Worldwide interest for first edition Grand Prix Sales Online
Top results in first edition of Grand Prix Sales on Friday and Saturday night.
A lot of professional stables from The Netherlands and abroad invest in the collection jumping and dressage foals of Grand Prix Sales Online. Buyers from the USA, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Canada, France, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands and Italy made their bids quickly, resulting in good prices for the auction foals and their breeders.
Sannah Angenent: “We succeeded in offering both breeders and buyers an interesting online auction platform. Marjolein Ras and I wanted to auction a small collection of topclass foals. The opportunity to cooperate with partner CSI Twente, the well known prestigious show in The Netherlands, was fantastic. Unfortunately due to Covid-19 we had to decide to auction our topclass foals online. Looking at the auction results we are very happy the way it went and also grateful for the confidence of both breeders and buyers worldwide. In addition, almost all auction foals will go to profession stables and one of them will go to one of the world’s best Grand Prix riders”.

Lens Nekeman : “Yesterday I checked the Grand Prix Sales collection together with my wife Berna and our daughters Denise and Jeanine. We were impressed by the quality of Powerman Texel and how he is moving. We have good experiences with buying top foals at elite auctions. We hope we will be very successful again with this foal.” Powerman Texel was bred by the famous breeder Wim van der Linde from Texel.
