There are more than 80 horses up for sale on the CTHS Ontario On-Line Winter Mixed Sale, launched recently in lieu of a physical auction.

About half are yearlings and weanlings, including many weanlings from the first crop of the well-bred SEATTLE SERENADE, a stakes-winning son of Smart Strike. A majority of the sale entrants are offered by Joe Guerrieri’s Winview Farm as part of a partial dispersal.

CTHS Ontario stated in a release:

The Board of Directors of the CTHS (Ontario) acknowledges the need for our membership to have an outlet to sell their horses. The Board considered many options but was constrained by the pandemic, by lack of facilities, and by a lack of time. After lengthy discussions, in an effort to help our members sell their horses, it was decided to create an Online Listing of horses for sale.

The online horses for sale listing will be using our “Submit A Bid” program for those that wish to sell. Buyers can commence expressing their interest to purchase with the sellers the moment the listing is posted online. The seller’s opening price and or reserve is noted beside the Submit A Bid option.

On the CTHS Ontario web page, potential buyers can click “Submit A Bid” on the sales results page next to the horse(s) they are interested in. An email is automatically sent to both the seller and the CTHS advising them of the potential buyer’s interest in negotiating the purchase of the individual.

The moment the CTHS has been notified by the seller that an agreement of purchase has been negotiated, that particular horse will be removed from the “Submit A Bid” option. The buyer and seller will be responsible for arranging payment, transfer of ownership, and shipping sold horses. The CTHS will also post any photos, videos and pedigrees provided by the seller.
