The Best Place to Buy and Sell Horses

Starting  in 2008—as the first ever driving horse sale—the PA Harness Horse Sale has since become one of the largest events for buying standardbreds in the US.

That’s because the sale’s goal is simple: provide the best place to buy and sell horses—meaning high-quality animals and a trustworthy, friendly environment for horse lovers.

So join the fun. And if you’ve something to sell, be sure to check out our forms for consigners, presenters and vendors.

Sound Horses and Trustworthy Vendors

A horse is a major investment—and nobody wants to get taken for a ride. (Unless the horse is pulling, of course.) That’s why all horses must have:

  • Negative Coggins test 6 months prior to sale
  • Clean health chart within 30 days of sale
  • And no horses allowed in building without proper health papers

Plus, many sellers stand by their horses with guarantees—so be sure to ask.
