The fact that online shopping for horses is steadily gaining popularity was clearly demonstrated by Youhorse.auction on Tuesday night, May 4th, while celebrating its 10th edition since launching a year ago. A large number of show jumping horses – 38 – were offered for sale, with many sold abroad via mobile phone or computer. The most expensive horse, however, will remain in the Netherlands after being tried out by the new owner on the very day of the auction. The seven-year-old eyecatcher Joyterma (Emerald x Indorado), who recently started at 1.45m level for the first time, sold for 75,000 euro.
Norris (Romanov x Veron) will be coming to Canada.
Some of the clients at this edition were old hands, but this time mainly new clients grabbed their future stars. The USA purchased most of the horses (15), followed by Canada, where four will be headed to undisclosed buyers:
Norris (Romanov x Veron)
2018 KWPN gelding
Larilla (Arezzo VDL x Vingino)
2016 chestnut KWPN mare
Chicane (Berlin x Casall)
2018 bay Holsteiner gelding
Classic WZ (Carusso La Silla x Ginus)
2015 black Zangersheide gelding
Further sales were made by buyers in Qatar, Turkey, Poland, Sweden, Ireland, Great Britain and Germany. Some of the horses stayed in the Netherlands.
“We are terribly pleased. Several horses fetched good prices. There were riders buying, horse-owners who place their horses in training, but there were also good candidates for the trade,” said Mario Everse. This was demonstrated by showjumping horse dealer Teus van den Brink, who put down 19,000 euros for the three-year-old that showed a lot of quality in jumping, No Mercy PH (Untouchable x Chellano Z). The most expensive three-year-old, going for 30,000 euros, was Noordman Vigo (Vigo d’Arsouilles x Heartbreaker), who will leave for the USA.
Everse and Alan Waldman are already focussed on the next auction May 29-June 1. “Again we offer youngsters and horses under saddle. We invite sellers to register their horses for the auction. The selection days and photo/video-days are planned for 17 and 18 May.”
