What a year 2024 was- we rode out the highs and lows of the market and are excited to continue growing and come back for it all again in 2025!
Some of the sale highlights of 2024 included:
New High Seller of $50,000
New Reserve High Seller of $40,000
Total Average on Riding Horses: $15,780
Top 10 Average on Riding Horses: $28,950
While the stats on our sales and website/ social media visitors rapidly increased we also had some incredible opportunities come to us such as partnering with Central Montana Reined Cow Horse Association, Montana Reined Cow Horse Futurity, the NILE AND extending our platform to accommodate Stock Dogs!
During this time of growth I have really taken the time to remember what the main goal of Big Sky Horse Sales, LLC was all about- offering a platform based on honest intent where buyers feel confident to purchase and we are confident in the consignors we bring to our table.
With that being said we will be making some changes to our platform in 2025.
Starting January 1st of 2025 all private treaty riding horse consignments will be required to have a pre-vet exam, this will be the same exam all of our auction consignments are required to have. As stated above, I want buyers to feel confident in their purchase through Big Sky Horse Sales. This will be a basic health/ lameness exam, at a certain price point radiographics will be another requirement.
We will ONLY be accepting consignments with quality photos and video coverage. This means to either hire a professional photographer or learn to take your own quality sale photos. The internet is flooded with horses for sale- and we want all Big Sky Horse Sales consignments to standout in the best way possible.
With this being said- we are devoted to improvements on our end as well such as continuing to grow the Big Sky Horse Sales brand and name. I am excited to be adding to our team, continuing to partner with reputable associations and improving the technicals of SEO, advertisements and so on.
I thank you all for a great year and look forward to many more to come!
Sincerely,
Crystal Andersen
Big Sky Horse Sales, LLC
