โ€œA fantastic result. Despite the fact that we had to run the auction online this year, it was the best edition so farโ€, says co-organizer Peter van der Waaij, who together with Suus Kuyten, Harrie Wiering and Jasper van der Waaij organized The Youngsters for the third time.


The 6-year-old mare Jikke-Cara (Denzel van 't Meulenhof x Casco) has been sold to USAโ€™s top rider Kent Farrington - former world number one and currently number seven on the Longines ranking. The sale was mediated by Christophe Zimmermann and Janne-Friederike Meyer-Zimmermann.
Not to be overshadowed, the runner up top-seller, the highly talented 6-year-old Jylord (Mylord Carthago x Nimmerdor) was sold for 70,000 and will go to Canadian soil.


The German couple Meyer-Zimmermann also struck gold themselves. Magnolia WS (Inaico VDL x For Pleasure) became the most expensive 3-year-old and will go to the top stable of Christophe and Janne-Friederike Meyer-Zimmermann for 52,000 euros.


Big names from all over the world hit their stride; not only were horses sold to Poland, the United States, Norway, Germany, Turkey, Denmark, Finland and the United Kingdom, but as many as three horses went to France. An owner of former world number one Simon Delestre bought the 4-year-old Lot of Pleasure WS (For Pleasure x Chin Chin), 3-year-old Rana (Kannan x Sioux de Baugy) and the 6-year-old Levita Z (Levisto Alpha Z x Gem of India).
