    Consignor Update

    Midwest Standardbred Horse Sale

    To All Consignors,

    Thank you for your consignment in the inaugural Midwest Standardbred Horse Sale.

    We require that all yearlings be staked to a minimum of six races. With the May 15th stake nomination deadline quickly approaching,we ask that you contact the owners of the yearlings in your consignment and notify them of this requirement.

    The yearling inspection process will begin May 19th and continue until on or about July 1st. Please expect a call five to seven days out to discuss our arrival.

    In order to make the most accurate assessment of each yearling we ask that the yearlings be shown to us in hand, if a yearling is not broke then please have them separated in stalls or pens. Their pedigrees will have already been scored when we arrive, and we will share their current pedigree scores with you at our visit as well as their conformation scores. After inspections are complete, we will assign days and send those day placements to you along with a sale contract to complete, sign and return.

    An email /letter with future dates/deadlines will be sent to each consignor early summer.
