Baroda & Colbinstown's name is now a prominent fixture in the top ten consignors at the prestigious Tattersalls October Sales and Goffs Orby Sale in Kildare every autumn.

“We rely on excellent staff on both farms and it is their attention to detail that makes the difference. Horses need to be physically and mentally fit and strong to be at their best for the rigours of a sale. They have to show as well on their first show as they do on their 50th show of the day.” – David Cox

Sales Consignment Every horse is treated individually at B&C and routine is essential, they are each taken out at the same time every day and their work out mainly includes hand walking, driving in long reins and a certain amount of lunging.

“They are as good as broken come sales time which is great for their minds and a huge help to their trainers. B&C work with Philip Gilligan in Gain for our feeding programme and Enda Kelly in TRM/Equine Products for the supplements.

Having the right horse in the right sale is essential and every horse is heavily scrutinized before a sale is decided upon.” – Dave Myerscough

Our eight week ‘sales preparation’ program is all about routine and getting a strong, healthy horse to the sales, ensuring you obtain the best possible price at the fall of the hammer!
