consistency is key for the whc
ranch horse sale 30th anniversary
Written by Lizzie Iwersen
The Western Heritage Classic Ranch Horse Sale celebrates its 30th
anniversary in 2024 and has proudly maintained its defining characteristics
during its lifespan. Staying the course has proven to be the sale’s most
respected trait and credit is given to the group of men calling the shots.
Ranchers and horsemen Phil Guitar, Bill Smith, Tom Moorhourse, Billy
Green and John Anderson are all equally dedicated to preserving the
integrity of the WHC Sale Horse.
“We’re all friends and we all agree on nearly everything. We seldom disagree
with one another,” said Moorhouse.
First, the men agree that choosing the right consignors is the most important
component to sale success.
“We want whoever is consigning horses to be in the ranching business,”
Guitar says. “They have to have a legitimate ranching operation. It’s a ranch
horse sale, and we intend to keep it that way.”
The hand-selected consignors are held to a high standard of honesty and are
expected to bring horses they stand behind.
