1967-Voice Of The Tennessee Walking Horse 1967 May Voice RS | Page 46

A number of horses were sold in the $2000 to $3000 ranee and the top horse from Arkansas brought $4000. The sale indicated that there was a good demand for medium class horses. The buyers were very interested in this kind of horse and the top horses run through the sale commanded the top dollar. Mr Magnusson has indicated that they will hold another sale'in July around the 13th and 14th. This sale will be limited to mares and colts with only a few horses under saddle being auctioned. The facilities for a sale at Magnusson’s are as fine as can be found. The sale ring is well kept and the seating facilities for spectators are top notch. It is indeed a real treat to go to a sale held in such fine facilities as these. Mr Carl Hobbs and Ed Ezell, Jr. served well in their capacity as Assistant Managers of the sale. These two gentlemen arc well respected in the horse business and their efforts in behalf of the breed arc well known to all. The unsung hcros of sales are the clerks who keep up with the many details and paperwork. Doing an outstand­ ing job in this capacity were Mrs. Carl Hobbs, Rufus Lamb, and Mrs. Ann Dunn. On a whole this sale was a success for both consignors and buyers. The horses brought about what they were worth and in most instances a satisfactory agreement was worked out regarding selling the horse. WELCOME.

Magnusson Stages Another Successful Sale April could well be called “The Month Of Sales” in the Walking Horse business. Horse enthusiasts from all over the country spent the better part of the month going to the numerous sales and bidding on horses. One of the top sales held during the month was the Magnusson Gold Star Sale in Pulaski, Tennessee. This two-day sale saw close to 300 head of Tennessee Walking Horses run through with a high percentage bringing good prices. The sale had day and night sessions both days and activity really picked up during the night event sessions. During the day the crowds were smaller than at night but the active bidding kept things going at a brisk pace throughout the sale. The buyers were on hand regardless of the time of day. The sale was smoothly run and this is a result of the fine efforts of the Sale officials. Mr. M. L. Magnusson, owner of the sale, was pleased with the results as auction­ eers Skeets Eskridge and Art Roberts did a good job in keeping the bidding going and discussing the various horses for the crowds information. The leg work of the ring men was a plus factor in the conduct of the sale. Helping in this capacity were John Church, John Vinson, Larry Krigger, Tommv Fouche, and G. W. Clark. 48 IP^BIDDING- Aucti°neer “Skeets” Eskridge keeps t e bidding activity going during the sale as officials standa S^3r^ C^e ^or ProsPective buyers from the Sale VOICE of the Tennessee Walking Horse
