The Horse Sale at Rancho Rio took place on Friday, March 5, in Wickenburg, Arizona, in conjunction with the National Team Roping (NTR) National Finals VII. The 66 consignments at the sixth annual sale drew spectators and buyers from all over the U.S. and Canada and saw record sales of more than $2.5 million—nearly double the record-breaking $1.3 million commissioned in 2020. With 52 horses sold, the overall sale average was $48,000.
Smartys Dunny set a new sale record when he sold for $250,000 at lot #29 to Bryan Beaver, Bucyrus, Kansas. A 2014 red dun gelding, “Captain,” was sired by Colonels Smart Spook by Smart Spook out of a granddaughter of Hollywood Dun It. The all-around performance horse was consigned to the sale by 26-time PRCA World Champion Cowboy Trevor Brazile, Decatur, Texas, along with sale agent Miles Baker, Stillwater, Oklahoma. Together they form Brazile and Baker Performance Horses and enthusiasts can expect to see more like this one coming out of their program in the future.
