Mario Everse predicted in September that the October edition of Youhorse.auction would be one for the history books — and this week, that promise was more than fulfilled! The Comme Il Faut daughter Carambia BP shattered the auction record with a final sale price of €115,000.
After a top sale of €81,500 on the first night, the bar was raised even higher on Wednesday evening, thanks to the eight-year-old Westfalen mare Caramia BP (Comme Il Faut x Coriano). Undisclosed Canadian buyers set their sights on the mare, who has show experience up to the 1.45m level. The catalogue describes her as possessing “a lot of quality, a big heart and a strong desire to do a good job. She is also suitable for Children and Junior riders.”
Caramia’s sire Comme il Faut, the son of Olympic horses Cornet Obolensky and Ratina Z, had a successful career under Marcus Ehning. More than 20 of his offspring have already broken through at the 1.60m level. Dam Cheyenne 844 (Coriano x Alcatraz) competed in the 1.40m divisions.
