Welcome to the Aiken Event Horse Sale, LLC!  We hope you will make time on your calendar Monday and Tuesday, March 2-3, 2009 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.

After a successful inaugural sale in 2008, we are committed to constant improvement. To that end in 2009 we will add on-site stabling and free access for spectators and buyers. We'll also be offering photos in the online sale catalogue. We hope you'll be a part of this year's action.

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."
