What happens when a successful entrepreneur teams up with a rancher who has an idea? Horse Auction Block!
Horse Auction Block became the result of Tyrel Nelson’s idea to bring the ancient business of horse auctioning up to speed with the age of modern technology. Teaming up with Chad Chandlee, an entrepreneur and business leader, was the first step in making this happen. Countless meetings, web development sessions, conversations with horse sellers/buyers later, Horse Auction Block is now the simplest, trusted way to auction horses across America.
