Extraordinary was the son of Escamillo/Vitalis with the descriptive name Exceptional. He found new owners for 23.500 Euro.
Numerous successful foal online auctions have been held by the Westfälisches Pferdestammbuch e.V. this year. In the first live auction the foal sales season came to a successful end on Saturday evening. Already in the presentation in the show jumping arena the young Westphalians presented themselves from their best side. At 6 pm the auction started. The German Amateur Championship provided a perfect framework for this auction. In spite of adverse weather conditions, many interested people came to the auction.
The most sought after foal was a son of Escamillo/Vitalis with the head number nine (breeder and exhibitor: Bernd Börger, Lennestadt). The offspring of Escamillo had already convinced several times at the Westphalian online auctions and were able to achieve top prices. His son, who bears the characteristic name Exceptional, changed hands this for the top price of 23,500 Euros. Among the customers interested in jumping, the number three was particularly impressive. The Eldorado van de Zeshoek/Cornet Obolensky son Ein Gewinner (breeder and exhibitor: Johannes jun. Jakobs, Paderborn) descents from a highly successful dam line. This line already produced the licensed stallion Diamant de La Lande and the successful show jumpers Cornet de La Lande and Clemens de La Lande. The bay was worth 16,000 Euros to well known customers from Hamburg.
Ten of the 13 foals presented changed hands. On average, the customers had to invest 12,150 Euros in the young Westphalians. "We are pleased that we were able to auction a small but fine collection live at the end of the event. All in all we were able to successfully sell almost 300 foals this year. A result with which we can be very satisfied. I am pleased that our breeders are loyal to us in this special year and that they have repeatedly made their foals available to us for the Westphalian auctions," summarizes auction and marketing manager Thomas Münch.
