We received a wonderful update from the owner of 2016 PSS Auction horse Rubijana! She's in love and they are having a wonderful time together. We are so thrilled to have found Rubijana such a perfect home!

Amazing impressions from this year's PSS Auction, Gala Evening, and PSS University. Lots of happy new horse owners and so many great memories made. Thanks to the entire PSS team to make this possible! Moving the event to the indoor arena turned out to add a lot of positive atmosphere and flair to the show.

Thank you Leah Feliz for your encouraging words: "We all had a great time and were very excited to see how well the auction went. It was a beautiful collection of horses this year!" With an average hammer price of $30,928 and lots of happy new horse owners, PSS 2016 comes to a phenomenal conclusion.

The final featured horse of the day is Dark Knight: 2010 Hanoverian Gelding Der Designer / Sandro Hit / Donnerhall... Dark Knight is a promising talent for Dressage. He has earned scores as high as 79.5% at Second Level and has not scored below 70% the entire season. With confirmed flying changes and expressive movements, this Hanoverian shooting star is well on his way to the FEI Level. With Dark Knight, we offer one of the best young horses on the West Coast for sale. Dark Knight’s character is calm, playful and safe for an amateur rider. The kids love him and have taken him on trail rides. But when you ask him to work, he is all business and gives his best to please the rider.
