Global Christmas magic
This edition once again highlights Youhorse.auction’s growing reputation as a global hub for trading quality sport and breeding horses. Buyers from Austria, Ireland, Denmark, Japan, Kyrgyzstan, Canada and the USA all went home with their “Christmas gifts.”
“It felt like we were playing Santa Claus ourselves,” laughs Mario Everse. “The fact that buyers purchase horses without seeing them in person speaks volumes about the trust they have in our selection. That trust, combined with the hard work of our auction team, enables us to create new memories with every auction alongside contributors and buyers. The rising quality of the offerings and the increasing trust from everyone involved is a huge motivation for us.”
A flying start to 2025
With this successful Christmas edition, Youhorse.auction is already looking forward to a promising new year. The New Year’s edition on Tuesday, January 7, is set to be a spectacular kick-off to 2025. “The January collection looks amazing,” says Mario Everse.
“Additionally, the full 2025 auction calendar is already online. Anyone looking to sell an exceptional sport horse can now register for the selection and video days on January 6 and 7. Let’s work together to make 2025 just as successful as 2024!”
