With €18,000 paid for the Vitalis embryo out of the mare Roletta PS (s.Revolution), the KWPN Online Broodmare & Embryo Auction, which concluded yesterday, proved successful. The dressage-bred embryo, originating from a strong dam line including Sandro Hit and Diamond Hit, was purchased by a buyer from Portugal.

Two lots were sold for €15,000. The seven-year-old Oillily (s.Eldorado van de Zeshoek), in foal to Newmarket VM and from the renowned Walve line, remained in Dutch ownership. The same applied to the embryo by Dynamic Dream out of Bretton Woods (Bretton’s Bijou), which comes from a highly influential dressage family.

Above €12,000
Richenelle (s.Fontaine TN) and Rock Daranka MB (s.Taminiau) also surpassed the €10,000 mark. Richenelle, in foal to Viva Vitalis and related to Olympic dressage horses, sold for €14,000. The five-year-old Rock Daranka MB, in foal to Renzo and from a proven sport family, was sold for €12,000 to a buyer from the United States. The average price for the in-foal mares was €9,076, while the embryos averaged €13,500. The collection consisted of fifteen in-foal mares and three embryos and attracted buyers from several countries, including Cyprus, Spain and Finland.
