Christmas Bonanza Sale
HORSES & PONIES also TACK
Saturday 16th December 2006

Harrison & Hetherington Limited held their first Christmas sale for horses and ponies, also tack at Borderway Mart, Carlisle on Saturday 16th December 2006.

This new event attracted an enormous attendance of buyers and enthusiasts who came to see the catalogued entry of 110 horses and ponies along with an array of tack come under the hammer.

The sale ring for horses and ponies soon filled to capacity as the sale got under way. The leading price of the section was a 7 year old chestnut mare shown by Fiona MacIntyre of Coylton, Ayrshire. Bambi as she was known, is a very talented jumper, and went on to sell for 1,850gns.

Selling for 1,800gns was an early entry into the sale ring, a bay gelding known as Prince who was exhibited by Miss E Richardson of Lockerbie, Dumfriesshire.

Another gelding took the next price tag at 1,700gns. Little Coco, a 16hh dun horse, was shown by Helen Fenwick of Gosforth, Seascale.

A grey filly attracted much interest. Sophie was consigned by borders enthusiast Jenna Hickson of Jedburgh and sold for 1,600gns.

The next horse and pony sale is scheduled to take place on Saturday 17th March.

Eric the donkey gelding from Ronnie Mawbray, of Houghton, Carlisle, helped up his price to 340gns when he brayed in the ring at the first Christmas sale of horses, ponies and tack at Borderway.
