Equine Sales of Louisiana announces its grand opening in Opelousas with the 2012 inaugural yearling sale Sept. 5 at 10 a.m. It will feature 282 yearlings recruited from local and national consignors.

"Our new sales pavilion is built with as strong a foundation and structure as our company," said Harold Forman. "Response to the sale catalog has been phenomenal, and we anticipate a tremendous sale on Sept. 5."

Equine Sales of Louisiana will hold a preview gala event party at the pavilion Sept. 4 from 6-9 p.m., giving the patrons an opportunity to tour the new facility, examine yearlings prior to the sale, and join in the grand opening celebration.

"We firmly believe we are setting a new standard for Thoroughbred auctions in Louisiana, and anticipate carrying this forward to our two-year-old sale in the spring of 2013," said Foster Bridewell, sales director of Equine Sales of Louisiana.
