Exciting Bid-Up in Westphalia

Full sister to Vaderland advances to top price

Price-list Online-Auction dressage foals

Münster: 30 dressage foals were for sale this evening at the Westfälisches Pferdestammbuch e.V.. Especially the fillies were in great demand. For the full sister of the young stallion Vaderland customers invested the highest amount of money. Overall, the highly interesting lot reached an average price of 8,200 Euros. 

The purchase of the number four was a family matter. Valencia (breeder and exhibitor: Carla Bunt-Crum, Netherlands) is the full sister of Vaderland. The popular young stallion, who is based at the Beckmann Stallion Station in Wettringen, has already produced several high-priced foals at past online auctions. His sister was sold to FK Sporthorses for a knock-down price of 24,000 Euros. This means that the chestnut mare will be stabled at the same yard as her well-known brother. The head number 10, Debby, was also sold for a knock-down price above the 15,000 Euro mark. The Dancier Gold/Sir Donnerhall daughter (breeder and exhibitor: Ludger Wigger-Pieper, Telgte) achieved a price of 17,500 Euros. The best-paid stallion prospect was the Viva Gold/Dante Weltino son Vegas with head number 26. The chestnut stallion (breeder and exhibitor: Paul Horstmann, Ennigerloh) was sold for 15,000 Euros.

A total of 25 out of the 30 foals offered found a new owner this evening. The number one could not achieve the desired price expectations of his exhibitors and was thus not sold this evening. On average 8,200 Euros had to be invested in the 25 sold foals. Less active than at previous foal auctions were the foreign customers. Three foals will travel to Scandinavia, one to Switzerland. "Transparency is an important basis for us, for a good cooperation with our customers, exhibitors and members. Thus we would like to maintain the principle of dealing openly with unsold foals. Despite our efforts, no buyer could be found for Eure Lordschaft tonight who met the breeders' price expectations. Apart from that we are satisfied with the course of the auction. The fact that we were again able to sell the majority of the foals confirms that it is the right way to support many breeders in marketing their foals and to achieve solid prices without outliers. I am especially pleased that well-known dressage stables such as Ingo Pape, Michael Klimke and Möller Dressage are among the buyers of our dressage foals," summarized Auction and Marketing Director Thomas Münch.

The auctions will continue in one week. The lot of 34 other dressage foals is now available for viewing at onlineauction.westfalenpferde.de. The highly interesting lot contains 18 colts and 16 fillies. The sires of the foals are Grand-Prix winners, Bundeschampions and premium stallions. Paired with successful dam lines, these foals give hope for great things in the future. The bidding starts on Thursday, July 16, at 9 am. The Bid-Up starts as usual on Monday evening, July 20, from 7.30 pm.
