Description
The History of Tattersalls
The nation's oldest light horse market, Tattersalls was founded in 1892, when the well-known London and Newmarket sales company sought to expand its operations to North America. The Lexington property selected was eight blocks from the center of Lexington and adjacent to the Red Mile Trotting Track that was established in 1875.
The auction business was successful with various owners and management teams, as there was a great need for saddle and carriage horses. In the early 1900's, there were four sales annually, featuring mainly Standardbreds and Saddlebreds. During World War I, Tattersalls was a major sales artery, supplying horses to the French, British, and U.S. Governments.
In 1933, then famous horseman Bob Moreland consigned American Born to Tattersalls. The stallion commanded a final bid of $12,000.00 and, according to historian Susanne, this was the highest price that had ever been paid for an American Saddlebred. Tattersalls hosted production sales for Maryland Farm, Brentwood, Tennessee, as well as for Spindletop, Leatherwood, Ridgefield, and Reverie Knoll Farms.
