Donna Frederica achieved the highest price / Great international interest in Hanoverian horses

On this year’s summer auction, 105 Hanoverian horses were sold at an average auction sales price of EUR 9,969.00. This was the second best result of a summer auction ever achieved up to now. In the run-up of the World Championships of Young Dressage Horses that are staged next weekend, 44 horses (approx. 40%) were sold to foreign countries. The biggest willingness to buy came from the United States: 17 Hanoverian horses will travel to the New World. Each five horses will travel to Canada, Denmark, Great Britain and Italy. Each two buyers came from Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden.

The Don Primero/Falkland-daughter Donna Frederica (breeder: Reinhard Wossmeyer, Weyhe; exhibitor: Hermann Kleemeyer, Weyhe) was the most expensive horse. The Danish stud farm Blue Hors bought the pretty black dressage prospect at EUR 35,000.00. The stallion station became popular because of Blue Hors Cavan, one of the most successful european dressage horses with Lars Petersen.

Es Piero by Espri/Gluecksgriff (breeder and exhibitor Udo Wichert, Loxstedt-Nesse) was the runner-up on this price scale. The chestnut gelding will also move into this famous tournament stable, and the successful danish businessman paid EUR 31,000.00 for it. The third-highest price was paid for Westernhagen by Wolkentanz/Rubinstein (breeder: Petra Schrader-Recker, Westerloy; exhibitor: Thomas Blass, Groß Roscharden). The liver chestnut stallion will also travel abroad.

New Hanoverian friends from the United States bought their first horse on a Verden auction and paid EUR 30,000.00 for it. The most expensive show jumping horse was Campino by Contender/Ritual, sold at EUR 24,000.00 to the Netherlands. The auction team was quite satisfied with the result. There were ups and downs in the big quantity of auction horses. However, 16 Hanoverian prospects were sold at more than EUR 15,000.00 and, therefore, the result was satisfying.
