The countdown has started and 58 sport horses are ready for clients from all over the word at this year’s Verden Online Auction in April.
On Saturday, April 23, the spotlight will be on the top-class riding horse collection, consisting of 37 dressage horses and 21 show jumping horses. The riding horses can be inspected and test ridden on site from Tuesday, April 12, to Saturday, April 23.
Proven Bloodlines
Decorated with victories and placings in novice class tests for young riding and dressage horses, the five-year-old Moonlight Sonata (Owner: Dr. Erdal Yesilkaya, Odenthal) opens the auction lot in April. The paint-black daughter of Morricone I convinces under saddle with great movement volume, a lot of talent for collection and an extraordinary work attitude. Her dam, Lourdes IV (by Lauries Crusador xx x Raphael), is paired to Benicio and produced Bonjour, who is currently successful in the advanced level under Ines Bormann. Dr. Carsten Haack from Freiburg, breeder of number 1, also bred Lourdes IV's full sister Louise to Morricone I in 2018. The result is the talented Moritzburg, who adds head number 32 to the auction line-up.
In addition to Secret's Sirina, her half-brother Showroom (Owners: Marvin & Sylvia Klausing, Diepholz), who is one year younger, also shines in the catalogue with the head number 14. After the successful use of Secret, breeder Miriam Schulz from Stuhr chose his sire Sezuan this time. A breeding decision that once again produced a highly interesting dressage horse with potential for the large arena.
Performance Horses with Top Pedigrees
Number 7 is the highly interesting Sir Donnerhall I son Sean Connery. Four years ago at the Verden Foal Auction, the charming chestnut bred by Torben Schulze, Steinhorst, trotted straight into the heart of Hamburg-based Renate Weber, who recognized his potential and in whose ownership he grew into a magnificent riding horse. During his lifetime, his full brother, the private sire Sean Connery I who was based at the dressage horse performance center in Lodbergen successfully matured to Grand Prix level under his Swedish rider Therese Nilshagen.
According to the motto "Small but impressive!" Quarcelona presents herself with the number 12. From the proven breeding house of the Schenk family from Römstedt, this Quantensprung daughter shows herself in clear elite standard. Already her two-year older half-sister Barcelona by Borsalino shone under the saddle of Jacob Schenk. Carefully used, the Hanoverian premium prospect stood out as Vice Bundeschampion at the age of three and as a finalist in Warendorf at the age of four.

Title hero Quizmaster
As one of the top priced horses at the Elite Auction in October 2015, he moved to the stable of Sascha Schulz. Under Luxembourg's flag, he rode Quizmaster to bronze in Warendorf and a year later competed in the five-year-old final at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses in Ermelo/NED. After that, the journey continued to Hof Kasselmann, where the gelding made the jump into the big arena together with his rider Frederic Wandres. In March last year, the pair won the Nations Cup in Wellington/USA as part of the German team. Two months later, they secured one of the coveted final tickets to the Nuremberg Burg-Pokal in Redefin. There the pair won both the qualification and the final. With a score of 77.244 percent, the pair were clearly ahead. Then came the Burg-Pokal Final.
