    You could try advertising in The Irish Field or similar publications. There are also a number of websites that specialise in TBs, so you could try them?

    get in contact with a decent bloodstock agent, they will always have clients for a decent mare with good pedigree, assuming it will pass the vet

    she currently has a snotty nose which will go away soon, would that prevent her from passing the vet? would i need to wait until she gets better?

    There are a number of factors which would result in a horse failing a vet inspection: injury which would inhibit performance, lameness, warts, wind issues, poor conformation, crooked action, vices, and problems in brood mares which would complicate foaling.

    I'm not 100% sure if a vet would fail a horse due to a dirty nose, but it could indicate underlying issues, such as health issues, allergies, etc. It would probably be better to hold off selling her until the symptoms clear up. It could just be a little cold, but some buyers would be hesitant to purchase a horse with a cold/virus as it could spread to other horses in the yard.
