You could see that with the numbers one and two, which were auctioned again after the break and fetched double the price. The reason for that is a mystery. What is certain is that buyers are willing to pay a lot of money for good foals,\u201d said organizer Coen van Zanten, who noted a clear recovery of the market. The average price of the 49 auctioned fossils came in at 5,890 euros.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The powerful auction topper, moving with great suppleness and balance, has the Westphalian and Oldenburg-approved stallion Vino Tinto as his sire and is out of the elite mare Vito H\u00e9roique (Gribaldi x Havidoff). She is a half-sister to Gracia H\u00e9roique (by Vivaldi), the dam of the stable One to Remember, who was also once auctioned in Dronten. Bidding was fierce both online and in the hall. The online bid was won, and Vainqueur H\u00e9roique was purchased by dressage stable Van Baalen from Brakel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span dir=\"auto\">Most expensive show jumping foal to China.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span dir=\"auto\">A delegation from China was represented by a Dutch intermediary. They bought four foals, including the daughter of Ermitage Kalone: \u200b\u200bValenchide DN. At 12,000 euros, colt Visibilliity (Obsession Taonga x Lennox) certainly held his own as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span dir=\"auto\">The interestingly bred show jumping foals also proved popular, with 9,000 euros for Vida Loca RKJ (On the Spot x Chacco Blue), and 8,000 euros for Vambucci SV (by Sambucci de Muze), Velvet SF (Mr Cornet de Regor), Velentino Rossi T (by Boston VDL), and Valdo (by Chacfly). The latter will be moving to a stable in Germany. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span dir=\"auto\">A smooth-running auction and a great atmosphere remain a thrill.<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span dir=\"auto\">\u201cBefore the break, four foals were bought back, but after the break, everything sold easily. After last year, we wondered if we should continue. Of course, there is a significant cost involved, but everything ran smoothly again with a great atmosphere, and that is a real thrill for us as an organization. All week we hear that with this accommodation and setup, we could make much more of it in a week like this, but we are already running on fumes, and whatever you do, you have to do it right,\u201d says an enthusiastic Van Zanten, who indicates that there will certainly be another Equestrian week Dronten next year.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":622,"template":"","categories":[17],"class_list":["post-15691","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-collectie-en-aanmelding"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/veilingdronten.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/15691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/veilingdronten.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/veilingdronten.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veilingdronten.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/veilingdronten.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veilingdronten.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
