With over 50 lots on offer the Mayo Roscommon Breeders Groups select foal sale will take in Mullingar Equestrian on Saturday 6 October. Foal viewing will begin at 1pm and the sale will start at 4pm.

The foals on offer at the sales have been selected by the panel of Jack Doyle, Liz Freeman, Dean Rogan and Joe O’Brien. The foals have been divided up by discipline. There are 24 eventing foals on offer, 19 show jumping foals and the remainder of the foals are Irish Draught’s.

The sale has been established as part of a grass roots initiative by breeds and it is part of an ongoing educational and development program to sustain the viability of the traditional breeder.

As well as the select foal sale there will also be a stallion exhibition which will take place at 2:30pm and there will be a breeder’s party in the evening following the sale.
