Paints took top honors as the top-selling horses at the 2017 Legacy Reining Breeders Sale, which took place October 20–21 in Aubrey, Texas.
Spangled Glory (pictured above) was the high-selling yearling during Friday’s sale. The 2016 gray overo filly by Star Spangled Whiz (QH) and out of Gunners Glory was purchased by Tamarack Ranch LLC for $82,000.
“The breeding fits our program for sure, and the color on that mare is huge too. That’s something we look for. She’ll fit our show horse program first and then our broodmare band later,” said Gabe Hutchins, head trainer at Tamarack Ranch.
