Oldenburg Auction

The Oldenburg auction of October 4-5 went well, with prices on the rise again after several years of downturn.
Without doing the math, I'm sure the best average for a stallion with more than one horse in the sale was that of Sir Donnerhall I. After a stellar summer season with several of his offspring doing exceptionally on the international scene, demand for his offspring was high. They are consistently beautiful, tactful movers. His son, Sohn der Sonne, 2010 Swedish champion, went for 150,000 euros. Bronze Brillantring mare, Emperadora, went for 70,000 euros and son, Samstag sold for 90,000 euros. St. Ferryman, a gelding son, brought 50,000 euros.
There were two Sir Donnerhall II offspring presented, which sold for 46 and 20 thousand euros and were impressive in their type and movement.
The San Amour offspring were impressive as well, very beautiful and sold fairly well.
The Bordeaux mare, Biscaya, champion in Rastede, topped the sale at 300,000 euros ($408,000).
The foals by For Romance were very well received and brought the best prices overall, but the high seller was by the East Prussian Trakehner, All Inclusive, out of a Sandro Hit mare.
