Auction Wrap-Up
The HGF Top Ten Auction and Open House is now history and was a success on many different levels. 400 people attended the Open House to benefit Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Lakeshore, and following the Open House, approximately 150 people stayed to view or participate in the auction of the HGF Top Ten young horses, as featured throughout this summer on Dressagedaily.com and our own www.hamptongreenauction.com website. Following a presentation of sires, the auction was conducted by on-line auctioneer company JKBid.com . Within a few hours, all ten horses were sold to very happy new owners (plus an additional two horses). There were two professional riders from Wellington who bought young horses, several parents of young riders, and a number of pleasure riders. Special recognition and congratulations to Maureen and Clutis Sharpe, PRE Breeders from Hudson, Michigan, who were the successful bidders on four of the Top Ten horses. Maureen and Clutis, parents of Head Groom Molly Reynolds, have a clear vision for their breeding program and have purchased some outstanding young horses to round out their already impressive holdings. Our congratulations to all the new owners! They have joined our newly enlarged HGF family and we hope to be a resource to them as their young horses grow and learn.
