Vechta auction prices

[FrodoBeutlin]

Just looking at the results from yesterday's auction in Vechta, and can't get over the fact that a nine-year-old licensed stallion, who has been trained for months by Karin Rehbein and is ready to show GP, "only" went for 170,000 euros while top price was a three-year-old gelding with certainly a fantastic trot and canter, but with a walk which is, really, pretty average

And he went for 505,000

Which one was top price?

A Don Primero gelding called Don Primeur, no.11 here:

Yes but you have to remember in auctions that it only takes two people to bump up the price if you are both desperate to buy it.

i never would have picked Don Primeur as the top price. nice horse but very ordinary walk. Hocks are out behind in the trot, but yes it does have a lovely canter.

I wish I had a sugar daddy who could have bought Starlight for me, he looks totally gorgeous.

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

Glad you agree with me on the walk. I never thought that anybody would spend that kind of money on a horse with a less than exceptional walk.

Wish somebody had bought Starlight for me too - and he was a bargain wasn't he?

For the approx. 4,500 foals born each year in the Oldenburg breeding area, - That is a lot of foals just for one area, god no wonder they have better odds in the breeding stakes!
