Legacy Reining Breeders Sale Debuts The Designer Sale
The evening before the main sale, something entirely new takes center stage this year. The inaugural Designer Sale is a black-tie affair set for Friday, Sept. 18, kicking off with cocktail hour, live music, and dinner at 7 p.m. Dress for the occasion: trade everyday arena attire for polished dress boots and a crisp felt hat. It’s an evening worthy of the elite yearlings set to sell.
The exclusive offering features 20 of the top reining-bred yearlings consigned by leading sellers, including Tamarack Ranch, Toyon Ranch, Tom McCutcheon Reining Horses, Smith Ranch, and Tremblay Reining Horses. Those unable to attend in person can still bid online through cci.live.
BIG is their nature
ThorSport Ranch (formerly Cardinal Ranch) is home to the largest private covered arena in the world — over 60,000 square feet — plus a show barn with 200-plus stalls. Since purchasing the facility in early 2025, ThorSport has made its commitment to reining unmistakable, backing the industry through sponsorships from its brands Tenda and FarmPaint.
