Sale Highlights and Results
The High-Selling Horse, Jackies Double Chunk, was consigned by Shawn Grant and Bill Martin. Jackies Double Chunk is a 2000 Gray Gelding that sold for $24,500 to Stafford Ranches. This beautiful gelding is a well broke Head Horse and you can heel on him too. Shawn's son Skeeter did a great job roping and demonstrating this horse in the preview and the sale ring. Two of the very nice geldings made a trip to their new home in Hawaii, Tazzle Dazzle consigned by Les Oswald for Ted Konopisos, and Chicks King Via consigned by Cord Forzano for Jay Ayres, were purchased by Daryl Mederios from Kaui.
