𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬? 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥… 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬!
On Tuesday, I joined the press conference for the ‘𝐓𝐢𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐱 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐞𝐭𝐳𝐞𝐥 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬’ with team Flanders Foal & Embryo Auction.
Beforehand, we had a meeting about the upcoming fourth edition of the Flanders Foal Auction in Goch, which takes place on 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐉𝐮𝐥𝐲 𝟐𝟔, during the event. After that, we enjoyed a drink in front of the beautiful hotel The Wellem in Düsseldorf, Germany, followed by the press conference itself and a lovely dinner.
Host Holger Hetzel has created an impressive concept with his competition for young showjumping horses, which offers a great amount of prize money 💰 His philosophy: “The road to top-level sport is long and expensive. Riders deserve to be rewarded for developing young horses.” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
He also revealed that he plans to purchase a foal during the Flanders Foal Auction together with the hotel owner, with the intention of auctioning it off later this year at his annual Holger Hetzel Sport Horse Sales, for a good cause! We’re excited to see which one he chooses. The collection is amazing (and already online https://flandersfoalauction.be/en/veiling/Flanders-Foal-Auction-at-Hetzel-Stables) 🌟🌟🌟
The ‘Tiemeyer x Holger Hetzel Young Horse Masters’ kicks off on Thursday, July 24 and wraps up on Sunday, July 27. Entry is free, as is the auction. You can find the full show program here: www.holger-hetzel.com/tiemeyer-x-hetzel-young-horse-masters
