OBS SELECTED AUGUST YEARLING SALE

[ak1]

I noticed the toothpick legs on several too.

Noticed two Afleet Alex yearlings whose photos looked attractive.

One thing I noticed after going thru about 150 pics is that of the 4 photographers, 2 were consistently getting good photos with a yearling standing square and at attention; 2 were getting yearlings standing at awkward angles. At first I thought, well maybe the handlers had not trained that particular yearling to stand, but after a while my opinion is photographer issue and consequently some yearlings whom I did not think looked well in their photos probably look a great deal different in person.

I know a photo is not something you make a decision on, but with that many horses a bad photo could knock a yearling off a look see list when time is precious.
