This site advertises some lovely irish horses and looks to have very good facilities - however they do not display any prices other than to include in some horses descriptions how much their siblings have sold for. Their prices are also non-negotiable.

Anyone know what ball park their horses are in - I suspect they are in the 5 figure bracket and do not want to embarrass myself!!

I like the coloured mare called Crystal - however there are no photos of her being ridden and her description does not say anything specific about how she is under the saddle. There are no photos of her being ridden down that very busy road which is one of their staple photos. Her brother sold for a fortune in 2007 too!!

I also like Lass for my daughter she sounds lovely and I think may have been with them a while.
 
My friend took clients there to view, that was last summer and the prices varied from 8k - 15k and prices were definitly none negotiable, at the time she went there was one nice event mare called glitters not got any eventing points but had a few irish show jumping points and that was 17k. None of them are particulary cheap.
 
That very busy road you refer to is the East Lancs road and I know the location of there yard very well. They are riding down a private road which runs along side the East lancs so they are not on the road or in any of the traffic that you see. My horse is average in traffic and i would ride him on there part of that road.

They are based in Lancashire by the way not Chester....

They are 5 mins from me and a couple on their site are £4k. Agree ref comments about riding down the road. The road they're riding on runs parallel to the main road. Still busy nonetheless.
 
I liked a mare on their site, sandy. I posted on here about how to ask for POA as ive never done it before so i sent them a message via the website on the horse i liked. She was 6K which is roughly what i was expecting and more then i was willing to pay but it doesnt hurt to ask.
 
Many thanks - you have all confirmed what I thought!!

Apologies for the poor geography- unforgivable for the wife and daughter of Lancashire men!! I do live in North Northumberland so it is quite a way away!
