Ullrich Kasselmann and Paul Schockemohle, the brains behind P.S.I., are gearing up for another spectacular PSI auction on 13 and 14 December 2008.
This year's collection of horses is as impressive as ever and includes numerous Bundeschampionate finalists and champions. Buyers, who were outbid in 2007, can looking forward to the 29th Performance Sales International Auction in which only horses that belong to and have been trained under the supervision of the PSI team are included. Horses are usually auctioned for prices between 40,000 and 800,000 euro so each ambitious dressage rider can find his choice in the collection.
Each year, the PSI auction collection includes seasoned young competition horses who have made it to the Bundeschampionate, the most important young horse show in Germany of the season. This year, four dressage horses of the 2008 auction collection made it to the 2008 Bundeschampionate Finals.
The dark bay Rhinelander Laetare (by Lord Sinclair x Lancer II x Phantom) became 4-year old riding horse Bundeschampion under Eva Möller, while Wyllow R (by Wolkentanz II x Don Primero x Frühlingsball) won the bronze medal in the 5-year old dressage horse division and is a horse beaming with FEI potential. The 5-year old Hanoverian mare Donna Weltina (by Don Frederico x Weltruhm x Ecuador xx) was a finalist at the 2008 World Championships for Young Dressage Horses. She also won the Bremen Bundeschampionate qualifier and finished 12th in the Bundeschampionate finals. The delightful 4-year old Westfalian Blickpunkt (by Belissimo x Weltmeyer x Argentinus) made an impression in the 4-year old riding horse class.
The Bundeschampionate are the touchstone for quality dressage horses. At the 2008 Bundeschampionate, five former PSI horses came into action. Reggae Ann (by Rotspon x Matcho AA), Ronja M (by Relevant x Weltmeyer), Weitsicht (by Welt Hit O x Andrew), Rossano R (by Rohdiamant x Weltmeyer) and King Size (by King Arthur x Don Schufro) were all sold through PSI and have proved their new owners with competition joy and success.
“We know our horses blindfolded and can give information on the various development stages for most of the horses. We stand behind every one of our “pupils” with our name and are confident that we will see them often in future international sport,” said Dr. Ulf Moeller, responsible for the buying and sales at Hof Kasselmann.
