Yearling sales are events where young horses, typically one year old, are sold to buyers, often for racing or breeding purposes. These sales are crucial in the horse industry, as they provide an opportunity for breeders to showcase their stock and for buyers to acquire promising horses. The sales usually take place at auction houses and can attract buyers from various sectors, including trainers and owners. During yearling sales, horses are evaluated based on their pedigree, conformation, and potential performance. Buyers often conduct inspections and may also rely on expert opinions to make informed decisions. Successful yearling sales can significantly impact the future of both the horses and the buyers involved.
