For the fifth and last time this year, riding horses could be bought online at the Verden Auction, which concluded on 20 November 2021. Frido (by Finest x Spörcken) was the price highlight with a knock down price of 56,000 euro.
Of the 41 horses offered, all were sold. 24 will stay in Germany, 17 will travel abroad to eight different countries. Bidders from Spain and France acquired the most horses with four purchases each.
Returning customers from Spain secured the top price of the auction: a bay gelding named Frido (by Finest x Spörken), bred by Julia and Dr. Arndt-Friedrich Echte and owned by Monika Decke. During the one-week bidding period on the internet as well during the twelve-day training in Verden, the interest in the gelding became apparent.
