Success story for the auction of Tim van Hal, Jonas De Bock and Jan Claeys.
After yesterday's Eye of the Breeder auction where a lot of foals, some embryos and the breeding stallion Comme d'Api vd Hacienda found a new owner, it was up to the young and ridden horses to get auctioned today.
The absolute auction topper was Feeling D'Eau Grenou (by Canturo), a six-year-old mare who will leave for France for just under 100.000 euro.
For the beautiful Ogano Sitte gelding Quint vd Litzemaere there was a real bidding war. Bidders from Belgium and Canada did everything they could to win the five-year-old chestnut. In the end, it were the Belgian bidders who came out on top. Quint will stay on Belgian territory for 62.000 euro.
Nancy (by VDL Glasgow vh Merelsnest) was sold for 50.000 euro. The 4-year old mare moves to Sweden.
Among the unridden horses Bellissimo van Sombeke Z (by Balou du Rouet) was sold the most expensive. The 3-year old gelding will make the first steps of his career in Ecuador.
"Of course we are very satisfied with the outcome of our two auction days," said the organisation. "We saw interest from different countries and are surprised ourselves that Bellissimo will leave for Ecuador.
We would also like to thank all the breeders and clients for the confidence in our team and Arnaud Dewaele for the mediation of the six-year-old Canturo mare. We are looking forward to the next edition".
