At over €1.3 million, customers from all around the world secured their future Oldenburg star in Vechta shortly before Christmas, demonstrating that the Oldenburg breeding philosophy shines, and the celebrated 2017 champion stallion Benefit presented the two price toppers.

For €190,500, a young customer from Germany bought herself a Christmas present at the online auction in Vechta. The magnificent three-year-old Big Bang OLD by Benefit x Fidertanz x Rubinstein I, bred by the renowned Woldsee Stud in Bad Zwischenahn, Lower Saxony, comes from the world-famous Kateste dam line, as do numerous Grand Prix horses and the Olympian Volturno.

Her dam, the Brillantring mare Mon Amour, was also discovered here in Vechta and is sister to the Intermediaire I winning Mondlicht by Sarkozy x Aline Bregenzer.
