How It Works
Gold Buckle Horse Sales will be working with Riata/Pink/Ruby Buckle stallion owners, breeders and contestants to sell their horses throughout the year via online certified sales. We have specifically tailored this plan to provide an avenue for buyers and sellers to easily accomplish their horse marketing needs. These online sales are for anyone that has a Pink, Ruby, or Riata Buckle horse that they would like to sell through our very own online certified sale.
In addition to the online certified sales, we will be adding a Racing Sale (online auction). Contestants will have the opportunity to consign their Open/Derby/Futurity horses to an online auction that will be held in conjunction with our races. Those watching the event will have the horses’ full description and X-rays (if provided) for viewing on the app. Consignments in the event sales will be subject to our panel’s approval.
After the auction has closed, Gold Buckle Sales will present the final bid to consignors so that they can choose to accept or pass. Sale results will be determined after each consignor has been contacted.
Gold Buckle Horse Sale is one of the leading online platforms and we are excited to now have a place for you and your clients to list their horses and sell them on our exclusive platform.

Riata Buckle Online Certified Sales
Gold Buckle is a proud exclusive partner of the Riata Buckle. We will be moving to sell top quality rope horses that will qualify for the Riata Buckle.
These horses will go through our Gold Buckle Certification process which includes Prescreened by our Panel and a Gold Buckle Pro Demo. Our online certified sale is for Riata and Non Riata Buckle rope horses.
Per their rules the Riata buckle is allowing un-nominated horses to compete for the next few years provided they are entered with a nominated Riata horse.
Gold Buckle has set up a sale incentive for ALL rope horses sold through our site. What does this mean? All Horses sold will be eligible for the sale incentive sidepot put up by Gold Buckle Horse Sale provided they meet the Riata rules.
Starting in 2023 Gold Buckle will pay up to 100k Riata sale incentive spread among all the divisions, to the highest placing horses that have been sold through our online sale.
80% percent of the Incentive money will be to the winners of the ropings and 20% will be paid back to the current consignors. Example, if you buy your next rope horse off our certified online sale and end up being the highest placing sale horse in your division you would be the first and highest payout for the sale incentive.
