Barrett's May Sale down again

Postby tbrace » Tue May 13, 2008 9:29 pm

The horse market in california, and especially at Barretts, is in sad order.

Who will breed for this market?

What can be done?

I was at the sale yesterday. Good horses sold--bad horses didn't.

The theory is of course that good horses make money and bad horses make bills. Honestly I haven't read anything about the median or average but it sure felt like an ordinary May sale attending it.
