We concentrate on one thing only... selling our clients’ horses at auction.

We are not simply agents new to the business receiving on-the-job training. We are not spread thin with other activities such as stallion promotion, insurance, private sales, etc. We are not consignors without physical facilities to care for our clients’ horses -- the Eaton partners operate four thoroughbred farms. We are committed to protecting our clients’ best interest... not our own.

Our results speak for themselves:
  • The Eaton organization has consigned more than TWICE as many CHAMPIONS as any other consignor
  • In 2007, Horse of the Year, Curlin and English Channel were added to that list.
  • Eaton has sold the highest priced filly in the United States in each of the last three years and remains a perennial leading consignor at the five major U.S. yearling sales.
  • Eaton was the leading consignor of Grade 1 Stakes winners in both 2006 and 2007!
Whether you are a buyer or a seller, you can rely the Eaton Management teams’ 150-plus years of combined experience in the industry to provide you the results you need. Our efforts are focused on the quality of our clients’ horses that produces stellar results in the sale ring and on the track year after year.

With our seasoned management team, we concentrate our efforts on the quality, not quantity, of horses we sell. It is this uncompromising focus on the quality of our clients’ horses, as well as our time-tested knowledge of the industry, that produces stellar results year after year.

We treat our clients honestly, professionally, and fairly, and we provide our clients’ horses the same care and concern as we would if they were our own. Equally, we commit to provide our buying clients with complete disclosure of all available physical and medical information regarding each horse.

Call us to experience the Eaton Sales difference for yourself.
