The first foal auction of the year by Paardenveilingonline was once again a great success. The average sale price amounted to €7,500, and no less than 85% of the offered foals were actually sold. With visitors and buyers from all over the world, there was a lot of interest in the entire collection. Many of the best-selling items went to Spain, but we can also congratulate new owners in the United Arab Emirates and Sweden on their purchases.
Popular Stallion Undercover KK Z Heads to the United Arab Emirates for €16,500
The stallion Undercover KK Z (Utamaro d'Ecaussines x Chacco Blue) was already popular before the auction began. On Wednesday evening, right after the opening, several bids were placed. Eventually, the hammer fell on Saturday evening around 8:30 PM at €16,500. He will be heading to the United Arab Emirates.
Three Foals Sold for €11,000 Each
Three foals were sold last Saturday for exactly the same amount. The mare Ulynnda INS (Drummer 2000 TN Z x Berlin), bred from the half-sister of the 1.50m horse Evidento, is going to Spain for €11,000. The stallion Espolon Paloma MTB Z (Ermitage Kalone x Centauer Z), the promising half-brother of 3*-Grand Prix winner Baranus, was also sold for this amount and will be heading to Sweden. Another buyer from Spain prevailed and bought the promising mare Mrs Cornet de la Dique (Mr. Cornet de Regor x Cartogran) for €11,000.
Unbelievable Diamond E.C. to Spain for €10,500
The top five was rounded off with the stallion Unbelievable Diamond E.C. (Diamant de Semilly x Quidam de Revel). He too will soon be heading to Spain for an amount of €10,500.
Embryos Popular: Most Expensive Sold for €15,500 to the United Kingdom
The auction also featured six interesting implanted embryos. The embryo of United Touch S x Enigma van Schuttershof was ultimately sold for the highest price: the hammer fell just after 10 PM at a whopping €15,500. This embryo is bred from the direct maternal line of the Grand Prix sport and breeding stallion Kashmir van Schuttershof, who made his mark at the Olympic Games with two offspring in the individual top five.
The Wildcard: A Special Item Auctioned
This auction also featured a special item: a beautiful handmade iron horse, created by the world-famous farrier Aart Bloem from Pesse. This artwork was in high demand, with several bids placed immediately after the opening. Ultimately, this beautiful artwork will remain in the Netherlands for an amount of €4,750.
