Red Mills Special: Going For Gold with Nicky Roncoroni and Sally Parkyn

It's the time of year when the next generation of eventing stars step into the spotlight. With the season wrapped, attention turns to Ireland and the Goresbridge Go For Gold Sale, where some of the sport's biggest names hunt for future five-star winners.

Nicole is joined by two of the experts behind the selection panel to take you inside one of the most influential young horse sales in world eventing. They break down what they look for in a future star, how the process works from start to finish, and why this sale has produced horses now competing at Europeans, Worlds and five-stars.

From vetting insights to buyer tips, the value of Irish education, and how amateurs and elite riders alike can find their next horse, this is the closest thing to sitting at the selectors' table.

Highlights:

• What sets the Go For Gold sale apart
• How horses are assessed and selected
• Advice for buyers at every level
• Realistic price ranges and expectations
• Why the Irish system produces event horses differently
• Success stories from past graduates
• What to look for in your next young horse
