Oldenburg friends from all over the world secured their future stars during the 19th Elite Foal Auction with first-class pedigrees. In the dressage foal collection, the legendary Donnerhall line impressed with a strong moving Damon Hill son. The jumping foals shone with offspring by Cornet Obolensky, who set the top prices with his son and granddaughter.

The price peak at €41,000 was Don Royal (Damon Hill x Rubin-Royal x Figaro), bred and exhibited by Vivien Rudolph from Kirchgellersen/Lower Saxony. The strong moving stallion prospect will stay with a dressage lover in Germany in the future.
The second price peak at €27,000 was Zypriana (Zackerey x Florencio I x Lord Liberty G), bred and exhibited by Frank Grote from Neuenkirchen/Lower Saxony.

This elegant movement artist will stay with a good Oldenburg friend in Germany.
