What was TBSHoliday?

Post by Anna Nowak »

I've seen "Sold at: TBSHoliday" on quite a few horses and I'm wondering what TBSHoliday was. I mean, I know it's an auction, but I want to know more, what it was about and all that stuff. I see the horses have only a sire and have generally been sold for a quite low price? It kind of reminds me of those IRL sired mare auctions but those sell for way more.

It was a Christmas present style sale where people got to buy Steward made mixers for low prices, except those mixers were a bit over powered and there was a lot of drama surrounding them. People weren’t happy because some missed out on this and then ended up falling behind in the division.

So I'm guessing that kind of sale is out of the question 🤔

I’m down just for the drama. But we had a gp sale not long ago. Everyone was allowed 1 stud or mare for 45k gp. They were all the same stats and roughly 2nd tier studs. The mares are meh at best

The holiday studs helped with diversity, but killed the stud market for everyone who had been working hard at producing home bred studs.
If studs are created out of thin air and sold for close to nothing, they should never be made better than what is already offered on the market.
