This partnership secures the world’s leading team of auction professionals, an important component to providing the premier experience that is synonymous with Standardbred Horse Sales Company. 

“We are very happy to have been able to do this multi-year contract with Mast Auctioneers," said Judy Casey, Executive Assistant of Standardbred Horse Sales Company. "Their level of professionalism is unmatched. We look forward to the future with this agreement in place.”

Casey added that Standardbred Horse Sales has always valued long-term relationships with auctioneers, pedigree readers, bid spotters, runners, crew and all auction personnel. 

Mast Auctioneers retains the leading auctioneers, ring-men and auction professionals from across the country. Led by Auction Industry icon Joseph Mast, the team is focused on providing outstanding service, delivering exceptional results. 

“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Standardbred Horse Sales Company," stated Mast. "It’s an honour to move forward with this multi-year agreement, solidifying our world-class auction team with such an industry leader in the horse sales industry.
