well went to the sale this evening and was not very impressed, most of the stock was colts or gelding and a lot of wild animals. the thing that got me the most was how they were treating them prior to going in the ring. not impressed lets just say the new owners will have to put in a lot of work before some of them trust again we decided to leave early coz of this. i appreciate they needed to get them through fairly quickly but i am certainly put off ever buying from there and selling there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was at the auction last night. A major consignment was from the 'friends of the dartmoor hill pony association'.
The quality of all the lots was mixed as you'd expect.
The next sale is on the 22nd Dec (I think).
