Top priced horse Fiadora sold to France

(Verden Press Release) The Verden Auction Online had a perfect start in January. For €218.000 Fiadora was sold to France. The average price paid at the first auction of the year was €24,762  – around €5,000 more than the previous year at the same location.

From the beginning of the online auction, the Fürsten-Look/Valentino daughter Fiadora (breeder: Dr. Michael Lühs, Wagenfeld, exhibitor: Anke Tonne-Lühs, Wagenfeld) was a top candidate for the top price.  Twenty-one bidders submitted 156 bids, with France competing versus Austria in the end: For €218,000, the Hannoveraner premium candidate, who is equipped with the very best talents, will start her journey to the “Grande Nation”. There, her further training for the big dressage arena with a French Olympic rider will be accompanied by her international trainer.

The high quality of the show jumping horses was also rewarded by the customers. The online auction ended at €65,000  for the licensed stallion Light Up E by Light On/Embassy (breeder and exhibitor: Dirk and Lars Eggers GbR, Hamburg), who will continue his training in a renowned stable in Lower Saxony.

The high-class collection at the Verden auction in January will promote the Hannoveraner Verband worldwide. 30 of the 61 horses will leave Germany. In addition to other European countries, buyers from the USA and Mexico came to the auction.
