The Billy Stud has for some time been known for running excellent  young stock  auctions of potential international competition horses. This year, the stud added a new Spring Auction to its busy calendar, which proved to be a great success, attracting healthy bids from all over the world.  Billy Buchannon (Chacoon Blue x Billy Congo) and Billy Be Wise (Billy Congo x Kannan) will now be seen under the Italian flag with the team of Fabrizia Stefani and PaoloPaini. These were the highest priced lots of the auction with the hammer falling at  £43,000  and  £39,500  respectively.  Closer to home, established fans of Billy Stud horses were also able so secure some lovely lots, among them Sarah Hancock who added another 3 Billy's to her successful string of horses. She was the winning bidder on Billy Oasis (Tangelo x Cevin Z)  £18,000 , Billy Foxtrot (Billy Mexico x Billy Congo)  £15,500  and Billy Profile (Billy Mexico x Billy Congo)  £9,500 . Congratulations to the Billy Stud Team, Will, Donal and Pippa, and of course to all the happy new owners!
