Münster: 30 dressage-orientated young talents were up for sale this evening at the Westphalian online auction. 77 per cent of these found a new owner at an average price of 7,739 euro. A colt from the first vintage of Vino Tinto advanced to the top price of 31,000 euros.
The head number 1 in this auction lot was Vivant Vino. He is a son of Vino Tinto, who found his new home in the Netherlands last year at the Westphalian Spring Auction at a hammer price of 161,000 euros. This evening, 14 parties competed for the knockdown of his son, who was bred by Noortje Radstake, Netherlands, out of the Verb.Pr.St. Rubiera by Fontaine TN. The bids came from England, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Germany. The virtual hammer for the strong moving bay finally fell with the 40th bid at 31,000 euros.
Head number 3 Vivalesco JD also cracked the 10,000 euro mark. Once again, it was the stallion Va Bene from the Wadenspanner stallion station, whose offspring have already impressed in previous online auctions this year. This son of Va Bene/Escolar (breeder and exhibitor: Dieter Joachim, Delbrück) descents from the damline of Florenciano, who was successful in Grand Prix competitions under the saddle of Hubertus Schmidt. The young stallion was knocked down to Luxembourg at a hammer price of 16,000 euros.
A total of 23 of the 30 foals on offer changed hands this evening. With an average price of 7,739 Euros, the Westphalian Studbook realised a total turnover of 178,000 Euros. Six of the foals sold will grow up outside of Germany in the future.
