A new record of the highest priced horse ever sold at more than three decades of UWRF sales was set when lot No. 28, a bay gelding by Dunnit in Hollywood and ridden by student Jennifer Justin, a junior majoring in animal science from Isanti, Minn., sold for $18,000. The second high seller of the sale, $10,000, was lot No. 18, a bay gelding, ridden by UWRF student Jennifer Cassel, a senior majoring in animal science from Grafton, Wis. This year's Colts-in-Training class of 46 students, who prepared the colts for the sale, was taught by UWRF instructor Nathan O'Connor. The sale was managed by Mid-America Equine Sales of Lamar, Mo. The students presented 46 2-year-olds and 10 lesson horses at auction. Buyers from across the United States and Canada were in attendance, with individuals purchasing horses from Missouri, Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Georgia, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Manitoba, Canada.
