GO BEHIND THE SCENES IN HARRISBURG AT ONE OF THE WORLD'S BIGGEST HORSE AUCTIONS!

11/13/2018

The annual Harrisburg Sale is where so many of the horses you see on track get their start. Held each November at the giant PA Farm Show Complex, it's a massive five-day event where horses sell for as much as $500,000 each and top horse owners and trainers from around the globe descend to bid on and buy the most promising equine athletes. 

In this special report, we talk to some of the top players and show you how horses get from the sale ring to the racetrack. We check out Delaware Valley University's hands-on program, where students actually breed and sell horses to fully prepare them for their future careers in racing. We also talk to the sale's first-ever female auctioneer, trainers, sale officials, the "shippers" who actually transport horses by land and air to homes as far away as Europe and Australia, and more!
