So you are selling him as a weanling. How much would you think he might bring then as apposed to selling him as a yearling? Just wondering. I was thinking of putting some of Gone Fishin's through the sale as weanlings. Mostly to showcase how gorgeous they are. I would not let them go cheap, like I know some people do. If they don't sell for what I want. I can race them all myself.

Jenny that is a million dollar question. lol I try and sell all my weanlings. What he would bring compared to a yearling is the risk I take every time I stick one in the sale.

That's a well-balanced nice looking baby. Congratulations and I hope that he brings more than you want for him!!!

<sigh> yes, they probably will. I wish we could keep them all, but we can't. We'll probably sell three and keep one.

LB - where do you board your mares (if you don't mind me asking- you can pm me if you want)? Your weanlings are all lovely! :)

serenarider - your colt has a great body, I LOVE the expression on his face in the first pic, lol :D
