THERE’s no doubt that the Goresbridge team did an excellent job promoting their inaugural Copper Beach Sale, which was held at their Co Kilkenny base on Monday, but Marti Rudd backed that up with some clever marketing of her husband Tomás Doyle’s Monbeg Coco Light (Lot 13).

Especially for an amateur rider, what’s not to like about a palomino filly who has been competing at 80cm and 90cm level at local shows, has two siblings jumping at 1.30m level, and has been schooled cross-country? Add to that mix the fact that the four-year-old comes from a yard with a reputation for bringing on young horses slowly and where, we found out via social media, you can’t be too young to be a member of the grooming team!
