Public Auction
As a consignor at all major venues in the Northeast, the Thomas J. Gallo III Sales Agency selects the right auction to showcase your offspring and bring your breeding program from mating to fruition: a successful sale at the right auction for your horse.
If we consign quality horses, we'll have the ability to sell a horse well beyond expectations at a major auction and clients will consign with our agency again at the next auction. With that in mind, we now focus exclusively on a smaller quantity of better quality horses and work with our consignment clients by stating at the beginning of the process through proper mare selection and mating advice. By approaching sales with such an intense focus on quality, we're able to take greater responsibility for, and have more positive impact on, the eventual outcome.
Consigning horses at public auction is a gratifying process and the results - sales results and client satisfaction - usually speak for themselves. Tom Gallo is continuously able to seek out the right mares, mate them to the right stallions, and repeatedly realize very profitable results for our clients.
We use our expertise in mare selection, stallion selection, mating, marketing, and sales preparation to achieve results in top-quality offspring, profitable sales experience and, most importantly, client satisfaction.
