The six-year-old mare Andiamo Fee Z (Andiamo Semilly x I’m Special de Muze) was purchased after an intense international bidding battle by buyers from Jordan. The more experienced horses were also in high demand and achieved prices of over 30,000 €. The fourteen-year-old Calsit du Bouscaillou (Cassini II x Ogano Sitte) will be transferred to Poland, while the nine-year-old Cool Air (Cayetano L x Air Dancer) will continue his career in Turkey.
In addition, the eight-year-old Crime is Silver Chapeau’s Flye High (Chapeau Ciaco x Ciaco’s Son S) impressed the buyers from the United States, while the five-year-old Amadeo VD Z (Amadeo van ’t Vossenhof Z x Corydon van T&L) was acquired by a buyer from Belgium.
International interest in full bloom
„We have had a fantastic start to the Easter auction,“ said organizer Mario Everse. „With buyers from no fewer than 20 different countries and a remarkable number of new bidders, this edition once again shows how international our platform has become. Only one horse remained in the Netherlands, which underscores the country’s strong position as an exporter in the horse trade.“
Germany currently leads with six purchases, followed by Poland, the Czech Republic and Italy with three horses each. Notably, a buyer from Mexico invested in three frozen embryos that all come from Grand Prix mares.
Big Easter finale today
The tension is building towards the conclusion of this Easter edition. Tonight, Wednesday, April 8, the second part of the collection goes on the auction block. „The first evening was a strong start, but experience shows that the real spectacle only unfolds in the very last moment,“ added Mario Everse. „Anyone looking for a new top talent should not miss this Easter finale.“
„Today’s collection is once again very diverse: from promising up-and-coming talents to high-quality amateur horses to a 1.50-meter-level show jumper. The horses can still be viewed until tonight, and our team is available to answer any questions,“ he emphasized.
