Live Branding Preview
The main show of the sale, the branding preview gives buyers a first-hand look at what the horses can do. Consignors have an opportunity to head and heel to showcase their horse in the controlled chaos of a branding and under the pressure of the on-looking crowd. From the beginning, the sale founders believed this was the best way to show the horse’s abilities and select for true ranch horses. Preview the horses here, online, ahead of time - beginning in April.
