After a sunny opening on Tuesday, Youhorse.auction concluded the Early Spring Auction on Wednesday evening, March 4, in the same spring-like atmosphere. The young horses attracted significant interest, with the four-year-old Zangersheide stallion Discovery KD standing out as the highlight of the evening, achieving the highest bid at €45,000.
The talented Discovery KD (Dominator 2000 Z x Clinton) was secured by a buyer from South Africa, who invested in future sport potential with two purchases. The four-year-old mare Joy H Z (Joviaal ES x Cantos) also sparked an intense bidding duel. She will move to Italy, where her sporting career will continue to develop.
Not only the younger generation appealed to buyers; horses with more competition experience were also in demand. The eight-year-old mare S-La Belle (I’m Special de Muze x Golden Hawk) will continue her career in Slovakia.
Spring feeling at Youhorse.auction
Organizer Mario Everse looks back with satisfaction from the Sunshine Tour in Spain: “We have just completed two strong auction evenings, with top prices of €90,000 and €45,000. Here at the Sunshine Tour, we see many former auction horses competing, and that remains wonderful to witness. It is often a reunion with clients and riders who found their horses through Youhorse.auction. When you see how well those horses are performing, it gives you tremendous energy. With spring approaching, we are already looking forward to the next auction.”
European buyers
The Early Spring collection once again found its way to buyers around the world, although this time it was primarily European investors who made their mark. Germany took the lead after the first evening and maintained its position with a total of seven purchases. The Czech Republic and the United States followed with six purchases each. Italy and Slovakia completed the top five, each securing five new additions.
New opportunities
The next opportunity to secure a talented horse through Youhorse.auction is just around the corner. The Easter Auction is scheduled for Tuesday, April 7.
“We will once again present a strong collection of showjumping talents,” says Mario Everse. “The video and selection days for this auction will take place on Monday, March 16 and Tuesday, March 17. Anyone wishing to sell a standout sport horse can register here”
