Verden Online Auction with live presentation
Verden. In August, we get a little closer again to the world-famous auction feeling at the Hannoveraner Verband. Although the Verden auction for foals and broodmares on August 8th and 9th will again be an online auction, the presentation of the foals on Friday, August 7th, will take place in front of the spectators of the Verden Championships.
Managing Director Wilken Treu is thus responding to the wishes of breeders and customers: "After receiving the feedback that many interested parties missed just such an inspection last time, we can now offer it again. So, register and be there is worth it". Registrations for the live presentation are accepted until July 31st by e-mail to auktion@hannoveraner.com. It's worth being quick, because spots for spectators are limited. Additionally, the presentation will be broadcasted via ClipMyHorse.TV in the livestream.
The auctioneers Bernd Hickert and Frederik De Backer will comment on the foals. Already from August 1st on the approximately 100 top-class foals can be viewed online from anywhere in the world. Nevertheless, interested parties should take the opportunity to view the foals live at the presentation on Friday afternoon, August 7th, shortly before the "bid up" on Saturday and Sunday.
The selection dates were very busy and so the Verden auction team is looking forward to a varied collection. Among the 69 foals with dressage genes, Vitalis has four foals. Eleven more foals carry the genes of the Burg Pokal winner Vivaldi through his sons Valdiviani, Valverde, Viva Gold, Vivino and V-Plus. Fusionist is also causing a sensation with his first foal crop, from which three representatives have found their way into the collection. Several times So Unique foals have already been at the top of past online auctions. In August, two more powerfully moving sons will be presented.
The collection of jumping foals is inter alia influenced by Colman: With four foals, the grey stallion, who is always attracting attention with his numerous offspring, is most frequently represented on the sire side. Altogether, the dam lines of 22 foals include participants of the Herwart-von der Decken-Show, which once again underlines the importance of this event.
On August 8th as well as on August 9th, dressage as well as jumping foals will be knocked down virtually. A special highlight will be added on August 9th: Hann.Pr.A. Quilea by Quantensprung/Lauries Crusador xx (breeder: Hans-Jürgen Lietz, Emmendorf) will be the only broodmare in the collection. She is in foal to the top sire Vitalis and thus brings the best conditions to start successfully in Hanoverian breeding.

Dancing Dalera
It´s just a pleasure to watch Delera and Jessica dancing together. Tiny issues was just two not 100% square halts and a lost change at the beginning of the 9 one times at the centerline, small tensions for the series but at the same time with power and the rest was supple, effortless and powerful, combined with an always super frame.
Well Done de la Roche with most relaxed performance to date
For the Grand Prix Special Kittel for sure can be very satisfied about his effort together with Well Done. The top sensitive mare started the test with a good halt, bit tense diagonal and first extended trot, but from there you just get the feeling that they are just doing their own “trainings session” at home, with lovely supple half passe, smooth piaffe tours with super timing for the transitions, relaxed uphill series and well balanced pirouettes. The walk tour still need more relaxation and let go.
Kontestro Db shows talent and ability all the way
With just 10 year Kontestro Db is the youngest horse in the field. Often when watching the young Grand Prix horses it´s about getting more strength for the demanding exercises, for Kontestro it just look like a matter of “experience and kilometers” as he already got the entire top quality package - trot, canter, walk, piaffe and passage.
Entering the arena Konstetro looked hot, but from the halt where it was clear that his very experienced Finnish rider Henri Ruoste just gave him the time he needed to breath, halt, relax and go. Smooth expressive power trot tour, for the walk tour it looks like he is disturbed by an insect which also affected a bit into the first piaffe. The canter tour is solid and with top timing from Ruoste all the way - it look like you have to be very quiet up there.
Wrong course for Santa Kirchhoff - forgot the canter half passes
The 10 year old L´Arbuste OLD with Senta Kirchhoff showed a strong test with good qualities for the trot tour, passage and transitions, bit hold back walk tour, good piaffe tours, the issues for test came with a tense transition to canter from passage and lacking the final transition to collected trot at M as Senta was struggling to bring L´Arbuste back to trot. The wrong course became of course costly for the very talented combination.
See the entire results here.

Strong young Danish combinations for CDI Hagen
Both Danish juniors and young riders were ready this morning for their first competition after the corona break.
3rd to start by the juniors was 18 year old Danish rider Kristian Würtz Green with his just 8 year old Danish Warmblood gelding Bovbjergs Zhivago by Blue Hors Romanov / Blue Hors Don Schufro. This event is international debut for Zhivago, and he looked very well prepared as Kristian was able to show the long legged gelding in a very nice closed and light frame all the way very attentive and obedient. Super nice flow and balance, only tiny thing is the canter itself which need a bit more collection/strength for some moments, but without any technical issues and keeping the balance nicely for the exercises.
Positive and effortless riding, and of course a very happy rider. “It was our first international competition together, and we’ve used the corona break training and building up the horses, and recently we were out at the national event in Hjallerup preparing for our international debut. Zhivago feels really relaxed and happy here and coped very well with the long trip. It is really great to be back at the competitions, and even more exciting bringing my young horse and then being able to win was kind of a dream debut,” tells Kristian.
