The selection team had a demanding task and has finally chosen their favorites for the 2024 SWB Elite Foal Auctions – now in its 17th year. Nearly 170 foals were presented compared to last year’s 220 and, in the end, 21 dressage foals and 24 showjumping foals were selected.
This year’s breeder, Västra Hoby Stuteri AB, has a total of four foals selected on the dressage side. Close behind are Stall MVG/Viby Berga Gård and Eva and Bo Pettersson with the prefix BE, with two dressage foals apiece. Four dressage foals have Be Sure as their sire, who is active at Gestüt Lewitz/Paul Schockemöhle, and whose offspring have previously been sold for high sums, including Maria Hedvall’s SWB Bijou (Be Sure x Totilas), which set a record at the 2022 SWB Elite Foal Auction, selling for €67,000. On the sire’s side, Västra Hoby Stuteri AB is also represented by last year’s stallion performance test winner Knockando VH, with three selected foals. The sire Proud James, also active with Schockemöhle, has three selected foals as well.
On the showjumping side, Hagalunds Sporthästar/ Therese Jansson and M&M Stable each have two selected showjumping foals. Breeders Eva and Bo Pettersson are also represented in showjumping with one selected foal. Four showjumping foals have Asterix de Couleur as their sire, who was previously active at Lövsta Stuteri. Meanwhile, Emerald van’t Ruytershof and Lövsta Stuteri’s El Barone 111 Z each have two foals selected.
The Elite Foal Auctions will be organized in a hybrid format during the SWB Equestrian Weeks. The dressage foals will go under the hammer on Friday, September 27, and the showjumping foals on Friday, October 4. The foals will be available for bidding both online via ClipMyHorse.TV and at the physical auctions at Flyinge Kungsgård during the SWB Equestrian Weeks. To bid online, register via ClipMyHorse.TV. Tickets for the SWB Equestrian Weeks and the SWB Elite Foal Auction can be purchased via Ticket.Co.events.
