Select Sales Adds New Partners

Select Sales announced the addition of two new partners to the sales agency Tuesday: Mullikin Thoroughbreds (Tom & Michelle Mullikin) and Amy Bunt.

“We are really excited about bringing our new partners on board,” said Select Sales' partner Andrew Cary. “We have experienced tremendous growth and success since we started our business in 2009 and adding new young and dedicated partners like the Mullikins and Amy Bunt will help ensure that we continue to grow and prosper in the future. Amy joined us in late 2013 as our Director of Sales and she has already proven to be a tremendous asset on a variety of levels.”

Tom Mullikin previously served as the general manager of Kevin Plank's Sagamore Farm in Maryland for nine years. His initial Thoroughbred industry experience was working for Craig and Carrie Brogden's Machmer Hall back in 2001 and he also worked for the late Ned Evans's Spring Hill Farm in Virginia. The Brogdens are also partners in Select Sales and Carrie Brogden was a college friend of Michelle Mullikin. The Mullikins purchased the historic Loch Lea Farm in Paris, KY last fall and are fully up and running with a full-service boarding, foaling and sales prep facility.

“Michelle and I couldn't be more thrilled to be joining the ranks of Select Sales,” said Tom Mullikin. “We are proud to be joining such a hard-working, loyal and successful group of partners. Select Sales is an industry leader, as evidenced in the number of graded stakes horses sold under its banner. We're looking forward to contributing to Select's continued success through our resources at Mullikin Farm. The momentum and energy that is building within Select Sales is undoubtedly special, a great future lies ahead.”

Before joining Select Sales, Bunt had compiled over a decade of professional experience in the Thoroughbred breeding and sales industry. A graduate of Virginia Tech with a degree in Animal Sciences, she previously worked for Hagyard Davison McGee as a veterinary technician and as a sales coordinator for Van Meter Sales, Niall Brennan Stables and Eaton Sales. She was also the Membership and Education coordinator at Thoroughbred Owners & Breeders Association.

“I am very honored to be brought on as a partner at Select Sales,” said Bunt. “I believe having a young self-made staff, with diverse backgrounds and skill sets makes for a very strong company. For the past two years, while working closely with the team, we have built an outstanding working relationship together. I am so thankful to be part of an operation that has achieved so much success in such a short period of time. I really look forward to working closely with my partners in taking Select Sales to the next level and beyond.”
