For Oldenburg foals, the earnest of life begins with their first public appearance at the registration events that are held from the middle of April until the end of July each year. For the approximately 6,000 foals born each year in total, this is not only about being registered but also competing for a foal premium which is awarded to especially good fillies and colts.
Approximately 200 foals from each year’s crop are also admitted to the auctions in Vechta. The strict selection principle employed by the Oldenburg Verband ensures that buyers find an outstanding concentration of high quality foals for dressage as well as show jumping to choose from. You’ll find a collection of foals at the Summer Mixed Sales in June, at the Elite Foal Auction the end of August as well as at the free treaty Foal Market which is held one day after the Elite Foal Auction and at the Fall Elite Auction the beginning of October.
