Interestingly bred foals
On average, the foals brought in more than 12,500 euros tonight and almost 80% has actually been sold. “We can say that this auction seems to meet the need. The collection stood out because of the interestingly bred foals, all from a good dam line. This is well received by showjumping horse enthusiasts, with a striking number of foreign bidders joining in tonight. This first edition was a success and worth repeating," said Wim Versteeg.
