The selection team has had a demanding task and has finally chosen their favorites for the 2024 SWB Elite Foal Auctions. This year marks the seventeenth year of the auctions and nearly 170 foals were presented during the selection round, compared to last year’s 220. In the end, 21 dressage foals and 24 showjumping foals were selected.
Västra Hoby Stuteri AB, who where appointed *Breeder of the Year* by Agria and SWB, has a total of four foals selected on the dressage side. Close behind are Stall MVG/Viby Berga Gård and Eva and Bo Pettersson with the prefix BE, each with two dressage foals selected. Four dressage foals have Be Sure as their sire, who is active via Schockemöhle, and whose offspring have previously been sold for high sums, including Maria Hedvall’s Bijou (SWB) by Be Sure – Totilas, which set a record at the 2022 SWB Elite Foal Auction, selling for €67,000. On the sire side, Västra Hoby Stuteri AB is also represented by last year’s stallion performance test winner Knockando VH (SWB), with three selected foals. The sire Proud James, also active via Schockemöhle, has three selected foals as well.
On the showjumping side, Hagalunds Sporthästar/Therese Jansson and M&M Stable each have two selected showjumping foals. Breeders Eva and Bo Pettersson are also represented on the showjumping side with one selected foal. Four showjumping foals have Asterix de Couleur as their sire, who was previously active via Lövsta Stuteri. Meanwhile, Emerald van’t Ruytershof and Lövsta Stuteri’s El Barone 111 Z each have two foals selected.
The SWB Elite Foal Auctions will be organized as hybrid auctions during the SWB Equestrian Weeks. The dressage foals will go under the hammer on Friday, September 27, and the showjumping foals on Friday, October 4. The foals will be available for bidding both online via ClipMyHorse.TV and at the physical auctions at Flyinge Kungsgård during the SWB Equestrian Weeks. To bid online, register via ClipMyHorse.TV.
