Record Numbers at 2002 KWPN Select Sale
February 3, 2002
 Since
2000, the KWPN Select Sale, the official auction following
the Stallion Licensing, has been a success for the Dutch
Warmblood Association. The 2002 edition rose above all
expectancies of the audience, buyers and association
Ed Constant
from Wijdewormer, The Netherlands, paid the top price
of 360,000 € for the gorgeous Sir Sinclair (Lord
Sinclair x Flemmingh). Auctioneer Dirk Zagers hit this
knock down price of formerly 800,000 guilders for this
horse who will become the stable mate of licensed stallion
Riant (by Jazz).
Albert Winninghoff,
who already purchased two stallions at the very first
Select Sale, now acquired two new stallions. Winninghoff
bought Saumur-O (Narcos II x Animo) and the approved
Sibon le Sursaut (Heartbreaker x Oula Owl xx), the two
best show jumping horses from the Select Sale collection.
The KWPN Select Sale auction pioneered in offering the
possibility to purchase one of the Select Sale stallions
online. Two of them were sold through the internet to
an American buyer. Sjapoo (Caretino x Come On) and the
approved Stolen Heart (Heartbreaker x Voltaire) were
sold to the U.S. A syndicate constituted by Nico Witte,
Eugene Reesink, Bob Rijsdijk and Tim Collins became
the owner of the dressage prospect Sergio (Houston x
Zandigo).
