Bolesworth Elite Yearling Auction 

The auction held during the Equerry International Horse Show at Bolesworth has been a phenomenal success to date, with record breaking prices achieved by European and British bred Showjumping foals and yearlings. The team are delighted to continue to develop this concept with another exciting auction to be held on 14th June, on the Friday night of the show.

Nina Barbour explains: “We are very proud of what we have achieved with this auction, where we put an emphasis on black type dam lines.

“This year, we will be returning to our original format, showcasing an elite selection of top potential yearlings. Yearlings in June are at a great age for serious buyers, and are able to demonstrate a good idea of their raw talent over a pole.”
