IF you are breeding to sell your foal then your annual profit will most likely come down to two or three hours at an auction on one day in the autumn.

This makes it crucial that your foal is looking the best it can be on that day. The thought that a customer will give a decent price for a diamond in the rough is a thing of the past. Today’s client wants it all! When I am looking to purchase a horse of any age it has to give a sharp first impression because when I come to sell it I want it to catch the client’s eye just as it caught mine.
