Anyone go yesterday? Preci Spark girlies went VERY cheap

Was chatting about this earlier with mate she said the quality was really good but too expensive for her as her budget was £2k.
 
The PS's went for around the 2/3k mark

Alot of nice stuff going cheap, my friend Pats horse took Reserve Champ and his made around 5k (he was disappointed).
 
I think friend was trying not to buy due to looking for a project for 6 months and not looking forward to winter!

What were the preci sparks going through?
 
I did not think they sold the fillys they usually keep the good ones unless they were overstocked.
Do you think this proves that breeding is a waste of time/money as Preci uses the best? No wonder the UK is full of part time fun breeders because it is just not cost effective to do it properly to make money.

I should say, how can you make anything out of 2k or 3k from embryo to 2/3y.o?

They must have been overstocked.

Ditto this! I think I might have to make a trip to the next one...
 
OMG !! Wish I'd known, I would've loved to have had a look at the Preci horses.
But then again, they cant have been all that good if they were flung into a sale so cheap?
 
I notices that they sold full sisters a 1 and 2 year old I think and 2 and 3 year old I thought that was funny that they did that.

I was going but there was not many young ponies so did not bother in the end think there will be more ponies at the next one
 
Sevenmiles, he was really nice, a super show hack, I did fancy a go with him but sense took over at the last minute!

Some of the Woodlanders were quite reasonable I thought.
 
Preci dont sell there every year and I guess only do so when they need a clear out. Sold several a couple of years ago and one only made about £900! It had even done a couple of intro events. They didnt have any there last year. Interestingly the ones a couple of years ago were in Horsedeals for prices between £5k - £7.5k+ yet they obviously didnt sell privately and went through the ring at Malvern with no reserves!

Just because they have a clear out does not necessarily mean the horses are no good, possible that they are just not going to make the Advanced/International grade.
 
That's really interesting that the Preci ones didn't go for much. Out of interest (if you've got a programme Severnmiles?) were they all by Mill Law? I know they had one (or maybe two) by More Pokey but I'm not sure if they were lads or girlies.
