You might be surprised what reining prospects bring. The working cow horse/reining/ranch riding areas continue to grow, and a good horse is a good horse.
At any auction, it is what a bidder is willing to pay. If they have the want to own and the money, that’s what will set the price, regardless of discipline.
Reining horses can go for some really big money, and Gunner was a really talented horse and Hollywood Dun It was a phenomenal horse and sire and was sired by Hollywood Jac 86 and with ranch riding and reining becoming more and more popular.
And let’s not forget that pretty sells and so does train-ability and personality
I love the bloodlines and look of PSU Im a Rockin Chip but when you look at her info they say she is a bit reactive undersaddle but easy in hand, that can change as she matures but could put buyers off
I love #11, who is actually deaf! Apparently it can happen in the splash overos! She is a beautiful mover and looks like a great ride!
Sigh…if only I could convince my husband that I need another horse!
So did any members bid on any of the horses
We bid on the belt buckle, but no horses!
I did, but was outbid.
Prices were very healthy this year! I think the virus, which necessitated the on-line auction, really benefited Penn State.
They did get some nice prices
You know it’s not The Depression II because someone paid $900 for the belt buckle.
I did enjoy speaking with Brian Egan. He was honest, as everyone I have heard from told me he would be. He was also very patient as I brought my English girl vocabulary and sense of good conformation to the table, and he brought his more Western background. Fortunately, we both knew what “grit” means and communicated pretty well about what I’d want in a horse.
Their beloved stallion, Dynamic Krymsun, “Rocky” died in a pasture accident in 2017 and believe this year’s two-year-olds were the last babies of his. I think they are standing One Hot Krymsun, Rocky’s sire, and I think Brian said they have some frozen semen of his.
It looks like their program will go in more of a reining and Western events direction in the future, but this is the guess of a very uneducated outsider.
I certainly will go back to Penn State’s sale in the future if I need what they have. I’m very glad to have learned of this program and sale. Thanks for contributing to that, y’all!
