Goresbridge horse sales

I went last year and bought a lovely mare one year on and i am sill happy with my purchase. average price was around 3000 some bid way up usually if olley townend was bidding. Fantastic sale. ps there are bargins aswell my mare was.
 
I went several years ago and it was an amazing couple of days. Great fun and a very interesting experience!

Are they still doing the travel incentive, if you buy a horse they will reimburse your travel costs?
 
As i live here, I have been to goresbridge many times, have bought and sold there, for the most part, it's fine. Obviously, there are the odd dodgy ones, but as a seller, in goresbridge, you dont get paid for 6 weeks, as buyer has 4 weeks to throw up horse, so for most part, what you see is what you buy, as no-one has the time or energy to sell a horse that will be thrown up. Some amazing horses sold there, best of luck buying, it's a great sales,, and because of the cost of entering, etc... you normally get the best of the best at the sales. xxx
 
Sorry to hijack this post slightly!!! I know you are specifically referring to the September Sport horse Performance Sales next week .......but curious as to what Goresbridge sales some of you H&H guys prefer to come over for.


Is is the regular monthly sales or do you prefer to wait for the Sport Horse Performance Sales??

Thanks
 
Seagull, regular monthly sales are a little more dodgy. alot are sold as seen, no comeback. still, way better than average monthly sales, as goresbridge has a good name, but can still be very dodgy in monthly. (Basically, if the horse isnt good enough for special sales, will be sold at monthly). I sold my mare, to a dealer in goresbridge, I was taking out her plaits, afterwards, crying my heart out, and he came over and asked why i was crying. I told him my story(Bla bla, was pregnant and my dad made me sell everything, as "punishment"). TUrns out, mare ended up in my friends yard, and had a really great life afterwards, was sooooo happy!!! still miss her!! :(
 
Thnks Popeyesno1fan, I did think this was the case. I have purchased years ago from Goresbridge but have never sold anything. I might pop over and have a look!
