Presentation Pointers

We began our journey of approximately 1 year before the purchase of our Hanover gelding. At that time, our first store in the United States for a young dressage prospect. Our goal was to get a horse with potential, who can enjoy the development and promotion to its full capacity.

Living in the West, we discovered that there are few farms in our area that only for the development of dressage horses. So we started a wide search to visit the local houses,exploration of the word of mouth marketing and local advertising, and online by extensive research. While our many beautiful horses, we have our "Site" dream horses found. We were just looking for an engine of imagination, but a horse for dressage with extraordinary athletic ability and intelligence, and especially the desire to work livestock. Like many other people have said to the horses, as we found it extremely difficult to find a horse with the desired movement, as well as a horse with the intelligence you want, and workEthics, up to a horse by a veterinarian test to pass, and ultimately, to meet our desired budget. So our European tour has not started, because we could buy in the United States, but because after a few months of research, we decided to change our approach, we hope to improve our success rate.

Growing up, I rode a dressage barn, which often had German judges, coaches, students, and especially the horses Germans to visit. While my Thoroughbred, I developed an appreciation of the belovedof German horse breeding industry, and on the basis of these considerations, we decided that we try to change, we will go to Germany for the dream of buying experience in our lives. As I often tell friends, "was our one mad moment! So we were in no way experts in Europe shopping Riding horses and absolutely no broker. Therefore, we are trained extensively before our visit. I said to my disappointment that there is little or no relevant guides on the internet and basically onlybroker to offer a horse for you.

The first step in our horse tries to find and develop a relationship with a local dressage trainer. Gintaras Slavinskas we chose because of his friendly nature and desire to put pressure on a young horse, but the young horse to promote the development of its best only with positive reinforcement. Therefore, we have consulted extensively Gintaras our decision to close the shop in Germany and soon we were all very excited and ready to jump on the next level.Common sense took over, however, and we decided to wait another couple of months, while a pair of contacts, photos, elected for a constraint or a horse to participate in the auction, and basically educate us.

In this process, we learned that most of the Germans record warmblood auction offered over the years, and thankfully all now offer online viewing and information on the elections for the next auction. We're on a survey of Oldenburg, Westphalia and records of Hanover.All their website can be found at gate.com horse and be sure to select the British flag in the menu on the left of the English version of the page. After finding the snake-fence, we will examine all the Verband We were interested in riding at the gate were found between the object of the auction. Select this button and you will receive additional opportunities in Hanover, Holstein, Oldenburg, Wastfalan find, and ESI

Only when we run (Hannover), we begin to look at the online auction and choseThe results of the race. The Verband Hannover has 12 auctions a year, so we can check a couple before our visit. Auctions are all slightly different in the context of horses offered and the price / quality of these horses, so I suggest you explore their website too early to determine what shaft is best for you.

We chose the July Summer sale and were able to monitor the tender results for winter and spring. For all the auctions of the choice of a horse is reported andnumbered, most of the horses, still photos and video are different. Now that the auction is also a live video shows a representation of the entire selection. All the buyer to have a good sense of quality and type of offer. Auction houses can offer, and buy the phone, but I personally do not recommend the purchase based solely on information on the Internet, we discovered that because of the horses themselves in real life drastically changed our favorites.In fact, we have examined all the photos and saw all the videos easily 100 times to participate and have a short list of the strengths of each horse, but the moment you arrive, we had the list and told to make an geslinger based on our new live show. There's nothing better than to see and interact directly with the horses. For online viewing, you can also search the archives and see how the post-sales relationships and learn information such as the number of horses after each country, the averageselling beyond the high prices and low sales. The site broke many horses are sold in all price ranges. I would encourage you to take these statistics and then to remember that are not in dollars but in euros, so you can convert your prices in euro. And remember that the fabric of this experiment, because the present course is absolutely not in our favor.

For the best prices, we have arranged the tickets in advance, and if it was "We loveadventure, "We chose to travel first class. We found that the online store and shop early, we were able to take a first-class tickets at a price nearly trainer. So I encourage you to use the money to research fares online the auction to save it.

Why do not you know anyone in Germany, and certainly not the city we know Bond is called (which are very helpful for their guests) and went with their recommendation Haag Niedersachsenhof. We found that a fair pricenice hotel with a lot of European charm. Their contact number is 04231/666-0. Although it was a nice hotel is the main advantage is that it is only a short distance from the auction house were repeated visits during our stay. Verband Hannover and the auction house is located in Lower Germany in the small city of Greens. The nearest airport is in Bremen. A couple of other hotels in the city of Greens, but require a short car or taxi to the auction.

