All available catalogues can be downloaded from our ‘Catalogues’ button on the main menu online or by contacting Goresbridge sales office direct on 00353 (0) 59 9775145 or email info@goresbridge.com. On receipt of the catalogue, read carefully through the Conditions Of Sale.
Goresbridge sales are situated in Co Kilkenny in the south of Ireland and are easily accessible from Dublin, Cork and Waterford airports. For those who prefer to travel by ferry, Rosslare is only an hour’s drive, while Dublin Port or Dun Laoghaire are within two hours. Sometimes the sales can finish late, so if you are interested in a late lot, it may advisable to arrange your homeward journey for the following day. We aim to sell 25 lots per hour, so this should serve as a guide on any given day.
Horses are viewed in numerical order on the flat and over fences, from 9.00am on the morning of sale. They may be tried at the discretion of the vendor. We now offer an online viewing gallery and online bidding platform. All lots will be available to view on the gallery one week in advance of the sale but we advise to keep revisiting as lots are updated during this time.
Full conditions are stated in the catalogue, but for easy reference.
