Held under the stewardship of Ed Donohoe, the events drew participants from across Ireland, UK and Europe, firmly establishing Goresbridge as a critical hub for this sector. The first sale in April 2024 was a landmark event, with standout graduates such as Small Town Kid, Cloonainra, Birmingham Alabama, and Epic West making headlines in the months that followed.

For too long, Irish breeders and point-to-point producers have faced limited domestic options, often resorting to costly trips to the UK to market their horses. This challenge highlighted a pressing void in the industry.
Ed Donohoe, Managing Director of Goresbridge Horse Sales, remarked: “The response to our inaugural sale confirmed what we’ve known for some time—there’s a hunger for a reliable, cost-effective platform for point-to-pointers right here in Ireland. The success of these events underlines the importance of providing our industry with an alternative platform.”
The recent November sale further solidified the position of Goresbridge Horse Sales as a pivotal player in this market, with a strong catalogue of entries and enthusiastic buyer participation.
Building on the foundation laid in 2024, Goresbridge is determined to drive further growth in 2025.
“This is about more than filling a gap—it’s about creating something lasting.” Donohoe emphasised. “2024 was just the beginning. We’re working to grow the market, attract new participants, and build a sales environment that benefits everyone involved. There’s no doubt that this is a long-term commitment, and we are excited to see where it takes us.”
Goresbridge Horse Sales is committed to supporting participants every step of the way, offering a trusted venue and the backing of Irish Thoroughbred Marketing’s Inward Buyer Programme.
