33 future hopefuls were on offer at the third round of the Verden Foal Spring. The filly "Freude Pur" (Pure Joy) achieved the top price of 40,000 euros. She set the exclamation mark on a collection for which an average of 7,210 euro had to be invested.
Nine bidders placed a total of 70 bids for the Federer/Dantes Junior daughter Freude Pur (breeder and exhibitor: Hendrik Schäfer, Köchingen). The virtual hammer fell at 40,000 euro for a well-known international Grand Prix rider from Belgium, who had encountered strong bidders. The blood of the 2010 team world champion, Hunters Douglas Sunrise with Imke Schellekens-Bartels, runs through the veins of the dark bay beauty from the renowned Schneiderin line.
20,500 euros was the final bid for O'Giulia by Opoque/Don Deluxe (breeder and exhibitor: Johannes Baumeister, Kranenburg). The dark chestnut mare, equipped with the best dressage genes, will grow up in Austria with the aim of competing in international dressage.
In addition, there were several all-rounder offered in this collection. Darling by Duplexx/Ballybo (breeder and exhibitor: Hartwig von Holten, Engelschoff) was worth 8,000 euros to customers and will remain in Germany for further rearing.
The online foal auctions on Thursday evening take place every two weeks. The next opportunity to purchase a Hannoveraner foal directly at the source in Verden will be in 14 days on June 6. The Verden Foal Spring ends on June 27.
On Sunday, May 26, there will also be a foal auction at the RC Rosenbusch show jumping competition in Bremen-Oberneuland. Eight foals with top-class jumper pedigrees will be waiting for new owners before the Grand Prix is decided at 3 pm.
