Danish Warmblood press release
50 out of 65 foals changed ownership at the Danish Warmblood Elite Foal Auction on Saturday night at Vilhelmsborg where Helgstrand Dressage acquired the top priced foal
In a packed show hall with 950 dining guests, the Danish Warmblood Elite Foal Auction proved to be a festive event Saturday night at Vilhelmsborg. The auction of this very attractive collection of foals was live streamed on Clipmyhorse and followed by sport horse enthusiasts in many parts of the world.
Auctioneer Casper Cassøe succeeded in selling 50 out of 65 foals (76.9%) to buyers from Austria, Denmark, Dubai and Luxemburg for a total turnover of 665,000 euro. The price highlight of the auction was the fabulous filly by Fürstenball x Blue Hors Romanov, named Vianna. She is out of the same dam line as the international dressage star Mistral Højris, and she is a regional foal show winner having scored 10 for trot.
Thomas Sigtenbjerggaard from Helgstrand Dressage was present at the auction and had his boss, Andreas Helgstrand on the telephone from the European Championships in Gothenborg. They had no doubt that Vianna was more than suitable for Helgstrand Dressage and they were very content to get the last bid on this outstanding filly at the knock-down price of 57,000 euro.
The Danish breeders are mostly known for producing dressage horses of very high international quality but there are also very successful breeders of show jumping horses and strong dam lines of international jumping blood in Denmark. An excellent representative of Danish breeding of show jumpers is the colt foal Cordento II by Cornet Obolensky x Cardento. Sold for 40,000 euro this outstanding colt foal remained on Danish hands.
Head of auction, Louise Ringsbo, has expressed her excitement about the exceptionally high quality of the foals in this collection.
– We are very pleased with the execution of the auction which has provided us with new clients and a massive interest from abroad. The foals have obtained a good price level, and we were very happy to be able to sell the foals in front of a large and supportive crowd.
