21st Elite Spring Auction of Westfalian Sport Horses
Best Ever!
At
the 21st Elite Spring Auction for Westfalian Sport Horses
the highest average ever has been achieved. With 56.705
DM as average price for a Westfalian youngster, this
auction broke its own record. Of the 44 horses sold
in the auction, five of them reached a price higher
than 100,000 DM. The top knock down price was 420,000
DM which is still far below last winter's record of
600,000 DM for Dollmann (sold to Elizabeth Lewis of
the USA). St George, a three year old chestnut
stallion by Licensing Champion St Tropez x Brentano
II x Matcho AA, was sold to France. Bred by Hans Bockholt
from Steinfurt (GER) and formerly owned by Ernst Kemper
from Borken (GER), St George has it all to become a
true dressage champion.
Farwick,
named after Munster-Handorf rider Michael Farwick who
won the World Championships for young dressage horses
with his stallion Laurentianer, was the second most
expensive mount. For 320,000 DM, Farwick was purchased
by the sponsor of internationally renowned dressage
rider and trainer Rudolf Zeilinger. Farwick is by Fidermark
x Potsdam x Captain and was bred by Karin und Helmut
Bosserhoff from Hünxe.
The
World Magic x Florestan x Don Juan descendant Werbespot
ended in third position in the knock down price charts.
The 17.0hh liver chestnut stallion was bred by Norbert
Borgmann from Ostbevern and presented in the auction
by Christoph Rawert from Coesfeld. The six-year old
show jumper Peggy Sue (by Pit I x Paradox) was, with
a price of 125,000 DM, the most expensive show jumper
of the collection.
Wellness, a liver chestnut stallion by World Magic
x Florestan, reached a price of 115,000 DM, while stable
mate Weltmann, a bay gelding by Weltfeuer x Davignon,
got sold for 114,000 DM.
The international interest was moderate at this auction,
probably due to the Foot and Mouth disease in Europe.
Switzerland was the top foreign buying country in Munster.
