After the overwhelming success of the 2006 Sale when prices averaged £1,132 and the Sale total was £741,432 this year’s Sale has attracted 916 entries of the highest calibre. The entries are made up of 140 section C and D geldings and part-breds, 45 part-bred foals, 140 section C and D foals sold without reserve and 612 breeding and performance section C’s and D’s of all ages. There is something there to suit everyone’s requirements.

There have been Royal Welsh Sales with more entries, the highest being 996 in 1994 but the Sale total was then only £443,356. This year’s catalogue contains a much higher general standard of entry including some quite exceptional animals.

The families of some of the consignees date back to the beginning of the Welsh Pony and Cob Society, these Studs include Arthen, Goyallt, Llwynhywel, Rhystyd, Ystradewi, Pantlleinau, Cwmtynant, Glanteifi, Menai, Parc, Ormond, Paith, Cathedine, Tyngwndwn, Horeb, Hwylog and Rhandir.
