As title x

20 out of 27 foals sold in the ring (I asked at the show office after), highest priced foal was over 9k, belonging to Millfields.

I have marked all prices and not solds in the ring. Quality was very mixed...there was a fab Cashpoint and a super Arko....let me know specifics and I can post prices

Was a good evening and went on till midnight. The highest price paid last night (that I saw) was for the highest placed show jumper foal of the futurity to date, Gamble Scais auctioned for £9000, also another futurity show jumper foal Delaroche Landmeister, dam sire Randi auctioned for £2400. A friend also had a good price for their dressage foal

 

[hogie]

Just to correct you, Delaroche Landmeister sold for £2600 + vat

i saw the arko foal in the catalouge and it looked really nice, did it sell?

 

[Gucci_b]

oops!!! forgot a few ££££ must have been that glass of wine

I think the Arko got to 8200 and was not sold, but tbh was behind the scenes and hard to keep track of other peoples lots, hence having to ask how many sold at the end

 

[parkside]

Sleepy u r right we had a table and just checked prices.however there was much running of bids and the not sold prices were in no way reflected by true bid prices x

 

[Fahrenheit]

I heard right then, was in the stables when that one went through, so couldn't see who was/wasn't bidding

 

[LMsporthorses]

Did u record prices of the Vangelis s foals ?

Is it just me or is it very early in the year for a foal sales? I always thought the Goresbridge one in October was early enough! Are the foals weaned? or do they return home with their dams to be delivered later in the year?

They are insured then collected, this is arranged with the mare owner

 

[Fahrenheit]

They return home with their dams til they are weaned.

 

[magic104]

Sorry did mean to add when they were weaned, but my PC was playing me up & did not get back to editing.

 

[Fahrenheit]

I think we typed at the same time because I didn't see you had replied too

 

[Touchwood]

We sold a foal for a client - the foals are still on the mares and return home until weaning. TBH - I think the timing is good, most foals are still looking decent, you wouldn't want to try and sell gawky weanlings.
Although the prices still low for some of the breeding you are buying, I thought the whole 'vibe' was an improvement on last year, more of a feeling of optimism.

There were also some super mares on offer, we came home with one for a client (unfortunately we didn't have the foresight to bring a bigger lorry, so had to drop mare and foal home and return the same night to get the mare! 4am finish...lovely - not!)

I would have liked to see the loose jumpers go higher - some were clearly scopey, and it makes for a better display for the crowds to pop the fence up a bit for those talented enough.

Full marks to Brightwells though - we need to have a bit of push to get buyers more comfortable purchasing at auction. Its a great opportunity to see a selection of horses all in one place, in a professional environment.

What did the Legrande youngstock make?

 

[parkside]

What did the Legrande youngstock make?[/QUOT

The very young brown colt made around 3K - moved beautifully and probably the youngest in the sale - the other 2 did not sell.

Do you know what the names were? Funny 2 didn't sell, I read somewhere else they sold 'well' LOL!!

 

[Touchwood]

Yes, I wrote that they sold well....maybe I missed something, but I thought they sold for far more than that (it sounded from the auctioneer that they had sold!), I even wrote in my catalogue that they were sold, I wrote everything down.

 

[eventrider23]

I believe the bay was sold but the palomino and the buckskin did not make their reserves.

 

[Touchwood]

Ah, well if that is the case the auctioneer wasn't very clear, as they sound like they sold!
