Youhorse.auction online attracted a great many foreign buyers. After the fifth edition on Tuesday night a major part of the collection of showjumping horses will go abroad. The 5-yr-old Kazelli VDL (Arezzo VDL x Indoctro) went for 39,000 euro as the auction topper and will leave for the USA. Mario Everse and Alan Waldman can look back at another successful auction. “With realistic prices for everyone’s taste, we sold them from 5,500 euro onwards.”

Italian entry

Sale-topper Kazelli VDL.

The fifth Youhorse.auction was another low-threshold occasion for buying a 2-yr-old or older showjumping horses. “It came as no suprise that Kazelli VDL would be the most expensive one. But it is a remarkable story. The selling Italians had once bought one at our auction and now wanted to sell a horse through our channel. We made a selection on the basis of videos sent to us and had Kazelli VDL come over to the Netherlands. This is a good development, because also the market in Italy is quiet as a result of the Coronavirus. And she is a very interesting showjumping horse. She is bound to jump Grand Prix in the future. I would have liked her for myself,” Mario Everse admits.

Four to the USA

Kazelli VDL, born at VDL Stud, is a full sister of the 8-yr-old Hilfiger VDL, sold to Jan Tops and placed at international 1.40m level. In all, four horses were sold to the USA, including the 3-yr-old stallion Floris R Z (For Pleasure x Hors la Loi II) for 25,000 euro and the 3-yr-old Ciao Bello (Comilfo Plus x Inshallah de Muze) for 19,500 euro.
