Preparations for the our Sport Horse Sales are in full swing

Posted at

Excitement is building as the setup for our eagerly anticipated show jumping horse auction is well underway. Since Tuesday, preparations have been in progress to transform our riding arena into a first-class venue for the 19th edition of this prestigious event.

Now, the theoretical part—the months of meticulous planning—is finally being put into practice. A section of the heavy-duty flooring has already been laid, a platform has been constructed, and the hall's ceiling is adorned with trusses that will ensure optimal lighting and ambiance. Meanwhile, kilometers of electrical cables are being carefully installed to guarantee flawless technical operations. Our hardworking team is pitching in at every corner, and the atmosphere is filled with immense motivation and enthusiasm.

For a glimpse into what is currently happening at our facility and how this ambitious project is being realized by a small yet extraordinary team, here are a few key details about the setup:

  • 7 generators ensure there is plenty of power for the auction evening.
  • 8 days before the Sport Horse Sales the indoor arena build up begins.
  • 9 hours is how long it takes to install the crossbeams for the spotlights and loudspeakers under the roof.
