About Triangle Sales Co., Inc.
In 1980 John and Cindy Bowling formed Triangle Sales Co., Inc.,
conducting Quarter and Paint Horse consignment sales in Missouri,
Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Oklahoma. John Bowling, who passed away in
1994, had long been one of the nation's leading breeders of Quarter
Horses with his "Gray Horse Capital of the World" always at or near the
top of the AQHA standings. Ironically, it was a dun, not a gray that John
bred who would have the greatest impact on the breed: Hollywood Jac 86, one
of the most influential reining horses ever and still among the all time
top 10 leading NRHA sires.
In 1983 John and Cindy moved Triangle to Shawnee, Oklahoma and began conducting sales exclusively in Oklahoma, first at the Oklahoma City Fairgrounds and then moving the sale site permanently to the Heart of Oklahoma Exposition Center in Shawnee. Triangle is one of the primary lessees of the Expo Center with the Expo facility expanding over the years to meet the needs of the company.
The Expo Center is a modern facility boasting over 168,000 square feet under roof, making it a great place to market horses in all weather conditions. Each section of the facility is heated and the sale arena is also air conditioned in the summer months. Horses consigned are stalled in their own separate box stalls and the facility can comfortably house over 700 head.
Currently, Triangle conducts six sales each year at the Expo including the Winter Classic in January; Mid-Winter Classic in February; Spring Consignment Sale in April; Summer Consignment Sale in June; Mid-Summer Consignment Sale in August and the Fall Consignment Sale in October. Buyers and sellers from nearly every state and many foreign countries attend on a regular basis.
Triangle Sales Co., Inc. is licensed in the State of Oklahoma and has
voluntarily complied with bonding requirements, rules and regulations
of the USDA Packers & Stockers Administration since its inception.
The company maintains a custodial account that is subect to audit regularly.
Today, Triangle Sales continues to successfully operate under the guidance of Cindy Bowling Garner.
