comes a long with it.
This is a very "this is what I saw, so this is what I think" thread. Did yall take the time to walk through aisles, or ask others about consigned horses? These are just my issues with social forums. No one knows the real story.
As far as "lead change boy" and those horses go....they did not start those 2 yr olds. The original trainer did such a bad job starting them, that other riders were found to hopefully TURN AROUND the job already started at hand. Once lead change boy and his crew started, they put hours of blood sweat and tears into those colts to get the best out of them that they could. Do y'all have experience with young horses? I assume so. 2 yr olds are never to be expected of the same things that they do at home, ESPECIALLY when it is their first time away, first crowd to see, and as far as the trainers, their FIRST elite sale to ride in.
No one knows how those colts demos affected their trainers accept me, because our stalls were directly across and they are our FRIENDS. I'll just say this...get ready for them for next year. Lead change boy and his crew are coming back with a vengeance to prove to the close minded, what their talents actually are.
Instead of breaking ppl, their colts, and a sale down....why not do a little research before typing such awful things that sway the opinions of the entire barrel horse world.
This world needs more ENCOURAGMENT and less **** TALKING. |

I wasn't talking smack. Those horses hadn't had the necessary exposure to allow them to perform well in the preview. I actually thought that a few of them were quite nice and would have faired better had they been allowed to show a consistent lope on a circle. After the first change or two didn't work, stop trying to be fancy and just show your horse's good qualities. Sale barn riding 101. I never said the horses weren't nice. I sure hope that they do come back with better prepped colts in the future, as I was a fan of the sort of individuals their program is producing.

| Totally agree - if you cannot do a nice flying lead change then don't do it - simple. |

There was a sorrel Epic Leader colt on here that was consigned. Does anyone know what he went for? Or any of the Epic Leader's if there were more. Thanks so much!
I watched a little bit on and off. The Epic colt went for 6500 or 7500 I think, but I could be wrong! |
