The Holstein Autumn Event starts tomorrow, Friday. Everything is prepared at the Verband's facilities in Elmshorn, the elite riding horses are in top shape and the stallions that have registered for the saddle licensing and the short disposition test will be stabled today. The show will start on Friday, 4 November at 11:00 a.m. with the pavement inspection of the saddle licensing stallions, followed by the free jumping and the presentation of the stallions under the rider. Finally, at 5:00 p.m. the auction candidates will be presented to the public and can, of course, be test ridden afterwards. On Saturday, the three-year-old stallions will start the show and present themselves to the public under the rider. At noon, the informative test of the one-year older sires will take place. In addition, the elite riding horses can still be tried out in the morning. Things get really exciting in the afternoon when the licensing decisions are announced and the auction in hybrid format begins at 5 pm. Bidding can be done in the traditional way on site in the Fritz-Thiedemann-Halle, on the phone and online after prior registration at www.holsteiner.auction.
The hybrid auction lives up to its elite title, because from three-year-old youngsters whose pedigrees give hope for a successful future, to athletes with their first competition experience, to the stallions, the horses in the collection leave nothing to be desired. For example, catalogue number 124, La Douce by Million Dollar-Connor, who comes from the direct dam line of Laura Kraut's World Champion Zeremonie. The four-year-old mare has already won jumping competitions up to 1.10 metres and was awarded the State Premium. Or catalogue number 124, Quilino by Quibery-Cayado, whose grandmother and great-grandmother have produced numerous internationally successful show jumpers, such as Glock's Cognac Champlanc (Gerco Schröder/NED), H&M Chilli Willi (Nicola Philippaerts/BEL) or Camiro (Toni Andre Hansen/NOR). The three-year-old Quilino is one of the rough diamonds with great prospects. Also interesting is the catalogue number 109, Casacano E by Cascadello I-Cancara, who has already found a lot of favour with the customers in advance. And also for the friends of the Holstein dressage horse, this elite collection has an offer ready, because the three-year-old Vitalis-De Niro son Valentino, comes up with great possibilities for the dressage arena.
All information about the horses can be found at holsteiner.auction. Felix Flinzer (+49 162 3493942) will be happy to answer all questions regarding the auction and the offers. Appointments for test rides and viewing are still possible until the start of the auction.
