The inaugural Spring Riding horse sale presented by Canadian Warmblood – Alberta Chapter and hosted by ClipMyHorse held April 23-26, 2021 was a resounding success. Twelve of the fifteen horses found new homes, including the two hotly-contested FEI competitors.
The hammer fell at well over $90,000 in the final moments on two mares, Letty Boo and Elle Carrara. The high-selling performance horse was Lot #3 Letty Boo who has a long and extensive record in both the U25 and the FEI competitions with a young rider. With the final bid of $94,000 this beautiful Lesotho x Kolibri DSP mare will be making her way to Illinois to continue her career with Scott Lisitza.
Lot #10 the stunning Elle Carrara was the second high seller with a final bid of $92,000. This Canadian Warmblood, Tempranillo x Indorado mare will be moving just a couple of hours away to Calgary, AB, to continue her Grand Prix winning ways under the ownership of Carrera Horses Inc.
Next was the handsome and chill Lot #9 Chuxerio Z who brought $43,500. This Chopin x Luxury Z Zangersheide stallion will be heading to Kelowna BC to train at Patrick Investments with Terri Cormier.
The other two horses with show miles were Lot #5 the gorgeous black CWB mare Sapphire (Emerald x Calido I) who will remain in Calgary AB with Anna Dumoulin and Lot #1 the elegant KWPN – NA mare Janieka BF (Bosch Blue x Damiro) who will head to Sorine Winther Holdings of Prince George BC.
In the prospects under saddle division, a lovely collection of ready-to-start three-year-olds to ready-to-show 4- and 5-year-olds were offered. The elegant Casparo x Quidam Blue Hann gelding Comic was the high seller of this division with the final bid of $31,000. He will be making his way to Christine Dubord of Oakville ON.
In the schoolmaster division was the phenomenal 1.60m horse Granit S who is ready to step down and take care of a very lucky rider. For a final price of $41,000 he will now be heading down to Battle Ground, Washington, to compete with Winning Time Training / Zoe Conlee.
