The 2022 Canadian Warmblood Spring Riding horse sale saw a small group of top-quality horses get auctioned off online April 22 – 25. These horses ranged in age from just coming three-year-olds up to seasoned show veterans who were mainly Canadian-bred. The consignors presented a well turned out and prepared group of horses for presentation days and an incredible group of volunteers helped to make the day run more smoothly.

Proving that the Canadian market is alive and well, all horses were sold within Canada, from BC to QC, for a sale average of $31,375. Top seller was the beautiful four-year-old grey prospect under saddle, Juno VF (Hitchcock Van Overis x Parco), who was bred and consigned by Valleyfield Farm. This petite mare is a jumping bean who showed incredible scope and great technique through the chute, combined with age-appropriate show experience and a great mind. The final bid was an impressive $72,000; she will remain in AB.

The second highest-selling prospect under saddle was the gorgeous chestnut mare Luminescence (Don Quixote x Fils De Lully) who was bred and consigned by Klondike Victory Farm. This elegant mare is light on experience but has great potential and a mind to match. She will head out to B.C. for a final bid of $26,500.
