Paco captured the most hearts and, after an exciting bidding duel, will be heading to the United States. In total, six Christmas stars achieved prices above €35,000 on Tuesday evening. Among them were the four-year-old talent Raja J (Pegase van ’t Ruytershof x Toulon) and the six-year-old Capitalshot Z (Carambole x Unaniem), both of whom will also move to the United States.
The eight-year-old gelding Monamour (Heart Touch x Niagara) attracted strong interest as well and was sold to buyers from Poland. The eleven-year-old Cornet’s Quinn (Cornet Obolensky x Quidam de Revel) impressed with his experience, while the seven-year-old Cilla (Cellestial x Graff Grannus) will continue her career in Italy.
The two-year-old talents were also in demand: the colt Tony JT (Carrera VDL x Douglas) changed hands for €26,000. The Emerald van ’t Ruytershof daughter Emma Z was sold to Germany for €22,000.
Nearly one thousand horses to 59 countries
The Christmas auction proved to be a fitting conclusion to an exceptionally successful year, reflects Mario Everse proudly on behalf of the Youhorse.auction team: “2025 was a fantastic year in every respect. Through Youhorse.auction, nearly one thousand horses changed ownership and were sold to 59 different countries. This confirms just how strong and international our platform has become. We are incredibly grateful for the trust of our consignors, buyers and everyone involved. Without them, this would not have been possible.”
Thank you and happy holidays
With this successful Christmas edition, Youhorse.auction is already looking ahead to the new year. The New Year’s Edition on Tuesday, 6 January, is scheduled as a spectacular kick-off to 2026.
“The January collection looks very promising and will already be online this coming Saturday. Anyone looking to sell an eye-catching sport horse in the new year can already register for the selection and video days on Monday 12 and Tuesday 13 January,” says Mario Everse.
“But first, we want to thank everyone for a wonderful year. We wish all buyers, consignors and partners warm and joyful holidays, full of togetherness and special moments. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to Youhorse.auction in the new year.”
