Experienced buyers looking at impeccably bred yearlings never before in the spotlight in front of a crowd can be quite forgiving of one that gets scared. She was a scared baby for a couple of minutes and settled well enough. You can’t school everything.

I think her handlers were rushing because they weren’t ready when they should have been, for whatever reason. Then they came to the wrong door which caused more commotion.
She was lovely and well bred and didn’t kick them when they were between her hindquarters and the door, so I don’t think anyone would hold her behavior against her, the bidders obviously didn’t.

I am beyond impressed with the skill and horsemanship of the heavier built, bald gentleman handler. He is extraordinary.
I realize that I’m talking to myself at this point.

Wow, looks big too!
Book 4 has indeed seen prices fall off a cliff, with some nice horses bringing low bids.
