The Dutch warmblood bred Desendo B (by Don Romantic x Sandro Song) became the price highlight of the 2011 DIS Auction held at the 2011 CDI-W Odense. The livers chestnut stallion sold for the staggering price of 260,000 euro to Pether Markne in Sweden.
The Danish International Sales auction was held for the fourth time in Odense but this year achieved its biggest success ever. Remarkably the top knock down prices were paid for KWPN horses!
The bidding duel for Desendo B was between Per Skjaerbaek of Priess Stuteri and the Swedish Pether Markne, who runs a dressage yard in Sweden with former Danish Olympian Per Sandgaard.
The 3-year old KWPN stallion Diesel (by Vivaldi x Havidoff), who was presented under saddle by Dane Daniel Bachmann, sold for 80,500 euro, while the Dutch bred Damian (by Jazz x Ferro) achieved a knock down price of 67,000 euro.
The most expensive show jumper was the Holsteiner Cherry (by Clearway x King Milford xx) which sold to the Hallundbaek family for 94,000 euro.
The most expensive foal was Luminus Z (by Levisto x Caprilli), which changed owners for 6,715 euro.
