Everything they do, they do to glorify God.

CLEAN FACILITIES

Every auction is started with a prayer and scripture reading followed by tack, saddles, outside sales, and horses. 

We strive to make this place, not just a horse auction, but a place where the family can come on Saturdays together and enjoy a safe and friendly atmosphere for the whole family to enjoy.

We honor God in all we do and we ask that you respect that. Please refrain from any foal language, violence, alcohol or drugs of any kind, or crude manners.

ONE OF THE LARGEST WEEKLY SALES IN TEXAS

We are proud to have one of the largest horse auctions in Texas. We have people coming from all over the United States every weekend to purchase horses. We average about 100 head every week. 

Every two months we have a special Prison horse sale where Texas Dept. of Criminal Justice bring us 15 horses. These horses are used within the prison for guards, labor, therapy, etc. They are big and beautiful. During Prison horse week we average about 150-180 head making it a huge sale. 

Nothing we do without praising God for it all. Without him nothing is possible.                              "With God all things are possible." Matthew 19:26
