The undisputed highlight of the evening was the eleven-year-old gelding Fondan de Caverie (Ogrion des Champs x Qredo de Paulstra). Thanks to his international experience at 1.50m level, he emerged as the top attraction. Following an exciting bidding battle, he was sold for €105,000 to buyers from Turkey.
The seven-year-old mare Oya (Carthino Z x Bernini) also attracted considerable interest and will continue her career in Norway. The five-year-old mare Philine (Quabri de l’Isle x Numero Uno) will head to South Africa, while the five-year-old El Baronesa HV Z (El Barone 111 Z x Vaillant) was purchased by buyers from the United Arab Emirates. Another notable sale was the frozen embryo by United Touch S out of the proven 1.60m Grand Prix mare Tinkabell 12, which was knocked down for €10,000 to buyers from Libya.
Top quality remains in high demand
Organizer Mario Everse looks back on the auction with great satisfaction. “A top price of €105,000 is, of course, fantastic, but perhaps even more important is the message it sends. Proven quality horses with performance records remain in high demand, both nationally and internationally. We saw that once again this evening. We welcomed buyers from seventeen different countries and saw many returning clients investing in new talent. That level of confidence makes us incredibly proud and motivates us to continue assembling the best possible collection every month.”
