I have been on both sides of the fence by buying and selling through Goresbridge, and it goes to show that the Donohoe team are a very unique, professionally run, auctioneering outfit. This sale needs all our support for the sake of the Irish horse industry and the continued success of the Goresbridge brand. Whether you are buying or selling – be part of this uniqueness.”Donal Barnwell

“I have been a customer at Goresbridge since I’ve started in business and have known Maurice and Felicity Cousins at Barnadown for as long. I feel the combination of the two can be nothing but successful and look forward to attending as a buyer and a seller. We wish them the best of luck.” Paul Donovan, Sportsfield Horses

“We were very happy with the results we got at last year’s sale with two of our horses, and delighted for Mark Kyle who has qualified Kilcannon Credit Crunch for the FYEH Final at Burghley in September. We hope that there are plenty of buyers at Barnadown in November to make 2011 another successful year” Mary Bolger, Kilcannon Stud.
