How It Works ! Yearling Gathering 101
We are not a traditional auction . In simplest terms we are a Yearling Store . We have a great selection and usually have exactly what you are looking for .
Most follow these steps when coming to the Rising Star Ranch Yearling Gathering . We begin showing colts around 9-10 am as our morning chores are finished , we will break for lunch and show yearlings after lunch up until 4 pm . Special requests to see yearlings outside of those times can be made to David Williams .
1 . Walk the halls and see the yearlings in their respective stalls . Their pedigree info is on each door .
2 . Make a list of what you would like to see . Whether it be specific colts or if you have a " type " you are looking for .
3 . Let one of our staff know what you would like to see and we will retrieve them from their stalls and bring them to our " Show Pen " for you to see how they move . We have a smaller round pen for those you would like to see go slower at a walk . All of our colts are presented at liberty , no halters or handlers .
4 . The pricing for our yearlings currently on the farm will appear in the front of our online catalog of which the link is provided below . This page will be updated throughout the sale . As new yearlings arrive and others sell , the price list will be updated . Most prices are negotiable , ( Some more negotiable than others ). Always feel free to make an offer at your comfort level . Every offer is taken to the respective seller and an acceptance or counter offer is provided . We try to make the process very easy for buyer and seller .
PLEASE NOTE : As we are showing you yearlings other potential buyers are being shown as well , simultaneously . First acceptable offer will buy the yearling . Many will say they " want to think about it " some for less than 30 seconds and someone else in the room has purchased the yearling .
Yearlings are being bought As Is . Please inspect your yearling choices before purchase .
When an agreement is made on price yearling becomes property of buyer and board rate begins the following day until yearling is transported from Rising Star .
Additionally , Our “ Out of Town ” Buyers can purchase through a similar process . Photos are provided in our catalog and video requests can be made . If you do purchase a yearling and are not present on site , we can board yearling at Rising Star at our daily board rate until such time you are able to pick up your purchase . We can also assist in shipping arrangements as well .
Please join us at Rising Star Ranch during the Celebration and see what we have to offer . Any inquiries can be directed to David Williams @ 931-639-1081 , if you don ' t get an answer immediately , text that number or message RisingStar Ranch through Facebook .
