I'm thinking of using them next year, I was wondering how they are to work with.

I've never sold with them but I did buy a mare they were consigning several years ago and they were great at answering my questions and very upfront about what they were offering. Speaking as a buyer, they are definitely on my "good" list. :)

Also bought a filly privately through them. Took a while to get my papers mailed to me, but they were excellent to deal with, had everything in order, and I was very happy.

Great! That's 2 people who have bought from them that were happy with how they were dealt with, I like that. Thank you.

What?

I think you mean that Mark Reid owns Walnut Green, having purchased it from Russell Jones and his late brother Richie. Russell's contract ended this year and he has stepped away from the business. Reid's son, Mark Jr., is very involved in the sales end, too, and very nice to deal with.

So far so good for me on this end. I'm dealing with Marcia the office manager, but when they come out to see my filly after the holidays I'll be dealing with the Reids. Good to hear nothing but good comments about them.
Thank you

They bought one of my mares in a November sale and they were very nice to deal with when I called to inquire about her after the sale.

I'm hearing nothing but good things, I think they might be ok.
