A dozen stallions have been entered for the Holsteiner spring licensing on 29 March in Elmshorn and will be presented to the commission from 12 noon.
After the components of the licensing - the test on the pavement, free jumping and, for the four-year-olds and older, the presentation under the rider - it will be announced which stallions will be allowed to adorn themselves with the Holsteiner seal of quality ‘licensed’.
You can find the catalogue of registered stallions here:
And after the licensing, things will continue in an interesting way in the Fritz-Thiedemann-Halle in Elmshorn: from around 3 p.m., a personalised format for interested parties will take place in the form of a breeders' fair: Stallion owners will set up their stands in the hall and will not only be able to enter into direct dialogue with breeders, but also present their stations and stallions on an entertaining stage. There will also be specialist presentations on how to get your dream foal as well as registration and registration options with the Holsteiner Verband - the all-round package from choosing the right stallion to foal birth and registration. And that's not all: stallion owners' stud fee vouchers will be raffled off and free beer will be served. At 6.30 pm, auctioneer Hendrik Schulze-Rückamp will take to his podium and the bidding duels of the spring auction can begin. Afterwards, the after-auction party will be the place to celebrate! Admission to the entire event is free.
By the way: The final presentation of the auction horses will take place as planned on Friday, 28 March 2025, at 4 pm. This can be viewed live in Elmshorn or streamed on ClipMyHorse.tv. On the morning of 29 March, there will then be a final opportunity to try out the auction horses between 8 am and 12 noon. The entire collection can be found online at www.holsteiner.auction. Felix Flinzer will be happy to answer any questions about the auction and the horses by telephone (+49 162 3493942).
