Now most of you have been to a horse auction at one time or another,... you know, blue jeans, western hat and boots. NOT SO with the Arabian auction. Men in tuxedos, ladies in gowns, minks and diamonds. The auction was held inside one of the big casinos in Atlantic City, NJ. (Actually on the island of Brigantine, just outside of Atlantic City.) The actual auction was held in one of the theaters in the casino, and the stage was lined with flowers, and so forth. The horses came onto the stage to the sound of blasting triumphant music, with nostrils flaring and tails held high. I know it sounds far out to Fjord people, but it was incredibly awesome and beautiful. To the best of my knowledge that was the only auction of that type held on the East coast, as the horses were going for approximately half of what they could have gotten for them on the West coast.
