The Limburg Foal Auction experienced again an enormous amount of international interest for the foals in Weert. For 30.000 euro the brilliantly bred Kiara (Kannan x Heartbreaker) leaves to Turkey. A Swiss buyer paid no less than 26.000 euro for the colt Kasper (Numer Uno x Berlin) out of the damline of the KWPN-approved stallion Cidane, the Grand Prix show jumper Audi’s Reflection (Vincent Voorn) and the double world champion of Lanaken Barnike (Bertram Allen). The impressing colt Krack Especiale (F-One USA x Indoctro) leaves to England for 25.000 euro. Krack Especiale is a grandson of the world-famous Grand Prix mare Vink’s Especiale (Eric van der Vleuten).

“We are very proud of this fantastic edition of the Limburg Foal Auction”, organizer Luc van Moorsel of Equine MERC states afterwards. “Every year we experience a lot of international interest, but this year it was more than ever. A great deal of new customers from all over the world bought foals at our auction.” Customers from Turkey, Sweden, England, Germany, the United States and Switzerland took their chance to buy a top foal at the Limburg Foal Auction.

For 17.000 euro the colt Kyoto van de Nethe (Fürstenball x Weltmeyer) became the most expensive dressage foal and stays in the Netherlands. The dressage foals got sold for an average price of 5.665 euro, while the show jumping foals went for over 10.000 euro on average. “This year we have experienced some differences between our dressage and jumping foals, but above all our jumping collection was exceptional!”, Luc van Moorsel states.

With a top-seller of 38.000 euro and an average price of more than 8.400 euro the Limburg Foal Auction edition 2015 became a great success!
