I was very impressed by Barretts' new inspector, Kim Lloyd. He's a real horseman, not office management. He was focused, observant and fair in his evaluations. Accepted five of mine for the sale, so natually I'm pleased. The only one of mine which wasn't accepted was only slightly offset, while many in last year's Barretts sale were far worse. A good sign that Lloyd is setting a higher standard.

I agree, Kim did a nice job, and very skilled. We wrote Barrett's pres a letter of thanks.

Also, he showed up right on time, something we didn't always get from others.

He took all of our good ones. We had no argument with the one he didn't take. I think we would have pulled her anyway.

Good luck with your horses in the sale, Michael.
