British Breeders Sale

[Laafet]

before i get jumped on for being defamatory.

Cant wait to see the sale lots of top people are meant to be there to support and crofton is a lovely venue

we need more sales like this in this country then maybe just maybe ppl wont need to go abroad so bloody much!! lol. i havnt seen the catalogue yet, but its mainly warmblood studs woodlander etc etc

I see. Good idea and I quite agree about prices but there was a long thread on here a little while ago which proved that British breeders can be banging their heads against a brick wall as there is a very strong opinion out there that the only way to get a decent horse is to go abroad. What those people forget is that there is a very strong, active meat market for the vast majority that don't make the grade. British breeders tend to go for quality not quantity!!!! It's also a really stupid attitude as a lot of the stock is by continental stallions anyway with the extensive use of AI nowadays so there is no reason to go abroad. I notice in the catalogue that they hope to make it an annual event - that would be good!

Thank you Forester! Much relieved that everything is in the PM- am only working in the morning, so I CAN GO!!!

Might see you there!
Apparently only about 60 horses entered

 

[seabiscuit]

I've still got your number- I will send you a text when I am there!

 

[Laafet]

we've got about thirteen going from here- two showjumping bred youngsters of which the three year old is all but broken in and the rest are dressage horses some nice foals and older horses, a yearling that would make a good broodmare prospect but not my cup of tea - but might be yours

The reserves for all the horses on the catalogue do not go above £15000 from what I've been told so they are reasonably priced. Nice showjumping youngster I mentioned about is only £6000 and he is cracking grade a potential being by Its the Business out of a top grade a mare.

 

[seabiscuit]

Do you mean the reserve is £1500, or £15,000 ?!!

No I am not looking to buy unfortunately- just looking out of interest!

 

[Laafet]

No that is the top reserve for a horse that has been to the winter regionals.

Most are a lot lower nearer the £2000 mark some below and most above

 

[Bossanova]

How near to Brockenhurst is it??

 

[Laafet]

along the m27 a bit say about an hour.

 

[Faithkat]

Nowhere near Brockenhurst - it's right the other side of Southampton - Stubbington, between Titchfield and Fareham

just got back from crofton tonight after taking some of Team Edges horses there from Exton. There are some seriously nice horses up there all ready. If any one has a lot of spare cash about there is a lot to like. Some cracking coloured warmbloods which are my favourite.

 

[seabiscuit]

I noticed the coloured warmblood in the catalogue! Looks very nice, very sporty and athletic...

The filly I am most interested in is the sandro hit X Lord Z foal, if I had some money I would be having a good look at her!
