do horses / ponys fetch decent money do you know although prices are bound to be lower than when you first went i suppose

 

[tinap]

Don't know now, but last time I went not much went for more than £800! I had heard that not much sold last time but if you go on their website you can see the results & prices of what was sold at last one xx

I'm not sure I'd describe it as an "up market" sale - but it certainly isn't one of the worst I've been to!

Usually varied lots, and generally they don't make a decent amount, bar the odd lot here and there - but these are usually the decent ones!

A lot of nice young ponies that go for next to nothing - but not many pint sized jockeys about I guess.

Great cafe!

I went last year, and it was a real mixture going through. They have "themes" each sale - welshies, hunters, pc ponies etc, but there is lots of types. There were some really sad cases, but a lot of nice things going for nothing. The most expensive were the gypsy cob types, unbroken, seemed to be going for more than they do privately when broken in!

They have a good tack sale too.
