It’s been a busy past couple weeks for event horse shopping in Ireland, between the Monart Event Horse Sale (see EN’s roundup of North American acquisitions here) and the Goresbridge Go For Gold Sale, both of which were held in Co. Wexford.
The Gorebridge sale took place Monday through Wednesday of this week and featured a range of bright young prospects, including top grossing sale Gurtea Mattie Clover, a 5-year-old full brother to Nicola Wilson’s four-star mount Annie Clover, who was purchased by Gerard Alan Kemp of the UK for a hefty sum of €130,000 — that’s over $150,000. Woof!
The sale was well attended by U.S. and Canadian buyers and advisors, and we can’t wait to see their new mounts in action. Here is a roundup of North American Goresbridge purchases!
