Thimbleby & Shorland have decided to cease holding the THE READING HORSE SALES as there is no prospect of them becoming economically viable.

We will continue to sell TACK & SADDLERY at the regular Carriage sales that are held in March, May, September and November, and at the Shetland Ponies sale in October.

We will continue to hold sales of horses, ponies, driving horses and heavy horses as advertised.
