At
the 54th Elite Auction for Oldenburger Sport horse the
top knock down price was only a bare 180,000 DM. Due
to the Foot and Mouth Disease in Europe, many international
buyers feared importation difficulties and stayed away from the auction.
Nevertheless,
a decent 180,000DM was paid for Schatzinsel, a black
mare by Sandro Hit x Sion x Intervall. The three year
old was praised for her exorbitant class, and an American
buyer felt inspired to claim ownership. Second most
expensive youngster was Sinopoli. The four-year-old
gelding by Sandro Hit x Imperator x Goldstern moved
to a dressage stable in Berlin for 150,000DM.
That
Sandro Hit seems to be the sire hot in the market and that was
proven by the sale of Silver Suprise. This dapple grey
stallion by Sandro Hit x Feinbrand x Camden Town xx
is licensed with the Oldenburg Verband under the name
Subito. The auction catalog described Silver Surprise
as " a white dream with an ultra modern silhouette
and manners to soften your heart. The 2001 German Young
Horse Championships may come!" Silver Surprise
cost $140,000 and moved to Westfalen.

Premium in 2000. She was sold to Belgium for 105,000DM.
