Following the first successful edition of the Chosen Auction, organizers Waël Ezzedine, Damien Haelterman, and Juan Carlos Perez, immediately made it clear that it would not remain a one-off. For the second edition, the team selected 14 “Chosen Talents” that will go under the digital hammer from June 13 to 15, 2021.

“We think that the horses we have selected for this edition will appeal to an even wider public,” said the organizing trio. “We have even added a hunter to our Chosen Talents to meet the wishes of the hunter riders as well.

“Last year, we could already speak of a successful first edition, but we expect perhaps even more from these Chosen Talents,” continued the Chosen Auction organizers in a joint statement. “During filming of the promotional videos, we were again impressed by the exceptional qualities of our selected horses. We have selected 12 young talents, between the ages of four and nine, who we are almost certain will jump at the highest level one day. We think that is the strength of our Chosen Talents: they all have the qualities to jump bigger classes and yet are easy enough for any type of rider. They will get good results with amateurs as well as with more experienced and professional riders. All of our Chosen Talents are very competitive because, at the end of the day, every rider wants to win, whether you are a professional or an amateur.
