Friday 3 July 2026 during the Longines EEF Series – The Collection Auction makes its much anticipated return as a live event, bringing an exclusive catalogue of 22 exceptional horses to Peelbergen for one special evening.

The Collection Auction was founded through the alliance of Milestone Farm and ST Stables, a partnership rooted in shared standards and a long-term view of the sport. Carlos Pinto, Steve Tinti, Willemijn Poels, and Rikke Barker bring more than four decades of combined experience in show jumping and hunters to the selection process.

Over the years, The Collection Auction has built up an impressive portfolio of references, with former auction horses such as Questa vd Heffinck, BP Arctic Blue, Aconzina PS, Catchy and Placebo now proving themselves in top sport and high-profile rings around the world.

The team played an early role in developing online auctions back in 2020 during the pandemic, creating a transparent, secure way for buyers and sellers to stay active when the sport was largely on hold. From that, The Collection Auction evolved into one of the first platforms to present a carefully curated online catalogue of young Grand Prix prospects to an international audience.

“In today’s market, finding horses that offer the complete package is increasingly rare,” says Carlos Pinto. “With our annual catalogue for The Collection Auction, our goal is to bring together exceptional quality in one place, creating a trusted destination for riders seeking their future Grand Prix partners.”

All year, the team focuses on sourcing and producing young horses they believe in...

“Our hunters are a real highlight this year,” says Willemijn. “For us, they represent the full package, the kind of horse you expect to see in the big rings, winning the classes that people remember and quietly writing hunter history.”

Among this year’s collection, three stand out lots to watch are:

• Paisley Blue PS (Presley Boy x Chacco Blue)
   
• For Sandokan PS (For Laubry x Sandokan)
   
• Chacouret Gold PS (Chacoon Blue x Balou du Rouet)

“This year’s group is, without doubt, one of the strongest we have ever presented,” adds Steve Tinti. “We stand behind every horse in this collection, these are horses we would be proud to have in our own stables, and we believe many of them have the qualities to become future Grand Prix partners.”

It’s set to be an evening that brings together top-class horses, live music, standout entertainment, elevated food and a buzzing atmosphere, creating a setting where people come not only to buy and scout horses, but also to get dressed up to enjoy the evening out with friends and clients.
