There was a wonderful atmosphere in the impressive arena at Vilhelmsborg during the Elite Foal Auction presented by Dansk Hesteforsikring, where auctioneer Flemming Schultz wielding the hammer over 31 foals. He was well supported in the description of the foals by Ulrik Falbe-Hansen from the Auction Committee.

In a friendly and cozy atmosphere bidding not only came from the VIP guests but also from the audience as well as phone calls from home and abroad.

The first foal to trot into the hall was 421 Borbjerg's Black Rose by So Perfect/Don Deluxe - and the foal was sold for 20,000 euros to Sweden, and then the auction was well underway.

Ulrik Kristensen, who is the Board's representative on the Auction Committee, expressed great satisfaction with the result of the auction and especially the excellent sales percentage of 77 and an average price of 12,281 euros.

- It was extremely satisfying, and a tribute to the breeders of the quality foals we could present at the auction, and to the buyers who supported the auction and the breeders. They got a lot of quality for their money, said Ulrik Kristensen.

The expensive boys

The most expensive dressage foal was not unexpectedly this year's best dressage colt Terpling's Dream-Star by Dream Royal/Falstaff. The highly expressive colt from Heima Poulsen charmed the buyers in the arena as he trotted around with energy, even after a long day of finals, rounds of honor and auction presentation.

- I'm absolutely in love with him, he's just so handsome! said the happy buyers Liv Marie and Anders Stignæs getting the charming foal for 30,000 euros.

It was experienced auction buyers from Frandsbjerg Horses, the sisters Kamilla and Katrine Ladefoged Rasmussen, who obtained the prize highlight among the jumping foal. A foal that largely lives up to its name "Eyecatch". The fact that he is also after international top blood, Emerald van 'T'Ruytershof/Casall certainly did not diminish the interest in him. Kamilla and Katrine secured him for 21,000 Euros.
