[BlairandAzria]

Recession.....what recession....

WOW you wouldn,t want to strach your head or make any hand moments and end up paying for him!
He took it all in this stride the crowd and clapping amazing horse.

 

[OneInAMillion]

rather yummy though!

 

[orangepony]

Oh my lord!
Beautiful horse though!
When I was there it was a real "don't move your hands" moment (and they were peanuts compared to this one! well, peanuts at 400k anyway!!).

Amazing atmosphere, if i had that much money I'd love to buy a horse simply so everyone claps at the end!!

 

[MillionDollar]

How much did donnerpignon go for then?

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

Just speculation of course, but around 3 million is the figure I read.

 

[PapaFrita]

*gulp*
He is rather nice though
I wouldn't want to be one of those girls trying to catch any missed bids!!

It would be really interesting to see what these top priced youngsters end up doing and how successful they are to see if they are worth it or not !

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

Well a lot of top class horses were sold at Verden...Elvis and Weltall in primis...but really too many to mention.

This one is a stallion and has already proven himself at the BuCha, hence the price.
