“This sale, per our dad’s instruction to us, said Dr. Raun’s daughter Kate Raun, “is a celebration of the Reedannland era. Dad and Mom wanted to share it with others and they wanted Jimmy to handle this auction. As sad as we are to lose them, we are happy to fulfill their desire to spread their love of Saddlebreds with others. When you shop with us, you’re perpetuating the Reedannland legacy. We thank you for that and look forward to seeing you here at the farm on March 7.”
“We are honored to handle this sale for the family of our dear friend Doc Raun,” said Jimmy Robertson, RES president. “Doc and Dotty Raun made immeasurable contributions to our industry and their community. Their stock and tack are of the finest quality. It’s a rare opportunity to acquire consignments from one of the country’s best Saddlebred operations, and we encourage all interested to be there or contact us to bid by phone.”
