Record for the PSI auction: the Top Price sold for 4 million euros!

On the evening of Saturday, December 10, 2022 was held the 43rd PSI auction, co-organised by Paul Schochemöhle and Ullrich Kasselmann. A total of 50 horses were offered for sale: 25 dressage and 25 show jumping  horses. It's been a great success as the total turnover of the evening amounted to €22,929,000, of which €9,337,000 for dressage horses and €13,655,000 for show jumping horses.

Chyazint, a 6 year old show jumping mare sold for 4 million euros.

As you probably know... FoalR is getting ready to welcoming show jumping and Eventing stallions in 2023! So we had to start talking to you about these disciplines on the blog too... And what better way to start than with the record (!) PSI auction?

Chyazint, the Top Price, is a daughter of Casallco with a dam by Heartbreaker. This respectful and demonstrative mare is 6 years old and has been competing at 1.35m this year under Swedish rider Ebba Johansson before being offered for sale. Frank Auer, a German businessman who made his fortune in the energy sector, spent no less than 4 million euros on the youngster.

Fürstin Aura, Top Price in Dressage

The dressage discipline was also very successful at the PSI auction. The four-year-old Fürstin Aura, who was sold for €1,050,000, is a daughter of Fürst Jazz with a dam by Don Schufro. Sold to Swiss based in Belgium, no doubt we will see her in competition again very soon! These same buyers also bought Front Girl (by Foundation x Fursten-Look) who sold for €850,000 and Top Boy (by Top Gear x Foundation) for €700,000.

There is no doubt that the organisers of this highly reputed auction were more than satisfied with their results!
