Reputable Sale Barns in Ocala & PONIES

Looking for reputable sale barns for hunters in Ocala.

And anyone to stay away from in that area?

Re: Ponies… is there a big market for pony leases for the Ocala circuit? Who are the pony people/farms?

**Edited to add that I am looking to sell one, and purchase.

***Also edited to add to the title.

Sent you a PM!

Andy Kocher is down there for the winter. He is honest and has some nice horses.

Reputable, or stay away from this one?

:eek: Looks like a PM subject

Jamie Terhune does a nice job and is at a nice barn with lots of turnout. She sells quite a bit and has a lot of contacts.

Don Stewart is very good, Bibby does ponies. Call around. It depends really on the pony, and what it can do.

Emil Spadone gets the most traffic IME, he’s reputable and does his best to find a good match and get the deal done in an honest way. I have lots of experience with him and his never done me wrong.
Megan Dimico of Spur Run Farm has lots of ponies and does a good job with them.
Bibby is the tried and true pony person of Ocala.
The market is all about luck, who’s down there at the right moment, how much they have to spend and how the pony walks out of its stall on the day, but in general, the pony divisions do pretty well in Ocala every year.

Mark Stopford sells a lot
