The foal auction is scheduled for 8 June, day two of the Holsteiner Horse Days. 22 selected colt and filly foals are expected to enter the auction ring. Prospective buyers may not only expect offspring by proven sport stallions, but also foals by young sires have proved convincing to the selection panel (Sigrun Günther, Ove Asmussen, and Hans-Joachim Ahsbahs). Verband stallion Casall has the most foals consigned to this auction. The Caretino son demonstrating exceptional form under Rolf-Göran Bengtsson on the international jumping scene yet again, is being represented by four fillies and one colt foal. For prospective buyers this could be a great chance for participation in the stallion grading or elite mare show two or rather three years on, as Casall has definitely demonstrated his ability to produce stallion grading, mare show, and of course show jumping champions. Other highly successful current or former sport stallions are Carembar de Muze (London), Clarimo, Comme il faut, Cornet Obolensky – just recently on everybody’s lips at the World Cup final -, Kannan or Quintero. 6-year-old Crumble, a serial winner of young jumper classes, is represented by one foal. Cascadello I, now with his first S level placing under his belt, has already produced a brilliant champion, as well. Represented by one foal at the auction, the 7-year-old’s produce includes Charleston, in 2015 the best stallion at Neumünster. “The young stallions guarantee the breeding progress“, said Norbert Boley, managing director of the Holsteiner Verband stallion keeping limited company, Elmshorn. Offering foals by Adagio de Talma, the sire of the top-selling foal at last year’s Behrendorf foal auction, Barcley, Casaltino, Dinken or Quiran, the Elmshorn foal auction is focusing on sires the Holsteiner breed is putting high hopes in.
