Münster: The 2nd Westphalian Embryo and Broodmare Auction was a great success. Seven embryos were sold at an average price of 11,929 Euros. Star sire Chacco-Blue is the sire of the two most popular embryos. Of the four broodmares offered, all found a new owner. In total, the Westphalian Stud Book turned over 129,750 Euros that evening.
The customers of the Westphalian Stud Book were looking into the future this evening. Of the twelve embryos offered for sale, seven changed hands at an average price of 11,929 Euros. The embryos are partly carried out in their genetic mothers, partly in surrogate mothers. One was sold as a frozen embryo. Once again, the great popularity of the offspring of Chacco-Blue, who died much too early, was evident.
The undisputed top of the lot was an implanted embryo by Chacco-Blue out of a genetic dam by Heartbreaker (breeder and exhibitor: Thomas Heineking, Stolzenau). Numerous successful sport horses descend from this dam line. Among them Jade vd Bisschop, who placed sixth at the European Championships in Riesenbeck with the Belgian Peter Devos. The embryo changed hands at the knockdown price of 26,500 Euros. The second place in the price structure also went to an offspring of Chacco-Blue. The embryo (breeder: Luc J.J. Poels, Rippershausen; exhibitor: Stall Breitenloh GmbH, Rippershausen) has a daughter of Nabab de Reve as the genetic mother. The current Olympic Champion Explosion W, who also has the powerful jumping Chacco-Blue as his sire, also descents from this direct dam line. This embryo was sold for 17,500 Euros.
Besides the embryos, there were also four broodmares for sale in this auction. Three of them were in foal, one with a guaranteed pregnancy for 2023. All four changed hands for an average price of 11,563 Euros. The eight-year-old Cilvia Z aroused the highest desires. The Clinton/Pilot daughter (breeder: Luc J.J. Poels, Rippershausen; exhibitor: Stall Breitenloh GmbH, Rippershausen) produced with a son by Chacco-Blue the top priced foal at a Westphalian foal auction in 2020. She is the half sister of twelve highly successful show jumpers. In foal to Hardrock Z, she was worth 23,500 Euros to her new owner from the USA.
In total, the Westphalian Stud Book turned over 129,750 Euros this evening. "The result of our second embryo auction shows that the interest especially from German customers great. We are planning another embryo auction for the second half of 2022," said auction manager Thomas Münch about the satisfactory result.
