The performance horse industry is set for yet another offering of outstanding cutting horses. Stan Thomas, owner of Three Trees Ranch Inc., Newnan, Ga., is dispersing of his horses in a sale on Friday, Oct. 15. The auction is managed by Troy Stewart and it’s being held at EE Ranches in Whitesboro, Texas, starting at 9:30 a.m.

Thomas, a real estate developer, was a regular at the National Cutting Horse Association sales a few years back. He purchased a number of high-profile horses, including the high-selling yearlings in 2004 (Catalaney, $300,000), 2006 (Imirage and Ruby Reyn, $285,000 each) and 2007 (Curlys Cowgirl, $500,000). According to Stewart, Thomas is selling approximately 50 horses in the October sale, and EE Ranches also has some consigned. There will be 65-70 horses sold in all.

“This is the best set of horses, pedigree wise, that I’ve ever seen at a sale,” Stewart said.

If I didn’t already have a committment for today, I can tell you what I would be doing. I would be going to the Working Mountain Horse Competition. The Wild Deuce Girls ride out in the west country all summer and then bring their horses who have a summer full of experience to the competition and sale. Actually folks can bring their own horses and compete in the Friday competition. There is another whole competition on Saturday for just horses that are going in the sale. Then the sale on Sunday. There is a BBQ, Wild Steer Packing competition, Tradeshow, STARS Silent Auction, Round Pen demo and much more. You can even camp at the location and stay and enjoy the whole weekend. Check out their listing on the horse sales for more info and the listing of the horses in the sale.
