Ingrid Klimke to ride Rubinja TE

With approximately 600 spectators in the Kurt Günter Jagau Hall in Luhmühlen, the highlight of the Top-Event Horse Auction was the exciting bidding duel between a buyer in the gallery and at the time unknown buyer on the phone.

At €105,000 auctioneer Friedrich Wilhelm Isernhagen finally brought the hammer down in favour of the phone buyer.

The 6yr old Rubinja TE has been bought for Olympic rider Ingrid Klimke

13 horses were sold to Germany, 2 to France,1 each to Mexico, USA, Belgium, Switzerland.

The average price of the 19 horses sold was €24,000

Elmar Lesch, head of the auction team summed up, “we are pleased that a large proportion of the horses have been sold to riders who have sporting ambitions and they will continue to train these talented youngsters. Rubinja TE is of course something very special and it is fitting that she will be ridden by one of Germany’s best riders. We wish Ingrid Klimke luck for the future and hope to see Rubinja TE following in the footsteps of Ingrid’s other successful rides.”
