\"thunderman-photo-by-jim-gillies\"<\/a>Once again, the highly anticipated event drew a crowd of potential buyers, sellers, trainers and owners from across the Northeast. MSC\u2019s sale is the only one of its kind in New York State held on a college campus.<\/p>\n

A total of 81 yearlings grossed $1,106,136 for an average of
\n$13,656. The highest-priced yearling was Thunderman, topping out at $55,000, consigned by Lakeview Equine, followed by My Lady Winner at $50,000, consigned by Preferred Equine.<\/p>\n

The yearling sale, which features year-old Standardbred horses sold on consignment by the college, is organized and run by Morrisville State Equine Department faculty, staff and students.<\/p>\n

Equine students participated in every aspect of the sale from administrative duties to horse handling and showing horses in the sales ring.<\/p>\n

Throughout the sale, potential buyers scanned their sale catalogs intently as bid spotters kept track of those who raised their hands and shouted out amounts.<\/p>\n

The sale is an all-around great experience for students, allowing them to learn in a real-life business setting. Many have also helped foal and raise those sold by the college, and also had a hand in naming them.<\/p>\n

Profits from the sale go toward general maintenance and enrichment of the college\u2019s equine programs.\u00a0 For complete sale results visitwww.morrisvillesale.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
