Selling a horse has its challenges, meeting potential buyers at your home place or at the barn you board can have scheduling issues or the arena might not be available. Or the stable won’t allow outside riders.  

Consider consigning your horse to the Idaho Horse Expo’s  Blue Ribbon Horse Sale.  Bringing thousands of horse enthusiasts to one place, some of these attendees might just be in the market for a nice new horse. Thousands potentially will see your horse.
