One of the most hotly anticipated sales of event horses each year, the line-up for this year’s Goresbridge Go for Gold sale is unsurprisingly robust. Boasting top young as well as proven talent, the Select Event Horse Sale will take place November 11-12 at November at Barnadown and the Amber Springs Hotel in Wexford, Ireland.
Each year, top riders from the world over make purchases from this collection of future eventing stars (take a look at who picked up horses from this sale last year here). Notable graduates of the Go for Gold sale include horses such as Copper Beach, Carlsburg, Cooley SRS, November Night, and Cooley Rorkes Drift.
This year, 74 horses ranging from ages 3 to 5 are available for purchase, and the catalog is now available for perusal online. Performance videos of all available horses will shortly be available on the Goresbridge Go for Gold website.
Here are some early highlights from this year’s catalog. Stay tuned for a preview of the performance videos from the available horses!
