The long-term commitment to training and preparation paid-off for students at Tocal College on Monday, with AuctionsPlus hosting the Tocal Approved Australian Stock Horse Sale. Held as an online only sale, facilitated through Hunter Valley agents Bowe & Lidbury, the overall result fell short of the 2021 sale, but exceeded the 2020 sale, grossing $200,500 for the 13 lots offered and sold.
The online only sale commenced at 10am Sunday 6th November, with the average price sitting at $14,000, with 260 bids placed before the timer started at 4pm Monday 7th November. The top price of the sale went to lot 12, “Tocal Tasmin”, which galloped away at $23,500. The three-year-old mare standing at 14.2 ½ hands had bids from seven different users across three states, for a total of 39 bids. Over the 13 lots sold, the nine geldings averaged $14,889, while the four mares averaged $16,625/head.
