2004 Vechta Spring Elite Auction

Blumenmädchen Alexa Westendarp

April 24, 2004

While Marne had her first purchase at the Vechta Elite auction in her life, Alexa Westendarp also made her debut at the auction. It was Alexa's first time "working" for the Vechta auction team as flower girl. Alexa is the 6-year old daughter of auction team rider Johannes Westendarp and his lovely wife Ines Westendarp.

"She was very nervous the day before when she was picking out what to wear for the auction," Ines confessed. Alexa looked wonderful wearing her hair in a nice bun with a red ribbon around it, a white blouse and a cute tweed checkered skirt.

Everytime a horse gets sold, the buyer has to sign an "invoice" to confirm the purchase and receives a beautiful bouquet of flowers in the Oldenburg colors (red, white, blue), together with a framed pictures of the horse, a fruit bowl, and two glasses of champagne. Walking in between two Vechta hostesses, Alexa had to hand the bouquet to the buyer each time. She did her job like a true professional.
