UC Davis Horse Barn
Annual Production Sale
“A Sale with History and Tradition”
Coming June 2027
Mark your calendars for our 34th Annual Production Sale! This event is the culmination of UC Davis Horse Barn's student intern and equine breeding programs. Each year, undergraduate interns have the opportunity to participate in hands-on learning centered around every step of horse production. From collecting stallions and breeding mares to training yearlings, hard-working students produce the horses and mules that are offered at our annual sale. Proceeds from each year's auction support the next years' internship opportunities. This year will feature a sale showcase and open house event where we invite you to visit the Horse Barn, preview the sale horses, and meet the hard-working student interns. All bidding will take place online through SmartAuctions so you can bid from anywhere!
More information on our 2027 Annual Production Sale is coming soon!
