In most online auctions from Youhorse.auction, youngsters and ridden horses claim the limelight, but on Tuesday night, March 8th, the auction clock ran for embryos, broodmares and straws of frozen sperm. The embryos that were described as favourites quickly found new owners all over the world.
An embryo by Emerald van ’t Ruytershof out of the talented grand prix mare Lizziemary, ridden by Danielle Waldman-Goldstein (ISR), from which no offspring had ever been auctioned before, was claimed by a client of Alan Waldman’s for 50,000 euro.
“It will be an amazing foaling season for those who bought from our breeding auction, for there were many very special ones. Which was immediately reflected by the bidding,” says Mario Everse, who together with Alan Waldman had organized this 20th auction.
