Dressage will be part of the Science Supplements Bolesworth Elite Auctions for the very first time this year.
Dressage Horse Auction at 2022 CDI Bolesworth
Bolesworth will be holding an inaugural elite dressage auction at the Bloomfields Horseboxes CDI 3* International Dressage. Friday 24 June will mark the start of the inaugural independent dressage event at Bolesworth Castle, with the elite dressage auction being held the following evening, 25 June.
The auction aims to showcase a small, handpicked number of premium-bred dressage horses ranging from 2-year olds through to 5 year olds.
The horses have been selected by an expert, experienced selection committee, headed up by Christian Heinrich. Much of Christian’s career has been spent sourcing horses for the International market, with huge success stories, having discovered Annastasia, with whom Michael Assouline won the French national Championship, former British team horse Legrini and Isobel Wessel’s intermediaire 1 kur champion Leopardo.
Source U.K. Based Horses, Avoid Import Costs
into the U.K.
The confirmed lots are to be announced in the coming weeks, that said, we can confirm that breeding will include many of the top modern bloodlines, with some very well connected horses in the line-up.
The Elite Dressage Auction is designed to provide a platform for the UK dressage market, to source top quality young horses with modern bloodlines, without the complication of importing them from mainland Europe.
This year Caunton Manor Stud are supporting Bolesworth to ensure the first dressage auction provides buyers and sellers with the best possible auction experience. Martin Schleicher, another member of the selection panel said, “At Caunton Manor Stud we are always looking to support correct production of young horses in all disciplines. With the rise of import costs for the British market looking to source horses from Europe, an auction such as the Bolesworth Elite Dressage Auction, cuts the complication and cost of importing. We are delighted to be supporting Bolesworth with the dressage auction by helping to carefully select horses to put forward to this collection.”
