Xtreme Sport Horses, Leading the way!
The Xtreme Sport Horses 2020 auction was not only extremely successful, but has shaped the way sport horses continue to be sold in New Zealand.
Originally planned to be an 'in-person' open day, following on to a live auction, our plans were unfortunately flipped upside-down when Covid 19 put us into our first locked down a few days out from the big day. Determined to go ahead despite the challenges, we turned to hosting an online auction spread over 3 days.
Uncertain of the response we would get with this being a 'first' for Sport Horse sales in New Zealand, we impressively sold all 32 catalogued horses during the auction, with all selling well-above reserves.
Following our auctions success, others in the industry followed suit, hosting their own auctions and the creation of a purpose auction hosting platform was established.
Taking the daunting leap into this avenue was something we always wanted to do, and are proud to have changed the way Sport Horses are sold in our industry.
CATALOGUE
All 32 horses sold above their reserve price
Our selection of horses offered up for sale through the auction all sold. We were lucky that our exemption to work during lockdown allowed all 32 horses to get transported to their new homes throughout the country.
We have loved watching the joinery each horse has had in their new home since being sold!
A ground breaking event that transformed our industry, that we are so privileged to have been able to kick-start.
AUCTION RESULTS
Exceeding expectations
Our client's feedback after the auction was incredible!
The general response was that all the horses exceeded their expectations when they arrived, being first class types.
They were blown away with the quality and thrilled to have been lucky enough to have won the opportunity to produce their future champions.
