Inglis Easter highlights from Rich Hill

NZ based nursery Rich Hill Stud will offer another high-quality draft at the upcoming Inglis Easter yearling sale.  The Matamata based farm’s long association with Inglis was highlighted by its $1.30 million Zabeel sister to Zarita last year.

“We’ve got a really nice, even bunch of horses to present this year,” Rich Hill’s John Thompson said.  “They’ve all done very well and they are all by proven sires who are getting the job done with outstanding results and this line-up should have widespread appeal among buyers.”
