horse auctions
Bidding on stallions
Horse auctions are public sales where horses are sold to the highest bidder.
They range from high-end events featuring thoroughbreds and breeding stock to local sales of working horses and unwanted animals.
Buyers bid in person or through agents, with prices varying wildly by breed, age, training, and pedigree: She picked up a retired racehorse cheap at auction.
Some auctions have reputations for quality breeding stock; others are known as places where horses end up before slaughter.
