SOME 74 of the 79 pre-selected and catalogued foals for Edition 9 of the Breeders’ Select Foal Sale Ireland appeared at Glenamaddy Equestrian on September 26th. The sale is organised under the umbrella of The Irish Horse Centre (IHC), a marketing initiative powered by the Mayo Roscommon Breeders’ Group (MRBG).

Edition 9 reached 38 lots sold under the hammer (51% clearance rate), achieving an average foal price of €4,470. In a somewhat suppressed market globally, the group continues to fine-tune their strategy for a clear and transparent foal selection to meet the market demands for quality, to continue international marketing efforts and sustain a loyal customer base to deliver the breeders a return on investment in their equine farming enterprises.
