Welcome to the Aiken Event Horse Sale, LLC!  We hope you will make time on your calendar Wednesday and Thursday February 20-21, 2008 to attend two great days of horse shopping in the United States' fastest growing horse country, Aiken, South Carolina.  Our goal is to bring together event horse sellers and buyers in one convenient, enjoyable setting that is conducive to doing a little business.

We have enlisted the help and input of a truly experienced group of eventing professionals from different backgrounds and geographic locales.  Our thanks go to dedicated committee members, Lara Anderson, Stephie Baer, Mara Dean, Helen Delacroce, Phillip Dutton, Holly Hepp, Zeb Fry, Nadeem Noon, and Sharon White, for their assistance in planning this event!

In the course of my career as a horseman, I have had the pleasure of selling many very nice horses.  A handful have gone on to be superstars in the sport at the highest level, many have gone on to be superstars in the hearts and minds of their owners. Regardless of the individual horse, there has always been pleasure for me in seeing the right horse end up with the right rider.  It's our hope that the Aiken Event Horse Sale can help make that happen, as surely truer words were never spoken than that "the outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man."
