“It felt like we were playing Santa Claus ourselves,” laughed Mario Everse. “The fact that buyers purchase horses without seeing them in person speaks volumes about the trust they have in our selection. That trust, combined with the hard work of our auction team, enables us to create new memories with every auction alongside contributors and buyers. The rising quality of the offerings and the increasing trust from everyone involved is a huge motivation for us.”
