Peter Storr Buys Verden Equitop Price Highlight Cocofino

November 21, 2002

Cocofino is the name of the new most expensive horse ever sold on an Equitop-auction in Verden. The first-class British dressage rider Peter Storr bought the Cordoba/Weltmeyer-son (breeder: H. Bolte, Syke-Okel) at 76.000,- Euro. The chestnut gelding with the impressive movements descends from the successful breed of state premium mare Goldlady. She was a winning mare at the federal mare show and winner of the German Agricultural Show competition.

This November-auction was the brilliant final of 2002: With the new top horse, crowned by an excellent average sales price of 11.732,47 EUR for 77 horses sold, the Hanoverian Association looks back on the second best auction year in his history.

The black mare Ecstasy E.H. by Espri/Pik Bube (Breeder: E. Höhn, Celle), was runner up in the price range. She was sold at 31.000,- EUR and will find her new home in the United States. Foreign customers took again an active part in this auction: 43 % of all horses sold in the Niedersachsenhalle will be exported. Italian customers bought 7 horses with the popular brand on the hindquarters. 6 horses will move to Great Britain, five to the United States.
