WISER FARM INC.
13TH ANNUAL NATIONAL
TRAINER'S SHOW SALE
This Wiser
Farm National Trainer's Show Sale kicked off the 1st sale
of the year for this famed facility.
One hundred
twenty entries graced the sale arena, ranging from brood
stock, pleasure and performance. One way to judge
recovery in the market is to monitor the level of the
bidding public, says Tommy Grider, co-owner and president
of Wiser Farm. The overall atmosphere was upbeat and
it was very evident that there is a great demand for
quality horses.
We were
fortunate to have consignors, buyers and spectators from
all areas of the United States, ranging from Washington
state to the Carolinas, from New Jersey to Florida.
Once again reiterating the fact that survival growth and
success solely relies upon the support and trust of our
valued customers, says Grider.
The overall
prices were very impressive but equally was the total
percentage of entries that sold. A whopping 92%
found new owners before the big day was over!
TOP TEN SELLING
ENTRIES
1.. Generator's Summer Dream,
sired by the all time great Prides Generator, out of the
top producing Pride's Gold Coin mare Gold Coin's Roulette,
making her a full sister to the late, great Black Rain.
Summer Dream sold certified in foal to the ever popular
W.G.C. Jose' Jose'. This gorgeous mare was consigned
by Charles and Joy Gleghorn's Brookhaven Farms of
Fayetteville, TN and was purchased by Mr. Richard Atnip of
Smithville, TN. Brookhaven Farms also consigned the
number two selling entry, Generator's Pin-Up who attracted
much attention and vigorous bidding before becoming the
property of new owner Janet Franklin of Otis Orchard,
Washington. Pin-Up is a sister to the number one
selling entry Generator's Summer Dream. Pin-Up was
certified in foal to W.G.C. Cash In My Stock. The
number three spot was claimed by the Formac consignment
Dollars Prodigy K.M. This 3 year old stallion caught
the eye and final bid of Mr. Wayne Barnes of Springfield,
TN. The number four spot was captured by the Paul
and Vicki Garland entry Triple Gen, sired by Prides
Generator and out of the top producing mare Ebony's Triple
Glory to compliment this great mare was a paid stud fee to
W.G.C. Out On Parole. Once again the knowledgeable
horse lady from Otis Orchard, Washington, Janet Franklin
signed the purchase contract. Rounding out the top
five in the fifth position was another Formac entry
Gillian Welch. This high stepping black 3 year old
mare, sired by Powered By Generator has impressive wins at
Tupelo, MS and Fulton, KY. After much competitive
bidding, she became the property of Patti Abernathy of
Olive Branch, MS. The number six selling entry was
the former show ring pleaser Pushin Mama, with wins to her
credit including Pulaski. She has already proven herself
as a show horse, want this be exciting when Mr. J. B.
Jurls of Montgomery, AL breeds her to
"Hysteria". Finishing in the number seven
spot was Gen's Royal Master. This beautiful bay 4
year old stallion, sired by Gen's Living Colors was
consigned by Mr. Larry Massey and caught the attention and
successful bid of Kate Harvey, Albany, GA. The
number eight top selling entry was Pusher Lady Girl, with
the looks of her sire W.G.C. the Pusher C.G. and carrying
a "SEVE" foal she was certainly one of the
highlights of the day consigned by Locust Hill Farm and
purchased by Ronnie Logsdon of Munfordville, KY.
Number nine spot found Gen's Virginia Joyce, consigned by
Mr. William "Joker" Young of Carbondale, IL.
This beautiful buckskin walking mare had a gorgeous
perlino filly by her side and bred back to a cremello
stallion. This package came the property of noted
Texas horse lady Laura Kidder of Crosby, TX. The top
ten list was completed by the reigning World Champion
Keeping Promises consigned by noted horseman Mr. Joe
Christmas. This world champion entry has a new
address of Otis Orchard, WA as she became the property of
Janet Franklin.
The
aforementioned top ten sellers represents quality brood
stock, competitive performance show horses, pleasure and
the ever popular colored horses. I want to interpret
these results as a positive indicator of our marketplace,
Grider continues. Anytime at any sale you can
continue one after another selling $3500 to $7500 horses
you can feel comforted that the void which has existed is
coming to a close and better selling times are here!
Once again
I want to thank our consignors, buyers and spectators for
allowing us the opportunity to have a quality horse sale.
We look forward to the upcoming show season as our next
scheduled sale is in conjunction with the Fun Show in May.
Also I would like to congratulate the trainers on one of
the best Trainer's Shows ever!
Tommy Grider
