Ray White: from homes to horses

Australia’s largest real estate group, Ray White, embarks on its first ever horse sale this week; the latest move in a century of diversifications that has included commercial real estate, hotel sales, livestock, rural property and marine transactions.

Hosted on the mid north coast of New South Wales, the Ray White EPIC Horse Sale commences on Friday with a campdraft and concludes on Sunday with the auction.

Event organiser, Ray White Rural Kempsey principal Mark Haywood, expects around 400 horse enthusiasts to attend the three-day event at Kempsey Showground to bid on the 80 registered stock and quarter horses.

Chairman of Ray White Rural and Livestock, Paul White, says the event is a natural evolution for their growing rural and livestock network of agencies across Australia.

“Horses have long been important for stock management in Australia, and this sale is a fitting evolution for our rural sales activities.”

“Mark Haywood has shown a great deal of initiative to bring the EPIC horse sale to life. We have no doubt it will be a huge local success,” Mr White said.

There will be 38 mares, 40 geldings and two stallions for sale at the event.

Pre-works commence Saturday 18 March at 1pm and the horse sale will run from 10am Sunday 19 March.
