OVER $400,000.00
COLLECTED AT 2008 STALLION AUCTION!
Magnum Psyche Breeding Sells
for $50,000.00!!!
We welcomed in a record number of exhibitors
and crowds to the 2008 Iowa Gold Star Arabian Horse Futurity
over Labor Day Weekend. The barns
were full of some of the finest Arabians and Half Arabians from
all around the country. Stall count was at an all time
high of 590. 2008's
Progressive Barn Party was the biggest and best one to date!! Food
was available in the Horse Barn, Cattle Barn, AND Vendor Barn.
Our 2008 Live Stallion Presentation also stepped it up a notch by
introducing RFD Television star - Tommy Garland - who carried
our flag during the opening ceremonies. We had 34 stallions
participate in the Thursday night live presentation -- the most
stallions we've ever had perform in one night. After the
presentation, Midwest hosted the DA Valentino party at their stalls
and did private showings of Valentino at that time. On Friday
the Gold Star hosted the prestigious Magnum Psyche Futurity with
Vico Rocco, Bob Boggs, and Mr Las Vegas -- Wayne Newton as judges.
The room was PACKED with spectators! We had Channel 13,
Fox News, KCCI Channel 8, RFD TV, and PBN all out with cameras
filming all the activities on the
fairgrounds.
Radio stations were also advertising our event across the midwest. Our
purebred
stallion
auction completed the weekend by
breaking all previous
records and topped $380,000.00 in bids. That
total, added to a record final total for the Partbred Auction threw
the complete total over $400,000.00. If the excitement
of the stallion auction wasn't enough -- the fun atmosphere of the
Pirate costume party added to the fun as well as our Capt Jack
entertainer!! We had many guests show up in boots,
bandanas, eye patches, and dreadlocks. The Gold
Star Girls outdid themselves as the Red and Black pirate wenches.
This was a three day party that will stay in our memories for a long
time!!
Congratulations to our "Gold Star" Horse winner - Alison
Ventling of Urbandale!

prize money and split the winnings giving 80% to the horse owner and 20% to
the Stallion Owner. We know that without the support of the stallion
owners, we would have no futurity.)
