At
the 104th Elite Auction for Hanoverian Sport Horses
29 out of 39 youngster were sold abroad. Statistics
show that more than 50% of the collection is being purchased
by foreign buyers over the last three two years. This
makes the Hanoverian Germany's most wanted breed world
wide. Top knock down price at this auction was a meagre
120,000DM (despite the 600,000 DM Verden record) for
the beautiful Werther x Calypso II mare Winora.
Bred by Hans-Heinrich Schmidt, Winore was sold to a
Swedish buyer who also saw great prospect in the dark
bay mare Habanera S (Hohentstein x Wenzel). Habanera
will move to Sweden for 75,000DM.
Americans
Dick and Jane Brown were fascinated by the capacities
of the chestnut mare Wolina (by Wolkentanz x
Bolero). For 112,000 DM, Wolina is flown to the USA
where she will most likely be further trained by Gunther
Seidel, who already presented the Verden auction horse
Graf George at the 1996 Olympic Games and 1998 World
Equestrian Games. Wolina is bred by Walter Willhaus
from Krummhörn, Germany.
Two more Hanoverians reached the magical line of 100,000DM.
The pithc black mare Wiwien by Weltmeyer x Ataturk
was bred by Joachim Wahlers from Reessum (GER) and will
stay in Niedersachsen. Campao, a Crazzy Classic descendant,
was sold for the same amount but is moving to Westfalen.
As usually, the United States was the top buying country
in Verden. With 10 out of 53 horses, the country is
importing the most Hanoverians from this elite auction.
Three horses are going to Canada and Switzerland. Two
will be further trained in Spain, England, Italy and
Sweden. One horse is going to Ukraine. Most expensive
foal sold at the coinciding foal auction was Donovan
Baily (De Niro x Rubinstein) sold for 41,000 DM.
