P.S.I. Auction: Auction Team Ready for the Big Time

December 8, 2003

Paul Schockemohle, Uwe Heckmann and Ullrich KasselmannAlthough the Gala Ball is a highlight of the P.S.I. weekend, the true apex is of course the auction, for which many spectators and the creme de la creme of auction shoppers gather in Ankum, Germany.

The 2003 P.S.I. Auction was the 24th edition of this exclusive sale of young dressage and show jumping horses. P.S.I. is a company run by Paul Schockemöhle and Ullrich Kasselmann. Gestut Lewitz and Hof Kasselmann raise, select, buy and train top talented horses and annually build up a collection of the world's best sport horses for the auction.

This year only 30% of the horses were bred and raised by themselves, the other 70% was purchased. Besides offering World Champion and double Bundeschampion Poetin for sale, P.S.I had several bundeschampionate finalists and winners as well as the World Young Horse Show jumping Champion Run DMC in the show jumping lot.

Germany's most beloved auctioneer Uwe Heckmann has been auctioning for P.S.I. for many years and continues to dazzle and entertain the audience with his guttural German speech and his tic nerveux "Zum." Heckmann knows how to play audience and clients and has an exceptional feeling for timing, when to send out Joseph "Klaphi" Klaphake to discuss raising a price with potential buyers.
