Following a six-hour auction marathon, around €2.5 million found its way into the wallets of Oldenburg breeders, when Oldenburg friends from all around the world secured their Oldenburg star at the 95th Fall Elite Auction at the Oldenburg Horse Centre in Vechta.
The top price at the 95th Fall Elite Auction was achieved by the ultra-modern, three-year-old Superb (Secret x Welt Hit II x Landadel, bred by Lambertus Schnieder from Molbergen and exhibited by Stevens Sportpferde from Molbergen, Lower Saxony). The beautiful black mare was sold for €450,500 to a regular Oldenburg customer and successful first-class breeder in Germany. A future champion mare, Superb is sister to Grand Prix star Famoso OLD by Farewell III x Benjamin Werndl and the licensed Schickerio by Stedinger.
The four-year-old Commisario (Comme il faut x Diamant de Semilly x Nekton), bred by Hans-Jürgen Poehls from Neumünster, Schleswig-Holstein, fetched the second highest price, and was the most expensive jumping horse. Exhibitor b-Horses from Eckernförde, Schleswig-Holstein discovered Commisario as a foal in Vechta, and this ultra-modern jumping star was now knocked down for €105,000 to patron Lutz Gössing, for the international showjumping stable of Tim Rieskamp-Gödeking in North Rhine-Westfalia.

The top price among the elite foals at €62,000 was the charming Sempre libre (So Perfect x Fürst Romancier x L'Espoir, exhibited by Brigitte Griesser from Austria). This movement king was sold to new customers from Great Britain. Sempre libre is out of the first crop of Sezuan son So Perfect.
