OBS Mixed and HRA Sale Begins Today

The Ocala Breeders’ Mixed Sale and Horses of Racing Age Sale will begin it’s two-day run today in Ocala, Florida. The 511 catalogued hips will sell during the consignor preferred session (hip 1-194) Wednesday and the open session (195-393) and horses of racing age portion (393-511) Thursday.

“We look forward to having a good sale,” said OBS sales director Tod Wojciechowski. “This time of year has been growing each year and it seems like it’s a great opportunity for people to come down out of the north and get out of the weather. With the addition of the racing age sale, it’s been a unique addition to the mixed sale.” 

With the addition of the horses of racing age sale, Wojciechowski explained that the sale has expanded the buying bench. “I think each year we’ve added new clients,” he said. “Adding the horses of racing age sale has been a process, but it’s been a good process. The retention of customers and the addition of new ones has been good.” 

“So far, the traffic has been good. We’ve just concluded our breeze show and there some mixed horses still shipping in,” Wojciechowski explained. “The optional breeze show is unique advantage for the racing age sale–we’re the only company that offers an optional under tack show. Particularly, we have some unraced 3-year-olds who have an opportunity to show their ability.”

The sale will begin at 10:30 a.m. and can be streamed online at www.obssales.com.
