Ashford Horse Market, Kent

[Charlie77]

Any one been in recent years? do they have many horses for sale? I might go next week as thinking about getting another yearling, so that mine has some one to play with, are there many young ones there?

 

[Lill]

Have you checked their catalogue?

www.hobbsparker.com i think or .co.uk the catalogue for next Thus is on there now.

 

[Charlie77]

Wonder if they have a many late entries? Just had a look on line!

 

[Lill]

A few probably, not loads though!

 

[0ldmare]

Oooh I like the look of Lot 22

 

[Charlie77]

Lot 22 look lovley!! Might see what lots 1&2 look like on the day?

 

[Lill]

Lot 12 is particularly interesting to me.

She is well bred, by B's uncle at his Babylon Stud in Kent, am wondering why such a horse has ended up at market.

Babylon Revelation is the sire of our two welsh yearlings.

Lill - We bought a yearling about 23 years ago from Heathfield Market out of Babylon Little Pearl - cracking pony (Welsh x Hackney), only made about 13.2hh, went JA and won one of the old Toggi Finals at Stoneleigh!

I went last year and there were loads of Shetties for sale, plus Welsh A type youngstock, plus a few family pony types and older ones (and ropey ones!)

I met someone there I knew, selling a kids pony. They said they were fed up to the back teeth with people coming to try it: messing with it, not turning up, being a complete pain in the a*se generally that they thought the easiest thing would be just to sell the pony at auction.

I nice family bought it for a reasonable price = no hassle!
