Equine Sale Reports

Equine Sale Reports
Wednesday 10th September 2014
123 Horses, Ponies, Donkey’s and a Mule were
entered on the day which wasn’t a surprise as Autumn
is coming and next thing it will be winter and no one
wants to keep horses through the winter. It is back to
a strong buyers’ market, not many private buyers
bidding around the ring, many horses where
purchased by dealers to be taken to other auctions.
There is NO Meat trade at Beeston No direct buyers
come Beeston to buy horses and this is why they are
trailed from sale to sale (perhaps even more cruel). A
total of nearly 30 equine came from Ireland and where
presented for sale, totally in their working clothes some nice bred horses that just needed a bit of love, bringing
back in to some work and put some condition on, it must be a real opportunity for someone to turn some of
these equine in to a money earning business, by just giving many of them just a wash, brush and tidy their feet.
Many of the unwanted equine that come because of financial difficulties are an absolute bargain. Below are
some true prices gained in the sale rather than the bunkum seen on facebook.
Best price of the day went to 15.1hh 9yo Dun Gelding cob
for £880, next a beautiful golden buck skin 3yo Connemara
gelding, a coloured Irish x Cob Mare broken to ride at £600,
an 8yo 14.2hh Bay Gelding at £500, a 4yo Irish Draught X
Connemara described as he had jumped and hunted a few
times last summer and then turned away for the summer
reached £500, another Connie 4yo 14.2hh described
in the ring to be quiet to handle and had been
professionally broken sold for £460. A 12yo Bay
gelding cob described in the ring as ideal for a novice
sold for £430, a coloured Irish jumping pony 14yo sold
for £200, 2 7yo Section D type geldings 14.2-15hh sold
for £440 and £400 a big naughty Shetland type stallion
sold for £15 and a black one for £10, an 18yo registered Welsh broodmare sold to £180. A nice run of foals sold
for good money on the day they were out of some heavy stock approximately 5mo many to make 14.2hh+ sold
from £85 for colts to £240 for fillies. A couple of donkeys sold today topping at £300 for a Mare with a Jenny
foal, a big riding gelding that realised £160. Section A colt foals sold from £20 to £85, Section D’s to £110, from
Buxton a Shetland breeder sold a Mare and foal for £180 and a cheeky Shetland Stallion for £35. The two Irish
vendors entered approximately 30 horses and ponies a long distance to travel with little rest some big riding
horses in their working clothes and not shown with any tack sold to £4oo and an unbroken one at £450, with
some spit and polish I am sure these could be turned round and made in to some good looking horses perhaps
doubling your money? A consignment of 9 Coloured gypsy cob mares from River Meadows Stud sold unbroken
but nice quiet types which would take very little breaking topped at £270 from £100. A 7yo bay gelding by
Watermill Swatch sold due to the owner’s loss of job making £350, finally an amusing yearling Mule sold for
£140. Overall many of the prices achieved reflected in the quality of equine entered. Marketing your equine to
their best ability can pay dividends, Best quality horses and ponies are selling at a premium and with a crowd
bidding at you horse/pony etc can attract a better premium than just one person dictating a price to you. For

Saturday 20th September 2014
Almost 70 Equine came through the ring today, not a bad number considering that there was a number of other
horse sales on this day. Prices topped at £800 for a 10yo Irish Draught X Gelding that was broken to ride. Next
top price went to an 8yo Irish Bred Gelding at £760, a 10yo 14hh riding pony sold for £600. 16hh 5yo riding
Coloured Sports Horse. A Section C pony ideal for kids to ride sold for £190, Mares with foals (pictured) at foot
sold for between £50 and £120.
Two nice registered Fell ponies sold today one a 2yo realising £210 and a yearling at £50. Coloureds forward
today looked good value riders sold to £300 other ready to break or bring back in to work sold from £100 to
£180 an ideal money making scheme for someone with time on their hands. A 9yo riding Jack Donkey that was
sold due to it didn’t like other horses and realised £125. An entry of 12 horses that had come from Ireland
overnight looking exhausted to say the least! Only 4 sold £210 was best price for a 3yo Coloured filly, 2 others
made £140 a 7yo unbroken Registered Connemara mare and a 5yo Coloured breeding Mare, these horses
looked very cheap if you have got some time and wanted to make money these have got to be the purchase of
the day. Overall best sold on the day would be big riding horses anything that needed work would be of very
good value. For further information do not hesitate to contact Alastair Brown
