Right from the beginning Status Quo II advanced to the top price of the third auction of the Verden Foal Spring. The expressive colt changed hands for 40,500 Euros. All together, the 29 talented youngsters achieved an average price of 9,259 Euros.  

The typical chestnut foal Status Quo II by Secret/Sandro Hit achieved a hammer price of 40,500 Euros after 56 bids. The high interest in the long-legged and strong-moving colt became obvious early on. Customers from Canada showed the most perseverance. Foals bred by Willi Sauerland from Rhade, who died last year, are no strangers to the Verden auction stage. Already in 2019 he sired the full brother Status Quo, who was auctioned for 25,000 Euros.  

With his first foals of the year, the celebrated premium stallion Rom also presented his first foal at a Verden auction. Rio by Rom/Stedinger (breeder and sire: Holger Wilms GbR, Hinte) convinced a renowned dressage trainer from Hesse and will be sold for 14,000 Euros.

Big Future by Big Star/Contendro (breeder and exhibitor: ZG Eggerking, Brinkum) left the Verden auction as the most expensive foal bred for jumping. Equipped with a top class jumper pedigree, the impressive colt convinced customers from Argentina. When the clock ran down, the virtual hammer fell at 15,500 Euros. 

On average, interested buyers had to pay 9,259 Euros for a foal. 12 foals were purchased by international customers from Canada, the USA, Spain, Finland, Argentina, Croatia, Denmark, France and Austria, while 17 Hanoverian youngsters are growing up in Germany.  

The next opportunity to purchase an excellent Hanoverian foal directly at the source in Verden will be on 9 June. The last online auction of the Verden Foal Spring will take place on 23 June.
