I'd be interested if Kivells are still running sales, I've just had a look to see if there were any dates up but couldn't see any, maybe its too early in the year?

Northwest auctions near Kendal do horse sales, they have the Fell Pony Society sale and Registered Mountain and Moorlands in October. They usually have general horse sale in November and in the Spring but the spring one isn't listed in the list of upcoming sale dates. J36 rural auction centre is very handy for the motorway. They have handled a number of Stud reduction and dispersal sales over the last couple of years.

They don’t normally surface until April or so at least.

I seem to recall a facebook post doing the rounds recently that the Exeter horse sales aren't coming back? I could be misremembering though!

York moved the tack sales online and ditched the horses. You can go look at the tack but the sales are not in person.

Judging by March April and May's results there will probably be less than 20 entries and mainly ponies, but that's just a guess.

Normal, 10 cats ago
llanybydder on 30th. Entries are on their FB page and there is also a FB group. I think it is £10 entry now. I will probably go.

If the amount of mares and foals I saw on the moor yesterday is anything to go by the Dartmoor pony sales (Chagford) in October will be busy!

Updating to add:

There were also two sales this year at Darlington, one in May and one in Oct. Not sure if they'll be continued next year.

What's going on auction-wise this year?
(Just noticed the Forfar May Day sale is cancelled this year. Doesn't say why.)

Adding that Llandovery had a sale on 31st Oct last year - from the sounds of it, they're going to be continuing them but don't know of any dates for this year, just that there should be a sale in Autumn for Welshies.
Don't know of any dates for Darlington either, and still not sure if they're planning to continue selling horses.
22 April - NWA
3 May - Ruthin general & Welsh sale
5 May - Clitheroe (last sale had 45 horses so looks like they're improving, but still mostly tack)
12 Oct - Chagford
14 Oct - Llanafan & Cwmowen
17 Oct - Shetland sale at Worcester
20-22 Oct - Welshie sales at Builth Wells
23 Oct - Standie/Hackney/Connemara sale at Built Wells
Some time in Oct - Fell sale with the NWA
Brecon's dates are: 22 April, 20 May, 17 June, 15 July, 19 Aug and so on for general sales.
Beaulieu on 1 June, 21 Sept, and 26 Oct.
That's all I know at the minute.

Already happened but St Asaph was on 5th Feb (only 10 horses), and Llanbydder was on 30th March. Not sure when they're next doing a sale.

All horses must be passported and microchipped to be sold. The passports must be presented at the time of unloading. If your horse is unwell, has a snotty nose or coughing please do not bring it to the sale.
There will be no auction of tack or carriages this day.

Llanybydder I think it will struggle, there was only 5 horses at the sale last month, I know they normally have lower numbers late winter time but Brecon have seemed to have upped their game and seem to attract more entries now. Forgot to add Llanybydder is normally the last Thursday of the month.

One of mine came from one of the Welsh sales. She still had milk so I’m guessing her foal was weaned at the sale. Id asked a friend who was going to find me a companion. I went to the New Forest sales once and it wasn’t something I’d want to see again

I went to the Beaulieu road sales soon after i bought my own NF pony, in the 80's. I went with her breeder. It was very sad, cracking big foals going to the butchers and weedy cheap ones going to the public (for their back gardens!?)
I do believe things have changed now that the verderers have more control over the quality of stallions and forest running mares.
I also have visited Exeter and Newton Abbott sales, i know people who have bought well from both but you do have to know what you are about.

Damn why is that at the other end of the country? Mum is looking for a retirement hack and an ex trekking pony would suit a treat.
