Bloodstock Services was created to assist a select group of
clients with all of their needs in acquiring horses and maintaining
an equine portfolio that offers value both now and in years
to come. Whether it's recommending purchases at public auction
or privately, or re-examining current holdings, BBS offers
the proven knowledge, reliability and honesty you'll be hard-pressed
to find elsewhere.
Bruce
Brinkerhoff has years of experience in analyzing pedigrees
and performing conformation evaluations, and also has his
finger on the pulse of the Standardbred and Thoroughbred markets.
That
knowledge makes him especially well-suited to make recommendations
on what yearlings, broodmares or racehorses will suit a particular
client's stable, regardless of budget or location. Bruce can
also make culling recommendations and what market is best
suited for bringing the most money for those horses.
With
a lifelong interest in livestock and horse racing, and with
a successful 25-year career in the horse racing industry,
Bruce comes well-equipped to serve clients in all these ways.
Along
with his private business, Bruce currently handles pedigrees
and inspections for the Lexington Selected Sales Company,
a position he has held since 1998. Prior to that he was a
well-respected research assistant at the U.S. Trotting Association
in Columbus, Ohio, and had previously worked as division manager
and/or breeding manager at several Standardbred and Thoroughbred
farms in the East, Midwest and Kentucky.
Bruce’s
wife, Melissa, brings a strong equine background along with
her experience in professional customer service and project
management to assist the clients of Brinkerhoff Bloodstock
Services.
Bruce
and Melissa reside in Hilliard, Ohio with their two sons,
J.B. and Brad. The entire family is involved with 4-H and
the Franklin County Fair. J.B. is entering his third year
with market hogs. He has grossed over $2,100 in sales his
first two years taking pigs to the fair. Brad is starting
his second year in Beginning Horse Management and will be
taking his pony "Andy" to the fair in the Walk-Trot
division. In 2008, his first year in Musical Freestyle Reining,
he took home second place.
