High Level at Verden Auction
Let's Go HRH sold at Euro 130,000

The three-year-old show jumping prospect Let’s Go HRH by Lissabon/Drosselklang II (breeder and exhibitor: Heiner and Renate Horman, Landesbergen) was the top-priced horse of the November Auction and sold at Euro 130,000. 91 Hanoverian riding horses were sold at an average of Euro 15,430. This is the best average price at a November auction since this auction type was launched in 1994. The auction management was very satisfied. “We achieved a well-balanced pricing structure. 53 horses were sold at customer-friendly prices between Euro 8,000 and 15,000,” Auction Manager Dr. Guenther Friemel said.

The Bengtsson Show Stable from Sweden purchased Let’s Go HRH, but for the time being, he will stay in Verden and will be ridden by auction rider Thomas Schoenig. Most expensive dressage horse was the Sandro Hit/Florestan-son Sarastro (breeder: Joerg and Sabine Gutjahr, Steinheim - exhibitor: Elke Kuchern, Melle), sold at Euro 53,000 to a training stable in Lower Saxony. It was also the 1000th auction horse of the year 2009.

There was considerable interest in the auction collection from customers from the United States. They purchased eight horses, six will move to Great Britain and four to France. 34 Hanoverian horses were sold abroad, and as such the export rate reached 37%.

The result of the November Auction confirmed the sound development of the Hanoverian auctions and the fact that quality and prices settled down at a fantastic level. The different kinds of auctions address different requirements and thus meet all customers’ demands. “It is especially pleasing that many riders bought horses for their own use,” Dr. Guenther Friemel said.
