Westphalian Foal Auction during amateur championships

Westfälisches Pferdestammbuch highly satisfied

Münster: For the second time Westfälisches Pferdestammbuch organised a live foal auction as part of the Laub Immobiliengruppe German Amateur Championship. An ambience that once again proven to be fitting.  Of the 17 foals offered for auction, 15 successfully changed hands tonight. The customers on site and on the phone invested an average of 10,533 Euros in the foals.

The successful first edition of a foal auction at the amateur championships in Münster-Handorf was repeated this evening. In front of a full audience, 17 finely selected foals presented themselves. Bidders were not only found among the regular customers but also among the participants of the championships.  15 foals changed hands this evening at an average price of 10,533 Euros. Six of them cracked the 10,000 euro mark. "We are more than satisfied with this result!" summed up the Managing Director of the Westfälisches Pferdestammbuch, Carsten Rotermund, directly after the auction.

The most popular offer was a filly with a pedigree predispositioned for jumping. The daughter of Contact Me/Cornet Obolensky (breeder and exhibitor: Johannes Jakobs jun., Paderborn) asked for an exciting bidding duel. The hammer of auctioneer Thomas Münch finally fell at a price of 18,000 Euros. Cassiopaia, who descents from a highly successful dam line, will grow up in North Rhine-Westphalia. The first foal on the dressage ring in Münster-Handorf immediately attracted the attention of the dressage experts. The strong moving Valdiviani/Vitalis son Vito (breeder and exhibitor: Bernd Börger, Lennestadt) changed ownership for 17,000 Euros. A stallion prospect, who surely has an excellent future ahead of him.

The blood of Vitalis was in great demand that evening. The last foal in the ring was a son of Valverde. The stallion, successful in sport and breeding, is a direct son of Vitalis. From the breeding of Karl-Gerd Kohnert, Rödinghausen, Vassilios came onto the auction floor in Münster-Handorf and made it exciting once more. He came in late and aroused the interest of customers on the spot round after round. In the end, they recieved the bid for 16,500 Euros.

With this last foal auction in 2021, the Westfälisches Pferdestammbuch found a highly satisfying conclusion to this foal season.
