Cat N Gail sold for $50,000
The Marketplace at Ardmore, a consignment auction for performance horses, held its first sale of the year on March 31 at the Hardy Murphy Coliseum in Ardmore, Okla. The top 10 head averaged $24,620; the top 20 head averaged $17,185; and the overall average was $5,362. Of the total offering, 80 percent sold.
Sale manager Susie Reed said, “We couldn’t be happier with these totals, and they certainly reflect the higher end of performance horses that we work so hard to attract. More important, we feel an upswing in the economy, and the market coming back.”

High seller Cat N Gail (LTE $56,240, producer of $123,000), a 1998 mare (High Brow Cat x Abigail Fletch x Jae Bar Fletch), was consigned by Sunrise Ranch and sold to Dr. David Hartmann for $50,000. The second-highest seller, Starlights Sonny (LTE $10,718), a 2000 stallion (Grays Starlight x Meradas Sunshine x Freckles Merada), went to William Randle for $35,000.
