Thank you to all who participated in the 7th RCMP Horse Auction and we look forward to seeing you in October 2011!
The RCMP Horse Auction is a prestigious equine event that is typically held every other year. The horses offered for sale come from the RCMP breeding program in Pakenham Ontario. As a buyer you purchase horses with wonderful dispositions, many have been well trained, Hanoverian certified, from the World famous Musical Ride breeding program.
Surplus horses selected for the auction includes a mixture of foals, broodmares, and former Musical Ride horses. These fine horses are turned over to the RCMP Foundation (RCMPF) for sale.
Since 1995 the bi-annual horse auctions have generated enough funds to allow the RCMP Foundation to provide over $600,000 to the breeding program. These funds have allowed the RCMP to further enhance the breeding program that supplies horses for the internationally renowned Musical Ride.
