FROM THE BALIA LINE TO A HEARTBREAKER DAUGHTER IN THE SUCCESSFUL AUCTION
May 25, 2025
With a remarkably strong result and bids from all over the world, we have once again proven that quality sells. Our online auction, entirely dedicated to showjumping-bred young horses, experienced sport horses and genetically interesting embryos, attracted fierce competition among international buyers.
Almost five years after the first edition, the platform’s legitimacy is more than confirmed: with an average price of €13,500 – in a market that is far from self-evident – this edition shows that buyers worldwide continue to invest in reliable quality.
“This auction once again confirms it: quality speaks. We are proud that so many buyers around the world have placed their trust in us – and found the right horses,” say Alwin and Niels of Paardenveilingonline. “Since 2020, we have been building, together with a fantastic team and dedicated partners, a platform where realistic prices, transparency and quality come together. The fact that this has stood strong for five years now makes us grateful – and ambitious for the future.”
From Balia lines to Cornet blood: these horses convinced internationally
The highest price was paid for the three-year-old Shanna Balia van Koldaard (Chatinue x Numero Uno). This mare from the renowned Balia line – full of 1.45m and 1.50m showjumpers – was ultimately sold for €36,000 to a buyer from Norway after a fierce bidding battle between Norway and Poland.
Also three years old is Secret Power SIH (Heartbreaker x Diamant de Semilly). With her strong dam line and direct descent from Heartbreaker, she clearly stood out. The bidding war for her was between Poland and Canada; a Polish bidder became the new owner of this promising young mare for €27,000.
The five-year-old Phynaedra E.C. (Cornet Obolensky x F-One USA), who passed her EPTM test with 78 points last year, seemed destined for Australia, but in the end, a French buyer placed the winning bid. The hammer fell on Saturday evening at €18,500.
Top genetics in exceptional embryos
There was also strong international interest in the embryo collection. The implanted embryo by Grandorado TN N.O.P. x Comme Il Faut attracted serious attention. From the proven dam line of Cute Girl Z, this genetically valuable embryo will travel to the United States for €17,500.
A frozen embryo by Grand Prix stallion Comme Il Faut, out of the direct dam line of Oak Grove’s Americana (Aganix du Seigneur x Heartbreaker), was sold to a buyer in Germany for €5,500.
Exclusive opportunity outside the auction: embryo Allroad 2000 Z x Chin Chin for sale
For those who just missed out during the auction, there is good news: one special opportunity remains – an implanted embryo (Allroad 2000 Z x Chin Chin) with performance genes in every fiber, available at a fixed price of €6,500.
Sire Allroad 2000 Z is a young talent from the line of Aga Khan and Aganix du Seigneur, known for his power, technique and presence. Dam’s sire Chin Chin needs no introduction: an Olympic stallion and proven sire of sport horses.
