The Neumünster Holstenhalls are all ready and set up for the 51th Holsteiner stallion grading and elite riding horse auction held on 28-30 October where the selected stallion candidates born in 2019 face the judgement of the grading committee and promising up-and-coming talents will change hands through the elite auction. 

About 40 elite riding horses catering to any demand are to travel to Neumünster: from uncut diamond to horses already successfully shown in jumping competitions, prime eventing prospects or budding dressage horses with outstanding movement you can find horses suited for any ambition there. Like for example lot no 103, Call me London by Carembar de Muze-Cassini I. Not only the results of other horses from her direct dam line favour this appealing four-year-old grey mare, but she also boast results to age-appropriate 1.10m level herself.

Another ready-to-go offer is lot no 115: the five-year-old chestnut mare called Ida von der Söhr has already won young horse jumping classes. She is by world champion Vigo d’Arsouilles, the sire of last year’s Holsteiner champion stallion, Vigado, and her dam used to be a successful show jumper to 1.50m level herself, as well. Lot no 139, Udomar, a gelding born in 2018 by Uriko-Cassini II, is also out of a high-achieving dam. Highly successfully shown to 1.40m classes herself, her produce includes the 1.60m level jumper Cateleya by Cachas (Olivier Philippaerts/BEL).

The auction horses are stabled at the Holsteiner Verband Elmshorn facility where they can be viewed and tried out upon prior arrangement until and including Monday, 25 October. During the Neumünster event they are publicly presented live on Friday evening, 29 October from 6.00pm, whereas the auction starts on 30 October at 11.00am.  

In accordance with the currently valid Schleswig-Holstein state regulation, this year we are permitted to welcome numerous visitors at the Neumünster Holstenhalls again, albeit in compliance with the so-called 3-g-rule, which means all visitors must be vaccinated, tested, or recovered. Tickets can already be booked. Anybody wanting to join should hurry up and secure tickets either through the Holstenhalls ([email protected]) or on the www.holsteiner-verband.de website. Ticket prices start at 15 euros/day.
