This year, it was a show jumper that became the price highlight at the 2004 P.S.I. Auction in Ankum, Germany, on December 12, 2004. An Asian jumping rider purchased the bay Holsteiner gelding Quin Chin (Quantum x Campione) for 1,200,000 euro. Quin Chin, who became the 2004 World Young Horse Show Jumping Champion in Lanaken, Belgium, will stay at Paul Schockemohle's in Muhlen for further training. Second most expensive jumper was Coster, the 2004 Bundeschampion in the 5-year old division. The gray licensed Holsteiner stallion has found a new owner in Mexico, who purchased him for 700,000 euro. Price highlight of the dressage collection was the licensed Oldenburg stallion Santa Cruz (Sandro Hit x Calypso II). Auctioneer Uwe Heckmann struck his hammer on the bid of 750,000 euro. An American dressage enthusiast, who wishes to remain anonymous, acquired this beautiful stallion. Santa Cruz will stay in training at Hof Kasselmann in Hagen, Germany, for another year to be schooled to Prix St Georges level. After that the owner will decide when to import him into the States.
