 Broodmares for Sale – Rick Hemmett

Rick has a couple of real nice broodmares for sale or lease. One is a black Grand Champion, Circuit Champion Halter Mare and the other, a chestnut with a blanket, is a granddaughter of Hall of Famer, Dari Maid and out of a National Champion Halter Mare.

Since his stud died last summer, he won't breeding horses in the near future and would hate to see these mares not contributing to the improvement of the breed.
