Buying horses online at Youhorse.auction has earned a worldwide reputation and so, on Tuesday night October 5th there was a heated battle for several showjumping horses. Two were sold for 60,000 euro and one for 50,000 euro – super motivation for the auction organizers Mario Everse and Alan Waldman, but also for the sellers of the horses.
“To be quite honest, we were not totally surprised about the good prices. We had some real good horses in this collection and their prices conformed more or less to the market but… you still have to sell them and reach the right people. Besides several sales to well-known clients, there were again many newcomers with confidence in our auction and that means a lot to us,” said Everse.
A total of 27 horses were offered in this 15th online auction, four of which will go to the USA, three to Mexico and two to Canada. There were also purchases from Spain, France, Great Britain, Estonia, Finland and one from the Netherlands. Several riders managed to make useful additions to their stables; a well-known German eventing and showjumping rider also came shopping again and put down 30,000 euro for the four-year-old, powerfully jumping Meerstad (Global Express x Cardento VDL).
