WTBOA Summer Yearling
Sale Guidelines

Yearling is well grown out and has no significant defects, i.e. back in the knees, severely offset knees, etc. If you do not know conformation, get professional help in evaluating your yearling.

Yearling's pedigree appeals to potential buyers

Sires should have commercial appeal
Sire should either be a popular proven sire with a good yearling sales average, or if sire is unproven, he should have top racing and pedigree credentials.

Dams should have commercial appeal
Young mares should either be a stakes performer themselves, and/or should be a sister (full or half) to stakes performers. Dams with five or more foals of racing age should have produced stakes performers, or should have produced runners of reasonable class. Strong supporting female families are preferred.
