The 2025 sport horse sale’s year closed on an exceptionally strong note, cementing what had already been a very positive year. With only a few exceptions, prices held firm throughout the season, reflecting both the health of the industry and the growing international appetite for not only top level horses but increasingly for general riding stock.

Never before has the appetite for quiet, level-headed individuals (of any age) been as voracious, and this has led to record returns. Adding to that overall strength were the end of season specialist sales of young event horses and top level show jumping foals. Once again, these premier showcases attracted domestic and international buyers in their droves and together added real depth and distinction to an already strong year. Their results confirmed that the demand for these top-drawer horses is very healthy indeed.
