Shopping for a young event horse in Ireland

[ss1]

Hi

I'm looking to head to Ireland in the new year to buy a young horse for eventing. I want something 16.1 - 16.3 that can take me novice eventing in a few years. Something that has had a basic education for me to work with and bring on so I'm not looking for something that has just been backed. Does anyone have any suggestions of people to contact, or avoid, in Ireland?

There are the well known ones like Cooleys, Monbeg, Fernhill but does anyone have any other suggestions? I'd rather use an agent or dealer than go to the sales myself.

Thanks

Worth speaking to Meryl Connaughton from Connacht Sports Horses ( https://www.connachtsporthorses.com/meryl-connaughton )

I know a couple of people who have got youngsters from her that have turned out amazingly well. (one is now successfully competing at 2*).

You’ll get a better price this side of winter than buying one coming out of winter
