    Get extra exposure and recognition with your consignment in the various ranch horse events.

PRIVATE SALES:  Consignor agrees to not privately sell the horse once consigned to the WYO Ranch Horse Sale.  To withdraw your original consigned horse from the WYO Ranch Horse Sale it must be injured or sick and must have a vet release and photo to waive the no sale/no show fee. Management feels this is unfair to the consignors and buyers who have traveled to attend the sale. All horses brought to the sale must be consigned and go through our auction ring. We will leave it up to the integrity of the seller to forward any commission on horses that go through the ring as no sales, but are sold because of the advertising and efforts of the WYO Ranch Horse Sale.
