The year 2015 proved a record-breaking year for Ireland's sport horse sales, topped by the sale of the Irish-bred British winning Nations Cup performer Dougie Douglas for €1.4 million, and we bring you expert analysis of all the major sales trends in this weekend's issue of The Irish Field.

Expert sales correspondent Sally Parkyn looks back at the 2015 highlights in a comprehensive review of the year's action at Goresbridge and Cavan auction houses and analyses the factors which contributed to trade which hit a 10-year high in some instances and signalled solid growth in virtually all renewals on the calendar.

Parkyn dissects the year's results for older horses, four-year-old, three-year-olds, foals and ponies but it is her compiliation of 12 tables denoting the top prices in each category by thoroughbred sires; by continental sires and by ISH sires, which truly tells its own tale and is an invaluable guide for buyer and seller alike, and will equally be of huge interest to every breeder, owner, pinhooker and producer in both Ireland and overseas.

When it comes to the coverage and analysis of Irish sport horse sales, we bring you the complete package year round and Sally Parkyn's Sales Review 2015 is simply not to be missed.
