Stallion seasons and shares

Each year I purchase or sell many stallion seasons for my clients in all price ranges in both California and Kentucky. Breeders should check with a knowledgeable agent regarding current market conditions to ensure they pay fair prices for their seasons.

Insurance

I am a licensed insurance agent specializing in equine mortality and related policies. Whether you've never insured a horse or would like a competitive quote for an existing policy, I'm happy to help with all your insurance needs.

Auction Consignments

Since 1986 I have consigned over 2,600 horses at public auctions in California and Kentucky. In 2011 I began a new partnership with Columbiana Farm to sell client horses at Kentucky auctions. We believe in having smaller consignments that enable us to be personally involved with the promotion of all our horses. Since then we have sold the following stakes horses:

• BY YOUR SIDE. $240,000 yearling by Constitution.
  G3 winner, $137,348, at Saratoga.
• BIG TROUBLE. $230,000 yearling by Tiz Wonderful.
  Undefeated G3 winner at Saratoga, $235,000
• COOL COWBOY. $110,000 yearling by Kodiak Kowboy.
  Stakes winner, G2-placed, $736,781.
• HOT SPRINGS. $750,000 yearling by Uncle Mo.
  Stakes winner, G3-placed, $258,843
• ROCKET TIME. $47,000 yearling by Tiz Wonderful.
  Stakes winner, G3-placed, $424,323.

  Stakes-placed winner of $152,830.
   

Appraisals

Equine values are very subjective, with auction sales providing the only true measure of current market value. But there are times when you need to know what your horse is worth without selling it at auction. That is when you can benefit from having an honest, thoughtful appraisal done by an industry professional who understands current market conditions.

Consultation

Every successful business needs a plan to work by, and racehorse owners and breeders are no exception. I am here to discuss your goals and the best avenues available to reach them. Sometimes it's just nice to have someone to share ideas with and get a different perspective.
