With the start of the Gold Country Horse Sale, he is excited to showcase some of the best ranch and performance horses in the area while making sure that there is something affordable for everyone. Providing a quality sound horse is a must for Cameron, and he feels that this sale will provide something for anyone in the buying market as far as price and horse quality.
