The Ocala Breeders' Sales Company begins its 2014 sale

calendar with the annual Winter Mixed Sale. The catalog may be viewed

the printer.

A total of 809 horses have been cataloged to date for the

three-day sale, scheduled to begin Wednesday with Hip No. 1-254 selling in the Consignor Preferred session.

The Thursday session will be devoted to the
