Was thinking of going, but the buyers premium puts me off.
Seems to me its one of those clearance sales with her name added!

 

[MizElz]

hmmmmmm interesting you say that, i did wonder why all those nice Toddy rugs are still 'packaged'.....it seems a bit suspect! i want a nice witney blanket; doesnt look to be any listed tho

wat prices do these things go for at auction anyway?!?!

 

[silversox]

I shall probably go just to have a nosey and meet friends. I only live 5 minutes away so will see you there!! Mind you, don't know what any of you look like!!!

I posted this on the news section the other day and I believe Hen has held a few auctions of this type before.
I would have gone myself if I had lived nearer and had the cash, don't do or have either so sadly have to forego this one.

Sorry to be thick, but is she giving up/stopping training?
Just being nosey....

 

[silversox]

No, she's not giving up training - she is just inclined to 'collect' stuff over the years which are surplus to requirements. Every few years she has a sale.

The list sounds like nothing more but a boot sale - and 15% +VAT premium - lord above!

Went along today and met loads of old friends; didn't buy much, just 4 hi-viz vests for £7. By the time they added on all the extras I paid £11 odd!!!

Quite a few of the lots, e.g. several G.P. saddles, were added by other vendors. Most of the stuff sold well; quite a few hunting and general horsey people there - not so many race-horse trainers, I noticed.

I mentioned this to Terry Biddlecombe who said 'There's a lot here come just to be nosey' and I must admit I was one of them!!!
