CLOSING the year on a solid note, Cavan’s final performance sale of 2025 delivered a set of returns very similar to those of 12 months ago.

Although the sale-topping figures fell short, the edition demonstrated a strong demand for quiet riding stock, which led to a clearance of 77% (75% in 2024) together with an average of €4,960 (€5,507). Trade customers dominated the proceedings with horses and ponies heading not only to the UK, but also to Belgium and Sweden.
