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. The entrance to the Magnusson Sale bam
is vivid proof of the beauty of this fine layout. The stone
building is a unique structure which combines beauty with
usefulness.
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.
