WANT TO BUY OR SELL QUALITY HORSES AND PONIES WITH LESS HASSLE?
AND HAVE A GREAT FAMILY-FRIENDLY TIME IN THE PROCESS?
Top producer Alan Birch and leading dressage pony breeder Lucy Sheldrake of Delaroche Stud praised IPS’s inaugural event in 2009. The attraction? Warranted horses and ponies, with the chance to “try before you buy” for a day before auction. Buyers including Mr & Mrs Parry of Anglesey, Tabatha Drake from Kent, SJ Producers CK Equine from Essex and local dressage enthusiast Jacqui Knowles were very satisfied with their purchases.
