The customers had to wait a while for the most expensive offer of the evening. The strikingly marked son of Asgard's Ibiza danced his way into the hearts of the clientele with head number 35. Ibiza's Sun (breeder and exhibitor: Klaus Niemann, Petershagen) caused quite a stir in social media due to his striking appearance. 13 bidding parties fought for the bid. The dam of this colt, Rusetta TS by Dimaggio, has already produced two licensed stallions. This black stallion is preparing to follow in the same footsteps. After 31 bids, he changed to Bavarian ownership for 13,500 Euros. A son of Fidertanz/Veneno was also high in the favour of the customers at the Westphalian Studbook. Federades (breeder and exhibitor: Lara-Katharina Westebbe, Fröndenberg) impressed with his type and excellent movement. Eleven bidders competed for the knock down of the bay colt. Customers from Germany had the most staying power, winning the bid for 13,000 euros. A son of Skyline to B, Sunny Sky RAK (breeder and exhibitor: Rebekka Aicher Koch, Switzerland), was also worth 10,000 Euros to customers from Denmark. His dam, Verb.Pr.St. Noblesse Oblige by Negro, is a half-sister to the second reserve champion of the 2022 Westphalian Main Licensing, Valparaiso. The son of Viva Gold changed hands at the stallion sales for 200,000 euros to the Celle State Stud.

Among the foals predispositioned for jumping, a filly with the head number 1 advanced to the top price at the start of the auction. Eisprinzessin AK by Emerald van het Ruytershof (breeder and exhibitor: Andreas Klaaßen, Bocholt) was worth 12,000 Euros to her new owners from Switzerland. Her dam Call me Princess by Cornet Obolensky is a half-sister to the internationally successful show jumper Alberdina. Head number 3 Cronquett by Conthargos/Darco (breeder and exhibitor: ZG Schumacher, Verl) was the most expensive colt with a jumping pedigree. The bay was knocked down to Bavaria for 10,000 euros.
