The delightful and experienced six year old Watson was a horse much appealing to my taste because of his rideability and superb movements. This Westfalian gelding is ready to go Prix St Georges and makes an excellent horse for a Young Rider
who want to be launched into the Champion's orbit.
Because of these qualities, Watson attracted much interest from young riders and was eventually sold to England for 222,000 €.
Elke Kampmann Finds Consolation in Lots of Fun
One of the dozens bidders on Poetin was Elke Kampmann from Lingen, Germany. Kampmann had her eye on the mare, but wouldn't spend the outrageous amount of 2.5 million, so she found consolation in a purchase of the refined Hanoverian gelding Lots of Fun. Sired by Longchamp out of a Condor M dam, Lots of Fun has three superb gaits and especially a breath-taking canter. Lots of Fun sold for 173,000 €
