2024 Sale Recap
|
Hershberger Performance Horse Sale Company, Jason and Nikki Hershberger, held their 19th Annual Performance Horse Sale Friday, March 1st, at WestWorld in Scottsdale. The sale kicked off the AZ Sun Circuit, the biggest AQHA show in the west. Horses were previewed Thursday afternoon in Ranch Riding, that was won by Gunna Chromeya, shown by Taylor Cherry. The futurity heading and heeling preview format showed the horses well in their respected age group. The Jr. Heading was won by Reed Boos, riding the rank bay horse, Ultimate Game Of Tag. In the Jr. Heeling, the cool horse, Believen, was the champ piloted by Dakota Kirchenschlager.
The Sr.Heading champ was Smart Peppy Doc ridden by JD Johnson, with the Sr Heeling, Bowmans Lil Fox, with Ranger Hill aboard. Horses were previewed again Friday morning. Horses were demonstrated in the roping, reining, barrels, and cow horse. The sale began at 1:00. Joel White and Blake Thompson called the bids. Wyatt Hershberger read pedigrees; Zane Yates did a great job announcing the preview. The High-Selling Horse, South Ram Gradie was consigned by Kale and Tatum Peterson. The gorgeous gray gelding is an awesome rope horse. He sold for $65,000.00, going to North Dakota. Other top sellers were, My Stetson 801, consigned by Brad and Barrie Smith for $62,000.00 The awesome bay, Hashtags gelding, Ultimate Game Of Tag, commanded the price of $55,000. The great looking bay was consigned by Reed Boos. Smokin Hot Chex, consigned by JD Johnson, a beautiful buckskin gelding sold for $52,000.00. Rounding out the top ten horses sold, Colton Klassen and Taylor Cherry, Lance and Kaitlyn Knutson, Jared Meyer, Javon Kropf and Triple T Livestock. The top ten horses averaged $48,500.00. We are excited to see good horses from the sale go on to be successful with their new owners. This year was an exceptional group of consigned horses! The over-all average sale price on the horses sold was $21,500.00. Eighty-two percent of the horses sold. A big thank you to the consignors who brought these quality horses. This year’s lucky buyer was Kanden Coronado. He took home the Corriente trophy saddle (sponsored by John Holt and Terry Larsen, Southwest Risk Management). The lucky ticket was drawn at the end of the sale. He had purchased the beautiful palomino gelding, Hydrive Shine. The outstanding Arizona weather, the climate-controlled indoor arena, shopping, and great horses to watch and bid on made this year’s performance horse sale a success. Jason and Nikki would like to thank all that attended. We are grateful to all of our buyers that trust in the quality brought to the Hershberger Performance Horse Sale.
