Youhorse.auction exited 2022 with a bang when 40 horses in the Christmas collection received interest from all corners of the world. It was “a fitting closure of a successful auction year,” according to Mario Everse of the 30th Youhorse.auction organized by himself and Alan Waldman. “We managed to conclude the year with a fine collection. This time we had no special price highlights, but reached a fine average price. In addition, quite a lot of horses found new owners and that is the most important thing,” says Everse.
“We have welcomed a great deal of clients in 2022 and sell many really good horses. It is pleasant that we have gained the confidence of the better breeders who offer their stock time and again. Sometimes it is hard, for there are a great many auctions. The market decides and that is what makes auctions so exciting. Fortunately, everybody is enthusiastic, so we move into the new year full of confidence.”
Just last week the seven-year-old Dou Cati (Douglas x Couleur Rubin) won two classes at the 1.20m and 1.30m level. Canadian buyers realized her potential and placed the winning bid of 30,000 euros. Buyers from the USA also scored their last Christmas presents, no less than five horses. One of these is Ti Amigo (For Pleasure x Power Light), the full brother to Olympic team gold winner Flora de Mariposa. The three-yearr-old chestnut stallion’s free jumping qualities earned a final bid of 18,000 euros.
