All Boon (photo taken 10-13-06 by Sally Harrison) brought an all-time record price of $750,000 for an American Quarter Horse weanling at auction on Wednesday, Dec. 13 during the National Cutting Horse Association Futurity Sales in Fort Worth.
Consigned by Rocking W Ranch, Mineral Wells, TX, which is owned by Wal-Mart heiress Alice Walton, the red roan filly is sired by Peptoboonsmal and out of Walton-bred Boon San Kitty, an NCHA Horse of the Year and earner of $561,767.
All Boon was purchased by Kenneth Jackson, Owensville, MO, whose company Jahabow Industries, produces display cases and store fixtures for major retailers in the U.S. and abroad. Last year, Jackson purchased the high-selling weanling colt at the 2005 NCHA Futurity Sales, Cat And Dulce, consigned by Lonnie and Barbara Allsup, for $100,000.
The highest price ever paid for a weanling at auction was $2.7 million for a Thoroughbred colt during the 2006 Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale in Lexington, KY. A filly sold at a record $2.4 million for a female weanling during the same sale.
The NCHA Futurity Sales continue through Sunday, December 17 at Will Rogers Equestrian Center in Fort Worth.
