A return to normalcy for OBS, horse industry
“It seems very good out there, Wojciechowski told the Star-Banner before Wednesday’s auction kicked off. “The consigners have brought a lot of good horses to market, and there seems to be people here to buy them.”
After last year’s sale was pushed back two months, which pushed OBS’s June sale to July, Wojciechowski felt being back in their normal calendar position “was kind of like putting on an old pair of shoes,” noting the industry’s desire to return to normalcy.
