Scouting horses just like scouting NFL players

The process of finding a horse that could eventually become a star is actually very similar to what an NFL head coach and general manager experience at the yearly NFL scouting combine.

In the video above, the president of Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, Aron Wellman, keeps a keen eye on how a horse moves around in order to make sure that he or she is worthy of being purchased.

The similarities between the NFL scouting combine and landing a horse ends with the auction process.

Wellman gives us a look inside what it’s like to be active in an auction where millions of dollars are being thrown around.
