The Showjumping Fund of the Netherlands does not accept the 850 000 Euro-bid for SFN Zenith N.O.P. as it is viewed not to be according to the gelding’s value.
A press release from SFN-board member Jacob Melissen posted on his Facebook page, reads that the auction did not go as hoped for in regards to the double World and European Champion and he remains unsold for now to instead focus on a private sale.
Four horses were sold through the auction: Aquila SFN is sold to a French top rider, Ferrari SFN is sold to a well-known Belgian stable and Djumpsina SFN will move to Jos Lansink. Eloma's Blue SFN was bought by the Showjumping Fund of the Netherlands II, and will also in the future be seen under Wout-Jan van der Schans. Chuck Blue SFN didn't get any bids, and remains unsold.
