The horses of the November Auction attracted the interest of potential customers from beyond German borders: Pepo Puch from Austria, silver medallist in the para dressage test at the World Equestrian Games in France, purchased a futurity prospect. And the Royal Canadian Mounted Police from Ottawa will also travel home with one black Hanoverian mare.
