PRESS RELEASE
Münster: 25 stallions with dressage pedigrees were for sale on Monday evening. For the first time the auction was held as an OnLive auction. The champion stallion by Fair Game aroused the highest desires. He changed hands for 800,000 Euros. On average, the international clientele invested 143,432 Euros in the stallions.
The stallion sales of the dressage stallions ended the first two licensing days at the Westfälisches Pferdestammbuch e.V. on Monday evening. With a top price of 800,000 Euros, the champion stallion of this year's licensing left the auction hall. The son of Fair Game/Destano (breeder: Konrad Mensch, Erolheim; exhibitor: Joachim Scherer, Neunkirchen-Seelscheid) impressed not only the licensing commission. In an exciting bidding duel, customers from Denmark, who bid on site, secured the stunning black moving artist. With rhythm and energy the stallion showed himself in the arena even this evening. The 1st Reserve Champion also aroused great desire. The Diamond Deluxe/Lissaro son (breeder and exhibitor: Wilhelm Rüscher-Konnermann, Greven) was the favorite of customers who bid online for a long time. In the end, two strong customers found themselves in the hall fighting for the pretty bay. For 600,000 euros, he too will move to a box in Denmark. The 2nd reserve champions cost 172,000 Euro (head number 1) and 226,000 Euro (head number 15). Eight stallions broke the 100,000 Euro barrier.
The OnLive auction system was tested for the first time with HORSE 24 GmbH at the stallion sales. "We are very satisfied with the course of the auction. Everything worked out well so that the customers were able to bid live on site as well as at home on the screens without any problems", auction manager Thomas Münch is pleased to report. A total of 25 stallions were for sale. Among them the Champion Stallion, the Reserve Champion and the two 2nd Reserve Champion Stallions. A further five premium stallions were offered for sale. Four of the offered stallions were not licensed. On average, the international clientele invested 143,432 Euros in the 22 stallions sold. Four bids were won online. Half of the stallions will have their new homes outside of Germany.
