What is Voute Sales?

Updated

Voute Sales (voutesales.com) is the website of Ted Voute, a UK-based thoroughbred bloodstock consignor and sales agent. The site presents him as an internationally renowned consignor of quality bloodstock who has prepared horses for the world's top sales on behalf of leading breeders since 1986. If you are a breeder looking to consign a horse, a buyer seeking representation at auction, or an owner interested in farm consultancy, this is the kind of operation the site describes.

What Voute Sales does

The site's navigation and text point to a set of related bloodstock services rather than a single product:

  • Thoroughbred consignments — preparing and presenting horses for major sales. This is the core of the business, with results tracked both in the sales ring and on the racetrack.
  • Purchases — buying bloodstock, listed alongside consignment under track success.
  • Farm consultancy — advisory work for farms.
  • Bloodstock agent services — acting for clients in the bloodstock market.
  • Nominations — stallion nominations.
  • International representation — the site emphasises an international client base and worldwide sales.

The site also links to sections for News, Sales Venues, Press Cuttings, Track Success (split into Consignment and Purchases), and a video page.

Who runs it

Ted Voute is the principal figure. According to the site, he has produced horses for the world's top sales on behalf of leading breeders since 1986, and results in the sales ring and on the racetrack established him as "Europe's premier Sales Consignor." The site is dated 2017 in its footer and was designed by Zarbi (Wirral Web Design).
