TF Mares Sale

IHRA are pleased to announce a French Trotter Broodmares in Foal Sale

The IHRA and LeTrot have compiled a list of over 150 quality mares that are in foal and due to foal in 2017 to choose from.

These selected Mares will travel back to Ireland in the next two weeks to foal in Ireland and can then be covered with our stallions standing in Ireland.

The Mares being offered are of a very high breeding quality and are in foal to quality French Stallions.

There is also a high number of premium mares on the list which carry a €700 subsidy from LeTrot when the mares are scanned back in foal and this continues until the mare is finished breeding.

You also have the 20% covering subsidy and the 10% breeders bonus which means the breeder of any French breed foal born in Ireland will receive 10% of all prize money the resulting foal earns during its racing career, this is a separate fund to the prize money that the horse earns.

Also in 2020 when our Irish breed trotters are three, the opportunity to buy young three year olds out of France will be dramatically curtailed to favour horses bred in Ireland and this will also be reflected in the increased prize money that Irish bred horses will race for from 2020.

This is a great opportunity to get into the breeding of French Trotters and avail of the many incentives on offer.

The cost of the mare landed in Ireland and covering fee paid is projected to be €4,700, normal selecting criteria will apply.
