Buying horses online at Youhorse.auction has earned a worldwide reputation and so, on Tuesday-night 5 October there was a heated battle for several showjumping horses. Two were sold for 60,000 euro and one for 50,000 euro. A super motivation for the auction organizers Mario Everse and Alan Waldman, but also for the sellers of the horses.
“To be quite honest, we were not totally surprised about the good prices. We had some real good horses in this collection and their prices conformed more or less to the market but… you still have to sell them and reach the right people. Besides several sales to well-known clients, there were again many newcomers with confidence in our auction and that means a lot to us”, says Mario Everse.
A total of 27 horses were offered in this 15th online auction, four of which will go to the USA and three to Mexico. There were also purchases from Canada, Spain, France, Great Britain, Estonia, Finland and only one from the Netherlands. Several riders managed to make useful additions to their stables. A well-known German eventing- and showjumping rider also came shopping again and counted down 30,000 euro for the 4-yr-old, powerfully jumping Meerstad (Global Express x Cardento VDL).
Highlights
And now the auction highlights. For 60,000 euro Lex (Comme il Faut x Biscayo) will leave for France. This 5-yr-old talent had not yet officially appeared in the showjumping ring, but is bound to make headlines in the future. For 60,000 euro the 4-yr-old Ribery (Aganix du Seigneur Z x Diamant de Semilly) will go to Canada and he also seems to be made for the big sport.
The 4-yr-old stallion Valentino van Spalbeek Z (Vigo d’Arsouilles x Flamenco de Semilly), half-brother of the 1.60m Grand Prix horses Seacoast Pebbles and Aristo Z, gets himself a 50,000 euro worth new stables in Spain. The auction clock stopped twice at 32,000 euro: for the 17yo top-class showjumping pony High Dream N who will continue his career in the USA and the young, impressive Toulouse van het Beeckhof Z (Toulon x Quinar Z) will leave for Canada.
