The first ever UK auction of elite event horses took place on Friday at Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials offering an exclusive shop window for 28 potential top event horses.

Commenting on Friday's sale, Richard Botterill of Brightwells Bloodstock Auctioneers said:

“It was always going to be a case of seeing which horses attracted the most interest and today it was the quality 4 year olds.  Three went for over £20,000. So we will definitely building on this for the future.

We would like to say a big thank you to Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials for hosting the event," ended Richard.
