Buying a yearling

[Agent XXX999]

Does anyone know how you would go about buying youngstock from the continent? As in, do you need to go with someone, or is there sales where you can go and bid etc?

I would like to get something that is about a year old, to sit in the field for a couple of years and then bring on etc.

Why go overseas when there are some wonderfully bred horses in this country????

The good ones aren't. However you do get a lot more choice.

What are you looking for? Forester has an amazing weanling that 'may' be for sale. It is very nice and is Warmblood/Arab/TB filly and pink papered with the AES will make around 16-16.2hands.

If you venture into the Breeders section of the forum, you will find several people with just the kind of youngsters you are looking for. Yes they may be a little more expensive for being bred here, but you can be sure none will have the distant whiff of the PMU farm about them.
