THE Supreme Sale of Show jumping Foals went ahead at the Irish Breeders’ Classic last Saturday evening but it wasn’t without it challenges when, due to weather which upended the schedule at the event, it was all moved indoors.

However, the rain didn’t dampen the spirit of the buyers or the atmosphere at Barnadown where the drinks reception, canapés and BBQ was much appreciated by all. The decision was made early in the day to move the parade of foals from the main grass arena to the indoor arena, followed by the auction of foals at 6.30pm.
