GUTHRIE, TX—OCTOBER 20, 2015—The Return to the Remuda Sale, held at the historic Four Sixes Ranch in Guthrie, Texas, October 10, had a million-dollar sale day for the second year in a row. The annual autumn sale is produced in partnership between the Four Sixes Ranch, Pitchfork Land & Cattle Co., Tongue River Ranch, Beggs Cattle Co. This year, W. T. Waggoner Estate and Wagonhound Land and Livestock also consigned horses to the sale.

Three of the ranches are winners of the AQHA Best Remuda Award, which recognizes the foundation that ranch horses laid for the American Quarter Horse. In addition to offering some of the best ranching-bred horses in the industry, the sale also serves as an unofficial reunion for American Quarter Horse enthusiasts. The weekend kicked off on October 9 with sale horse demonstrations and an evening meal.

This year’s Return to the Remuda Sale offered 154 quality horses from the Beggs Cattle Company, Four Sixes Ranch, Pitchfork Land & Cattle Company, Tongue River Ranch, W. T. Waggoner Estate and Wagonhound Land and Livestock. The one-day sale grossed nearly $1,200,000 with a combined sale average of $8,047 on all horses sold. Aged geldings, coveted for their ranch foundation start and proven work record, averaged $13,017, and 2-year-old geldings averaged $10,008.

Saturday morning began with the ranches supporting the American Quarter Horse Foundation through a benefit auction that featured items such as custom-made his and her buckle sets, spurs, director’s chairs, and a hand-made quirt featuring the Return to the Remuda ranch brands. The auction raised $9,400.

The annual Return to the Remuda sale has provided the opportunity to purchase horses from legendary ranches that have been refining and perfecting American Quarter Horses for more than a century. These sale horses carry the bloodlines of generations of horses, whose ranch skills, intelligence and athletic ability today still translates to success in the arena or on the ranch.

“We had another great sale with quality buyers from twenty-nine states and Mexico,” said Dr. Glenn Blodgett, Four Sixes Ranch Horse Division Manager. “The demand for talented ranching-bred horses is evident by the sale hitting the million-dollar mark for the second consecutive year.”
