About SMB Horse Sales Inc.
SMB Horse Sales, Inc. was established January 1, 2016 after more than a year of planning. Marcus and Sarah Blood originally came up with the idea after searching for a good horse for one of their six children and realizing honest and reliable sources were limited. After looking at multiple horses from online ads all over Utah, they realized how frustrated buyers could get looking for a good sound horse that lived up to the ad. This idea was reinforced when they decided to sell a well bred mare and were not able to get a spot in any of the existing consignment sales around Utah, as they were booked more than 6 months in advance or were invitation only. After realizing a significant need for consignment horse sales in the Utah area, Marcus and Sarah started the process of establishing SMB Horse Sales, Inc. to offer consignment horse sales in Utah and the surrounding areas.
Marcus and Sarah have both had a passion for horses since childhood. They both grew up spending as much time as possible around horses, and have shared that passion with their 6 children. The goal of SMB Horse Sales is to bring sellers and buyers together in a mutually beneficial, environment; where sellers can showcase their horses to multiple buyers and buyers can view multiple horses at one location. SMB Horse Sales, Inc. is licensed through the USDA (Registration # 22936) and we are bonded and insured. We are committed to ensuring all transactions are compliant with all regulations. Marcus and Sarah welcome feedback that will help offer better sale experiences for both buyers and sellers!
Our Goal
To provide a venue where sellers can showcase their horses to multiple buyers and buyers can view multiple horses, in a setting where both seller and buyer are assured honest and ethical transactions.
