Equine Sales 2026 โ€“ Building on the Success of 2025

 

Following an outstanding year of strong entries and exceptional buyer demand in 2025, we are delighted to announce our full calendar of Equine Sales for 2026. With consistently high-quality stock and strong trade throughout the year, our 2026 programme is set to be another exciting year.

Phillip Blackman-Howard, Head of McCartneys Equine said:

“Across our Brecon and Worcester markets, plus our Official Society Sales for the Welsh Pony & Cob Society and the Shetland Pony Stud-Book Society, we continue to provide trusted marketplaces for vendors and buyers from across the UK and beyond. In 2025 we saw excellent clearance rates, competitive bidding, and a steady rise in both vendor and purchaser numbers, clear signs that our horse and pony sales remain a leading fixture in the British equine calendar.ย  For 2026, we aim to build further on that success, offering monthly opportunities to trade quality horses and ponies, supported by experienced staff, strong advertising reach and consistent buyer demand.

With a strong reputation for well-managed, well-attended, and commercially effective sales, we look forward to welcoming both returning and new clients throughout 2026. Whether youโ€™re entering stock or looking to purchase, our experienced teams at Brecon and Worcester are on hand to help ensure a smooth, successful sale day”.

Saturday saw a very busy market with strong entries and a lively crowd of bidders. Foals were forward in large numbers for our Traditional Fair Day Sale and met a trade that exceeded many vendorsโ€™ expectations. The Shetlands were the highlight, with 140 sold and consistently strong demand. Larger horses and ridden types were fewer in number but remain highly sought after.

Sundayโ€™s sale of Registered Welsh horses and ponies also enjoyed a good trade, from mountain ponies through to performance animals.

  • Section A & B top price: ยฃ3,000 โ€“ Lot 527 Ffermymlolais Bantam (Heolas Stud)
  • Section C & D top price: ยฃ4,500 โ€“ Lot 717 Gwenllan Briallen Mai (M Wenman)
  • Next best at ยฃ4,200 โ€“ Lot 681 Synod Miss Royal Ascot (Synod Stud)

 

Overall, it was another highly successful Fair Day Sale, with average prices remaining above those seen last year. Our sincere thanks go to all vendors and buyers for their continued support, and a special thank you to the staff for their hard work throughout the weekend.
