The Sportpferde Scholz stable has matched dressage riders with their ideal sport partners for more than 20 years. Auction No. 1, by Sportpferde Scholz manager Fabian Scholz, constitutes the premier of a collection fulfilling all anticipations. It is extraordinary for an auction to contain unbroken 3-year-olds on the one hand, as well as horses trained up to Prix St. Georges level with potential for Grand Prix on the other hand. Sportpferde Scholz makes it possible. The live-auction begins at 6 p.m. on 28th February 2021 with online bidding, is open to the public and broadcasted by www.clipmyhorse.tv. “The deep uncertainty of many of my international clients, as well as travelling becoming harder for everyone this year, supported our decision in bringing the horses online directly into the homes of possible new owners”, explains Fabian Scholz. “Our great collection entails horses for all expectations and for all price categories. Such a collection on just one day is truly exceptional.” The lot contains 25 horses and offers the aspiring young star, the Bundeschampionat competitor or the Grand Prix prospect, as well as “a few great, safe horses trained up to M- and S-level for the ambitious amateur or younger rider”, emphasizes Scholz. One of Scholz’ favorites is First Choice, a 9-year-old son by Fürstenball, already highly successful as a five- and six-year-old at the Bundeschampionat and meanwhile trained up to Prix St. Georges level with victories over 75 percent.

Happiness for the little ones:
Many reasons made 2020 a truly special year- a truly happy one especially for Carina and Fabian Scholz, as they got married last October and are expecting their first child. “This is obviously our main focus right now”, says Fabian Scholz. Due to the fact of children and horses being the two main topics in their life, the couple decided to use the auction in order to support the association “Pferde für unsere Kinder e.V.” After the auction, one of the famous wooden horses and a learning bag by “Pferde für unsere Kinder e.V. will be donated to the Marienkindergarten in Glandorf.
