The first part of the two-day Youhorse.auction was successfully concluded with most of the 2- and 3-yr-olds going to new stables abroad, but the KWPN stallion Monseigneur de la Loge (by Ideal de la Loge) stays in the Netherlands. Mario Everse and Alan Waldman, the driving force behind Youhorse.auction, bought him jointly for 19,500 euro from seller Rinus Blom.

“The idea behind it all is that we accept the kind of horses for our auction that we would like to own ourselves. Such as this stallion from the Roosakker line. To be honest, we had expected a higher price. It is a real good horse. In the last twenty seconds of the auction we decided we wanted to get him for ourselves. We are dealers, after all, so this one is still for sale,” Mario Everse explains.

Auction topper on day 1 was Maximus, a 3-yr-old grey stallion by Etoulon VDL x Berlin. A regular client of Alan Waldman and Mario Everse from the USA eventually outbid a buyer from the United Emirates for 36,000 euro. Soon after that, the Arabian bought Comme il Dame (Comme il Faut x Lancer II) for 10,000 euro.
