Martin Donohoe delighted to sell horse Dougie Douglas for €1.4m at auction

A show jumping horse selling for €1.4m is sure to make headlines. It’s a lot of money, and Goresbridge operator Martin Donohoe was understandably delighted Dougie Douglas soared in value when auctioned at the Supreme Sale of Show Jumpers, held in Barnadown, Gorey, Co Wexford.

“Absolutely mindboggling, €1.4m is serious money,” he declared yesterday.

However, what makes this story of note is the amount spent is in the public domain.
