138. Verden elite-auction online
On the second day of the 138th Elite Auction Online, selected foals and two-and-a-half-year-old stallions with dressage horse pedigrees were in the spotlight. The top price among the foals was achieved by Dynamic in Black, who was auctioned off to Norway for 74,500 euros. The best-paid young stallion was Frankie K, for whom a buyer from the USA invested 55,500 euros. Sixteen bidders showed interest in the Dynamic Dream/De Niro son Dynamic in Black and gave his breeder and exhibitor Axel Baumgartner from Kamern, who has sent numerous high-class foals to Verden, the top price of 74,500 euros. The online auction got off to a brilliant start. The very first foal, San Salvador by Sir Donnerhall/Benetton Dream (breeder and exhibitor: Hubertus Poll, Gilten) found a new owner in the Ukraine for 35,500 Euros. Casino Royal by Conthargos/Graf Top (breeder and exhibitor: Willem Klausing GbR, Diepholz) will grow up in Hungary. The bay stallion from the Pension line, to which the Celle state stud stallion Diacontinus also goes back, was the highest paid bid with jumping genes in his pedigree with a hammer price of 10,500 Euros. The 25 representatives of the 2021 crop achieved an average price of 11,520 euros, setting a top mark. Compared to the previous year, the average price was around 1,400 euros higher. Fifteen foals remain in Germany, ten were secured by customers from all over Europe. The 138th Elite Auction Online was completed by a highly interesting lot of young dressage stallions. The two-and-a-half-year-olds were selected during the pre-selection for the stallion licensing and met with lively interest. Right from the start, the strong mover Frankie K by Franklin/San Amour (breeder and exhibitor: Konstantin Kratzberg, Hildesheim) was in the lead among the buyers. The expressive black stallion did not relinquish this lead until the hammer fell and was sold to a customer from the USA for 55,500 Euros after an international bidding duel. Those who wanted to call one of the 24 highly interesting young talents their own had to invest an average of 19,646 euros for their desired candidate.
