OCALA, FL—Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company announced today that Andrew Fernung has been named to the position of assistant sales coordinator.
A lifelong Ocala resident, Fernung is continuing a family tradition of horsemanship. The son of the late renowned horseman John Fernung, Andrew Fernung joins OBS after spending eight years as assistant trainer for Eddie Woods Stable.
Prior to joining Angela and Eddie Woods, Fernung served as farm trainer at Journeyman Bloodstock from 2009-16 working alongside his aunt and uncle, Crystal and Brent Fernung.
“Being around good horseman and businesspeople alike on a daily basis is something I’m proud of and I look forward to using the traits learned in future endeavors,” the 35-year-old Fernung said. “To become a part of something so influential as OBS means the world to me. OBS has always been an integral part of me and my family’s life and I am grateful to be given the opportunity to be a part of the team.”
“Andrew is a welcome addition to the OBS team,” OBS President Tom Ventura added. “He is not only an excellent horseman, but the experience that he gained working with Eddie Woods and Journeyman Bloodstock on the selling end at the sales brings a valuable perspective to his role at OBS. He can build on the relationships he has developed interacting with buyers from around the world. Horses are in his blood and his passion to gain a deeper knowledge of the horse business will benefit OBS for years to come.”
