Yes i think it's a great idea - this is only the third year of the sale but it seems to have taken off. For buyers, you can see horses over all types of natural fences & try them over the course yourself.

You could use an agent to look in Ireland for you? Or if you could spare one day off work there is a special sale of 53 select hunters on next Tuesday in Co Limerick: http://www.traditionalirishhorse.com/ Go to Show & Go page for catalogue & more info. We have a horse in it, lot 17...

This one is in Ireland but my husband is selling a 15.3hh safe as a house strawberry roan cob. PM if you want any more details. http://www.donedeal.ie/horses-for-sale/15-3hh-all-rounder/6897919

Great report as always & I too can sympathise with you on the contact lenses, it's very dizzying to only have one ;)

He is fabulous Bazzel ! I think he was originally advertised on Donedeal over here too -did he come from Limerick or Kilkenny??

I've seen some very nice TB x Connemaras -what do you want it to do? This one is for sale in Ireland at the moment (I have no connection to this ad by the way) http://www.donedeal.ie/horses-for-sale/horse/6259418 Or you could go Connemara x Irish Sport Horse...

Holy crap I'd hate to see what the open course looked like if those were the intermediate fences! Great report & well done on fifth place, looking forward to your next report!!!

Ah you sound very similar to me. My mare is a homebred that I broke myself & have been working on since then. We just started riding club eventing in August & totally chuffed with ourselves :-) Best of luck with your mare!

Aw well done to you both. Onwards and upwards!

You're very welcome both, I've currently got a part-bred 16hh Connemara mare who has started eventing and a 14.3hh Connie x Welsh gelding that I hunted all last season so I'm a huge fan myself :-)

Here's something for the Connie fans - a snapshot of the Clifden Connemara Pony Show http://irishhorse.tv/90th-annual-connemara-pony-show/

Yep, I'm with Ruth83, the BHS bashing can get over the top in here sometimes. I've got my AI through BHS exams (including a failed attempt at Stage 3 when I was underprepared) and at every single exam I've had two horses to ride on the flat. I would suspect that if the OP's daughter did not...

God I'm really sorry for your loss Amage but if it's any comfort it sounds like you did an amazing job to give your horse back his health and his spirit. Chin up x
