Lot 95 – €4,500

The Cavan International Horse & Pony April Sale on Tuesday 21st & Wednesday 22nd experienced an unprecedented 82% clearance rate and surely shows evidence that the ‘buyer is back in the market’

 

The sales were very brisk with bids coming fast and furious and with many animals changing hands at a very speedy pace.  As soon as the Lots entered the sales ring it seemed the many punters were ready to start making their bids before the Lot could make its first circuit around the ring.

A strong European influence was in attendance with buyers from Sweden, Belgium and France who battled with formidable clients from Scotland, England, Wales and of course the homegrown buyer was also extremely well represented.

 

The very practical and useful bonus of a half tonne of Horse Feed which is sponsored by GAIN which is highly regarded by horse and pony owners alike went to Megan McGrory for the highest priced horse and Mornane Stables for the highest priced pony.

Photos and videos were definitely an advantage in selling some of these Lots as potential purchasers had a chance to view them before coming and all agreed that it would be very helpful if more vendors were to take advantage of this.
