The Westphalian Stud Book had a fantastic start into the auction year 2022. The riding pony gelding with the head number 3 caused a real sensation. After an exciting bidding duel, the son of Hesselteich Golden Dream/FS Don't Worry (breeder and exhibitor: Alexa Prange, Netherlands) was sold to a highly talented young rider from Bavaria. The Palomino was worth 125,000 Euros to his new owners. We will certainly hear a lot more about this dressage pony with international quality in the future.

Among the dressage riding horses, the first horse reached the top price of 66,000 Euros. The licensed Filou Rouge by Floriscount/Quaterback (breeder: Volker Pardemann, Brieslang; exhibitor: Gestüt Finkenhorsterberg, Lütjensee) changed into the ownership of Helgstrand Dressage Aps. The strong moving chestnut will be trained in the future under the saddle of Eva Möller. On average, international customers invested 27,317 Euros in the 31 riding horses and ponies sold for the dressage ring.

The show jumpers on offer were also very popular and all of them changed hands this afternoon. Especially customers outside of Germany had taken a liking to the jumping athletes. The Coupe de Coeur/Conte Bellini daughter Cocolotti (breeder: Gornall Equestrian, Great Britain; exhibitor: Kai Ligges, Ascheberg-Herbern) descends from the direct dam line of the European Champion All Star. The bay mare was worth 78,500 Euros to her new owners. On average, customers invested 28,281 Euros in their new show jumping horse.
