THE largest consignors at this year’s Go For Gold Sale are MBF Sporthorses, who have 11 lots entered under their own banner and three in partnership with Higgins Sporthorses, who have six other lots catalogued in their own name.

When they turn up at Barnadown, all will be turned out to perfection and ready to showcase themselves before potential purchasers or their agents. As the vendors of previous sales toppers, these producers know exactly what the market is looking for and have put in a lot of work sourcing youngsters to fit the bill.
