At a sale, a seller doesn't have an agent. He has the consignor who is selling the horse for him. The consignor is really the agent. The consignors are usually not the agents buying horses for people at these same sales. The consignors are busy showing their consignment and trying to get all the horses in their consignment sold. They don't have time to be acting as agents for buyers. A buyer's trainer is often times his agent.
