WDM GUIDE<br />

<strong>Dressage</strong> <strong>Masters</strong> otherwise there is no point in organising an auction<br />

here. The strength of our auction is the transparency between vendor<br />

and purchaser. All horses are radiologically approved and have the<br />

potential to reach the top.”<br />

The idea behind the auction is to organise an evening where people<br />

have the opportunity to buy or sell quality dressage horses in a beautiful<br />

setting and where nobody lacks anything. In order to guarantee quality,<br />

many experts contribute to the auction. Examples include auctioneer<br />

Dirk Zagens, and Grand Prix rider Laurens van Lieren who provides the<br />

commentary for the evening. As well as promising young horses, such as<br />

offspring from the stallions Charmeur and Lord Leatherdale for example,<br />

“They have the potential<br />

to reach the top!”<br />

the collection of the 2015 première included an 11-year-old black Grand<br />

Prix stallion. The talented Edison, a son of Glock’s Johnson TN who is<br />

performing superbly under Hans Peter Minderhoud, changed owner for<br />

the tidy sum of €82.000,-. The average sales price per horse/pony was<br />

€42.781,25,-. Cors: “There is always room for improvement but we are<br />

very satisfied with the quality of the auction. We can speak of a very<br />

successful first edition and are already looking forward to the next one.”<br />

That the <strong>World</strong> <strong>Dressage</strong> <strong>Masters</strong> is an ideal platform for Auction4Good<br />

is reflected in the sale of the 4-year-old pony stallion Amalia’s Claus. This<br />

beautiful pony was sold to an ambitious Swedish pony rider. She was<br />

there with her parents because she was competing in the international<br />

pony classes of the <strong>World</strong> <strong>Dressage</strong> <strong>Masters</strong> in Roosendaal. A perfect<br />

combination of the right location and the right horses in the right<br />

atmosphere.<br />
