THE sale of performance horses and ponies attracted a good-sized crowd to Mullingar Equestrian Centre last Saturday where the list of buyers featured regular visitors from Britain, Sweden and The Netherlands as well as home-based purchasers.

The busiest of the latter group were Jim Derwin (15), Felix Burke (11) and Trade Horse (five) with the last-named giving the sale’s top-price of €5,900 for Michael and Maria Conroy’s Kylemore Pursuit (Lot 84), a gelding by Musical Pursuit.
