€32,000 for E-Funky Eyckeveld Z during the first Zangersheide Online Foal Auction

After the successful Online Young Horse Auction in April, Zangersheide.Auction prepared itself yesterday evening for the denouement of the first online foal auction of the season. A strong collection consisting of 18 top foals from the best dam lines were offered for sale and found their way to new owners all over the world.

The auction topper of the evening was the black colt E-Funky Eyckeveld Z, a son of Emerald van 't Ruytershof and For Pleasure who was bred by David Pues and who comes out of the full sister of Marcus Ehning's GP horse Funky Fred. E-Funky Eyckeveld Z could count on a lot of interest due to his beautiful looks and was eventually sold for an amount of 32,000 euros to the parents of the Italian lady rider Francesca Ripamonti.

Another striking name during this first Online Foal Auction of the season was that of the filly Uzuri 1991 Z, a daughter of Utamaro d'Ecaussines Z and Vigo d'Arsouilles who was bred by Sebastien Neyt and who is a great-granddaughter of the GP mare Banda de Hus (Argentinus). She also made many hearts beat faster with her interesting pedigree and at the end of the auction it was the Iraqi investor Abuzayed who was the new owner for an amount of 23,000 euros.

Furthermore, the appaloosa colt Jaguar Star by Classic Z from breeder Toni Cassandra was also popular with many people. Jaguar Star by Classic Z combines the blood of J-Nius V.V. Z with that of Comilfo Plus Z and was sold to Turkey for an amount of 17,500 euros.

Zangersheide.auction would like to thank all buyers for their trust and wish them every success with their future toppers! We are now preparing for our next Online Auction, which runs from Saturday, August 5th to Tuesday, August 8th, and for the second edition of the Stud 2000 Online Auction, which runs from Saturday, August 19th to Tuesday, August 22nd.
