Let's Go Foxtrot

Update - Dampier Sale

Several nice horses passed through the tent today at L.D. and Sheila Dampier's sale. Overcoming a rough, wet Friday start, Saturday's weather was a pleasant surprise. If you are in the market for a reasonably priced trail horse you missed a great opportunity in Lebanon. As always, L.D. had 15 - 20 ready to go trail prospects and another 20 found their way to the sale. Remember When, a 13 yr. old gelding owned by Kent Hyde of Springfield and purchased by R.L. Webb of Cabool, topped at $3,500. Another handful sold in the $2,500 + range. Most going to out of state buyers. Another 10 entries were bid into the $3,000 range, but in the end were no-saled. In a rough estimate, half of the consignees were a color other than sorrel.

All points show an upswing in the good horse market.

L.D. Dampier's Sale - Gateway to Spring

The 3rd of April will mark the 27th Annual Production and Consignment sale for L.D. Dampier and family. The Dampier sale has been a first sign and rite of Spring for foxtrotter enthusiasts of all kinds since its inception. More than just a sale, L.D.'s is the first time many friends, competitors and acquaintances will meet since last year's Celebration. The alleyways are a breeding ground for rumors of the next great show prospect hitting the ring and the successes and failures of the winter's conquests. If this isn't enough to get you to Lebanon the first weekend of April, you will be glad to know that several nice horses will be sold as well. Buyers from all over the nation make the pilgrimage to SW Missouri each spring to peruse L.D.'s wares, many who have made the same trip for years. Their is always a great selection of trail horses and, on a more than rare occasion, you can pick up a worthwhile prospect for the show ring. There will be a horse of every size, color, breeding and function and a seller who will be more than willing to share its particulars.

For those of you who are reading this and won't be able to make the trip, L.D. and his wife Sheila accept bids over the phone. They are more than accommodating to anyone wanting further info about a sale entry. L.D., the consummate salesman, would appreciate any opportunity to help you find what you need.  Give them a call if you need a catalog, have questions, or would like to inquire about bidding; 417-532-3806, cell 417-533-2397.
