In this week's episode, we join forces with Jessica Redman from Benchmark Sporthorses and discuss how to become a reputable buyer through the eyes of one of the most prolific resellers in the US. We go over some of the characteristics that resellers in a busy program would like to see from buyers, general etiquette, and things you can do to gain their trust and respect throughout the buying process. Jessica reveals some industry tips for making the sales process smooth for everyone involved and gives a few cautionary tales along the way. Special guest cameos of two of her cats!

OTTB Training & Sales
Benchmark Sport Horses is a training and sales barn located in Camden, Delaware. We specialize in acquiring thoroughbreds from racetracks all over the United States to be retrained and sold into new careers. Founded in 2007, it is the go-to place to find your next thoroughbred. Each thoroughbred is hand picked by Jessica based on conformation, athletic ability, temperament and soundness. We have a specialized program to address any issues found with feet, teeth, diet and body soreness. Each horse is allowed to rest and then is carefully restarted on the flat, over fences, on trails, out cross country and more.
The farm is comprised of 25 stalls with small pens to transition horses from track to turnout. Lovely grass pastures that are rotated weekly. Each paddock has slow feed hay boxes to keep the horses eating throughout the day. 100x200 sand ring with lights and a 40x80 sand lunging/free jump area. Trails directly off the farm. Wash stall and tack room. We have many mesh round pends and small paddocks set up for transiting horses into turnout.
