The 7th Annual Mid-America Trotting Sale was an event to remember! Thank you to the auction committee, bidders, and all involved in making this sale an incredible success year after year.
This action-packed auction was held at Gordyville in Gifford, IL. Over the course of the event we saw over 300 impressive consignments from twelve states stretching from Delaware to Montana! From young prospects to proven breeding stock, this event boasted top-quality horses to suit all bidders.
Friday kicked off with a Stallion Presentation and Service Fee Auction where attendees had the opportunity to view many up-and-coming stallions in person and see them drive. The Stallion Fee Auction featured breedings to over 50 stallions that read like the who’s who of the Standardbred world - including Lordy Lordy, Dr. Gump, Mr. Hard Rock, Newtown Chocolatier, and Rocky Top King.
Day one wrapped up with an exciting roadster demonstration and educational program that discussed what judges look for in the showring. This was such a nice addition to the schedule and was appreciated by all in attendance.
