"It's always nerve-wracking to be the first sale of the year offering a large quantity of breeding stock," said Leif Aaron, Fasig-Tipton's director of digital sales. "Broodmares in foal were clearly in high demand—which makes perfect sense given the time of year.
"Our numbers are up significantly from 2024 to 2025: horses offered, sold, average, and gross are all showing major increases. The number of registered bidders rose by 25%, which is an incredible jump.
"Gains like that don't happen by chance. This was the result of a massive collective effort. We turned around a 400-horse catalog in just 10 days—an enormous undertaking. That meant vetting, photos, seller descriptions, and mountains of paperwork. Buyers, too, put in the work to study the catalog and come prepared.
"It was a true team effort from everyone involved, and we're deeply grateful to our customers for giving us the opportunity to put on this show."
