ents are actively involved in the equine industry - thoroughbreds, saddlebreds, hunter-jumpers and standardbreds - and through this direct involvement, we have developed an extensive client base. We attend major horse sales, race meets, and horse shows - continually cultivating relationships. We maintain the highest inventory of farm listings and, recently, we have handled the sale of such well-known farms as THE VINERY, POPLAR HILL, HOPEWELL, LAKLAND, JOHN T.

Bill Justice's Homebred topped Tuesday's Keeneland's January Sale!!! Our stunning yearling c**t by Nyquist commanded an impressive $525,000, selling to En Fuego Stables.

Out of stakes-placed Sorrentina Lemon (by Lemon Drop Kid) and hailing from the family of Canadian Champion Negligee, this c**t checks every box—pedigree, presence, and performance potential. He was expertly consigned by Conley Bloodstock (Carolyn Conley), agent.

Once again, showing that our direct involvement in the horse industry enhances our ability to assist farm Sellers and Buyers!
