WITH the market for sport horses on an upward trend and with two lively renewals already done and dusted, the team at Cavan will be hoping for another strong trade next Wednesday.

Certainly, the catalogue of around 150 lots appears stout enough and most notably in the pony and ridden horse sectors. Having made the headlines in April, the former division offers a number of seasoned performers, including the leading grade A 138cm jumping pony Annaveigh Aaron, as well as the very experienced 128cm performer TLC Droumleap Dust in the Wind. These and many others are among a sizeable collection with competition form, while also standing out are some attractively-bred Irish Draughts, Connemaras and traditionally-bred all-rounders.
