Exciting riding horses in the Verden Auction

The online countdown has started

58 sport horses are ready for clients from all over the world at this year’s Verden Online Auction in April.

On Saturday, April 23, the spotlight will be on the top-class riding horse collection, consisting of 37 dressage horses and 21 show jumping horses. The riding horses can be inspected and test ridden on site from Tuesday, April 12, to Saturday, April 23.

Proven Bloodlines

Decorated with victories and placings in novice class tests for young riding and dressage horses, the five-year-old Moonlight Sonata (Owner: Dr. Erdal Yesilkaya, Odenthal) opens the auction lot in April. The paint-black daughter of Morricone I convinces under saddle with great movement, a lot of talent for collection and an extraordinary work attitude. Her dam, Lourdes IV (by Lauries Crusador xx / Raphael), paired to Benicio produced Bonjour, who is currently successful in the advanced level under Ines Bormann. Dr. Carsten Haack from Freiburg, breeder of Lot 1, also bred Lourdes IV’s full sister Louise to Morricone I in 2018. The result is the talented Moritzburg, who adds Lot 32 to the auction line-up.

Secret’s Sirina (by Secret x Wolkentanz) carries the head number 2 and has already led the winner’s circle in a riding horse test three times. Willow, the dam of this highly talented Secret daughter, is the youngest of four Wolkentanz offspring out of Beluga (by Bergkristall / Askan). Her full brother White-Whings achieved victories and placings up to advanced level under various riders. Her full sister, state premium mare Wega, produced the advanced level successful dressage horses Rosenquarz K (by Blue Hors Romanov) and Baccardi Feeling K (by Belissimo M).

In addition to Secret’s Sirina, her half-brother Showroom (Owners: Marvin & Sylvia Klausing, Diepholz), who is one year younger, also shines in the catalogue with the head number 14. After the successful use of Secret, breeder Miriam Schulz from Stuhr chose his sire Sezuan this time. A breeding decision that once again produced a highly interesting dressage horse with potential for the large arena.

Performance Horses with Top Pedigrees

Young dressage horses, whose bloodlines have already led to success several times, characterize the auction lot. Isterberg II is a licensed stallion, winner of a test for young riding horses and number 6 on the Verden auction stage after passing his sport test. His full brother, Isterberg V, who is in breeding at the Letter Berg Stud, has been victorious several times at medium level in line with his age under his permanent rider, Stephanie Leuenberger.

Number 7 is the highly interesting Sir Donnerhall I son Sean Connery. Four years ago at the Verden Foal Auction, the charming chestnut bred by Torben Schulze, Steinhorst, trotted straight into the heart of Hamburg-based Renate Weber, who recognized his potential and in whose ownership he grew into a magnificent riding horse. During his lifetime, his full brother, the private sire Sean Connery I, who was based at the dressage horse performance center in Lodbergen, successfully matured to Grand Prix level under his Swedish rider Therese Nilshagen.

His full brother Sean Connery II, four years younger, was successful up to advanced level under Sascha Schulz for Luxembourg’s Dressage Grand-Ducal and is now collecting successes on the international stage under the Russian junior rider Iaroslava Inshakova.

According to the motto “Small but impressive!” Quarcelona presents herself as number 12. From the proven breeding house of the Schenk family from Römstedt, this Quantensprung daughter shows herself in clear elite standard. Already her two-year older half-sister Barcelona, by Borsalino, shone under the saddle of Jacob Schenk. Carefully used, the Hanoverian premium prospect stood out as Vice Bundeschampion at the age of three, and as a finalist in Warendorf at the age of four.
