Preview of the 101st Elite Auction of Hanoverian Sport Horses, Ponies and Foals
Following his excellent career with Lars Nieberg, Hanoverian stallion For Pleasureby Furioso II - Goya (breeder: Robert Diestel, Adelheidsdorf), born 1986, did successfully confirm his outstanding quality with Markus Ehning. He was nation's cup winner and winner of Grand Prix Tournaments this year as well as European Team Champion. He completed Hickstead single competitions as the best one of the German team with an excellent fifth place. Masterpieces of breeding are also relating to a masterpiece of painting by Rosa Bonheur from 1853. The picture is showing a horse market in the middle of last century where there is much more hurly-burly than on the last Verden Elite auction in this 20th century. On the occasion of this event, continuity and the excellent reputation of the trade mark VA (= Verden Auction horse) is revealed once again.
Date: 8th - 9th October 1999
