Sales held around April and September every year. www.goanm.co.uk

thanks guys, another question - what price do they normally go for? say i was going for a 2/3 yro welshie, either A or B - how much?

 

[aggie]

They would probably go for somewhere between £300 - £500 and that usually includes tack if they are broken and around £150 - £250 on a good day for a youngster.

Have you tried WHW or some of the othe resuce places to see if they have any youngsters as they tend to be just what you are looking for!

There's a horse sale at Thainstone, Inverurie (North east) I think its in the spring though.

What are you looking for - I've got 2 fab horses for sale...!

 

[melxvengeance]

Not definately looking for something, just having a browse to see what's out there. for ages now i've wanted a young welsh, A or B, about 2/3 years old that i can bring on, do a bit of showing with and then sell to be a kids pony. not in it to make money, just something to do with my time although don't have a lot of cash so needs to be cheap

Although they dont have exactly what you want at the moment, if you could miss out on the selling afterwards bit World Horse Welfare quite often have just the sort of thing you are after. Their scottish centre is near Aboyne, Aberdeenshire

Hi

I had a nosey on the WHW link and they are looking for temporary handling homes for the youngstock ie 2 years. The horse then needs to return to WHW for assessment/breaking in.
