Top Eventers Auction 2009

At the Top Eventers Auction in Luhmühlen, Germany, which was initiated by Elmar Lesch, an international event rider for Germany, two Trakehners and one half Trakehner were sold in 2009. The auction caters to the high end eventing market and has produced remarkable results since its initiation a few years ago. Both purebred Trakehners in 2009 come from Gestüt Heidekaten in East Germany, a farm that has consistently produced very talented young eventers that usually sell after the Bundeschampionat. The farm's breeding program revolves around a number of performance tested mares, e.g. their foundation mare E.St. Radschendra, an international eventer herself, and the high dosage use of quality TB and Arabian blood.
