Ariantha (Corland x Emilion x Voltaire) was the absolute star of the auction. The breeding product of Mr D. Noordhuis from Wyster was sold for no less than € 280.000 to America. She is going to Jennifer Crooks’s yard. This makes the talented and powerfully-jumping mare the most expensive horse ever to have been sold during Dutch Sport Horse Sales.

The selectors Paul and Emile Hendrix, Neil Jones and Yves Houtackers are exceedingly pleased with this splendid turnover, especially given the international developments in general and certainly in the equestrian sector. All the horses were sold and what is important to Stichting Dutch Sport Horse Sales is that buyers return with pleasure to the next edition of DSHS.

 

The Dutch Sport Horse Sales motto: ‘High quality youngsters selected by horsemen’ certainly proved true in this edition. The extensive knowledge and experience of the selection committee in being able to assess a good young jumping horse contributed to the tremendous success of the seventh edition of Dutch Sport Horse Sales.
