Owner's Agent                                                          

Throughout the years we have represented owners at many of the nation's top breeder's sales, bloodstock sales, national shows, futurities, and racing events.    

We offer our services as your "agent representative" for any type of equine event.  

Our services can include:          

     Sales and Auction representation

1. Attending horse sales such as Keeneland, Fasig-Tipton, and Western Bloodstock we can help describe the sale atmosphere and sale prices. We can inspect and report back to you in real time the condition of any prospect you may wish to bid on.  We will keep you informed every step of the way on your cell phone or by e-mail.

2. We will help you find your perfect equine partner in our travels, and we can also help you sell your equine investment to the right buyer.

        Racing and Race Track representation       

1. We have hauled in and out of many racetracks across the U.S. and in most cases owners have always asked us to meet with some one for them, whether be a new potential trainer, new client, or a possible new barn location.

2. We have covered racing at remote tracks to see the competition run and created evaluation reports for owners and trainers.

3. We have written numerous articles for various equine publications describing everything from a bush tracks in Montana to the Futurity at Ruidoso Downs in New Mexico.

      Buying and Selling representatives                                                        

1. All sales are not necessarily done at a sale barn or auction. Many of the best horses we ever found were located in small beautiful country side farms not normally seen on the internet or your favorite magazine.

2. We will help you sell your horse, or we will help you find your dream horse, through our extensive network of contacts. We typically have information on a number of available horses for sale with us at all times. This allows to meet with buyers and show them pictures and details on your horse.

3. You can provide us with  information outlining your horse, and we will actively pursuit a buyer for your horse.

4. In the even that you are searching for a particular bloodline,  just tell us what you are looking for and we will find you the right horse. We can help you find the right mare to breed to that dream stallion of yours.

5. Finding the next winner with out paying a fortune is our specialty. We love weanlings and yearlings, and understanding the make-up of these "babies" is truly an artform. While we can't predict the future, we can certainly share with you those hot "little" prospects that we see along the way, and let you decide if they are the ones that you can build a program around.

6. We carry a portfolio of "horses for sale", should you wish for us to include yours, please provide us with a copy of the details (single 8x10 sheet) with photo, and a copy of their pedigree. This material will be shown regularly to all prospective buyers around the country, and at many major events.

     Rates and Fees

Typical Owner Agent's services are conducted on a 10% commission basis of the sale price. The fee is paid by the party that requested our services, whether its the buyer or the seller.

In the case of a particular request to travel to a specific location is made, customary travel expenses will be past through to the client. Should we be there anyways for the event, these expenses will not be billed to the client.

A simple signed agreement will be created establishing expectations, fees, and any other structure required to ensure your comfort level with our services.
