I watched in awe as I heard the big, booming sound of the Auctioneer from inside the Auctioneers' box.

"Okay, let's get this action underway" I cheered as the first horse came out. "First up is a 5-year-old Chocolate colored Stallion... now here's a horse with some character, found in the wild as a baby, forced capture by Mr. Breyerwood, then separated from his mother... Who wants him?"
