19th auction event in Goch attracts guests from around the globe

It’s almost time for Holger Hetzel’s 19th International Sport Horse Sales at his equestrian centre in Goch on 27 November. And that means it’s the last chance to try out the horses in this year’s collection. The final official presentation of the 22 top show jumpers up for sale at this year’s auction takes place on Sunday 24 November. From 10 a.m. onwards, guests will have the opportunity to see the entire collection presented one last time by Holger Hetzel and his team, arrange to try them out afterwards and enjoy a delicious brunch.

Just last weekend there were some great results from horses sold at Holger Hetzel’s previous Sport Horse Sales. One of the candidates in last year’s collection, Iron Dames Michael Jackson, did exceptionally well in the Youngster Tour at the international competition in Lier/ Belgium with rider Sophie Hinners. After high placings in two qualifier classes they ultimately took fourth place in the final. Another former auction horse, Dante MM, and his rider Swiss national vice-champion Alain Jufer, were highly placed in the World Cup class at Stuttgart’s Hans-Martin-Schleyer-Halle arena. These are just two of many horses sold at Holger Hetzel’s Sport Horse Sales in previous years with remarkable competition results.

On 27 November, the day of the auction, the official evening programme starts at 6 p.m. Numerous guests from all over the world, including leaders in business, politics, sport and show business, can look forward to an entertaining programme with plenty of surprises. The highlight of the evening begins at 9 p.m., when the curtains open and the first horse is led into the auction ring. This year’s auction has a hybrid format to allow in-person bids from the guests in Goch as well as online bids from customers from all over the world.