For ourI have a taxi transport from Bremen, which is used for the world, because we do not want the hassle of driving in a foreign country. The prices are good and the accommodation of taxis are clean and new, with experienced managers. We have a pick up time and date for our taxi driver, and asked immediately as expected. Auto leases can also be used, but I call for further research in rent.

Okay, so the arrival time is also important to determine the maximum time to see and experience the horse beforeactual sales. The auction rules, the horses are available 2 weeks before the auction and Elite 1 month before the auction. We attended the 1 week before the auction, but appreciate and enjoy the week more. Furthermore, many international competitors have to participate in the first week in which it was not so busy and not as many eyes as she recovers.

The minutes of the auction is a presentation or training a horse in the morning and prospective buyers andtraining to the test in the afternoon. They also held a formal presentation of all the horses under the saddle, at least once or twice before the auction. Dressage horses are worked in dressage and jumpers are skipped. Each horse is assigned a coach who will work with him on the street and that person will be a valuable asset for you. I would encourage you to use to groom and coach of your favorite talk about a better feeling to get on the horse.

We meet on the morning of the formalpresentation, which begins at noon, and 'went well into the night. The auction we attended 142 horses offered for sale, and every time they took place. We were fortunate to have regular contact with a buyer's auction of horses, of Rose Lane Sport Horses Melissa Mulchahey, our coach, and offered his help at no cost. Also get a discount on the auction broker pay and certain other incentives in the auction house, for their contribution toevent. So we met with Melissa, as the night and found it pleasant, informed and is a valuable asset for learning the protocol of the auction.

Initially we found it very difficult to form a short list of all the horses were so beautiful at first impression. However, the presentation halfway thorough, we have a beautiful black gelding with 3 white socks, Blaze and Sabino markings seen and 'float' around the arena. He was named Latin Lover, and for me it was love at first sight, but my coachand Melissa did their duty well and explore all possibilities. An interesting note is that the Latin lover is not an online video or picture is not as it was not initially on our list. By the end of the evening we all had to sleep standing up with the jet lag and crawl into bed.

Excitement of the auction, we have been since the morning and after a quick breakfast, we went into the sand and enjoy the visit of each horse as he ate breakfast in his shed. One of our Short ListThe horses were a Russian Hesse says Fox, and was one of the few that has kept us on the list, after a visit in person. As a side note, the Verband Hannover recently purchased by the Hessen Verband Hannover and Hesse already registered and offered for auction. Hess was a nice sized chestnut again with Sabino markings socks and flames, but mostly clean and free movement. We visited him while he ate breakfast, and all agreed that it was clean and well donetogether. We then visited the black horse, which seems to be one of the 2 Hessian auction and find amid all the chaos in auction for a nap. But immediately stood up when greeted us and gave us all a listen. At that point we all agreed that it was a teddy bear, but that any decision would not until we formed the short-list and tried a number of horses. But it was totally on the list.

A few words on the sale of chaos, it is certainlystressful for young horses to participate in the auction and was actually more stressful when I initially expected. But all the horses treated with great care and love from the context. It was all about the horse, and if a horse is destined to be tired or stressed, a visit to a sign on his booth he was, and could not borrow, or sought during this period. Another surprising result is that many of these young horses, lower respiratory tract infection developed. Looking back I thinkIt was to be expected, since the auction of several horses at the young age of many businesses – much like school. The most general of this URI was mild nasal discharge, and every horse was examined and treated by the veterinarian in the house.

We continue the journey of a day and several times to speak to all the grooms and trainers. The bridegroom is chestnut agreed that an engine had very nice, balanced for a young horse, and wasBlack's husband stated that he has had a wonderful character. The other horses, we studied included both mares and geldings aged 3 to 6 years and height of 15.2 to over 17 hh. Examining the leaves, which have been particularly interested in a horse groom and ask him out for further investigation and control of hand movements. It 'was very useful in determining the potential defects of conformation and character. Some of the horses were clearlynot the horses and people standing by the back door and that others would giggle and all the new visitors welcome.

Later in the program each day began with team trainers to ride their horses. Find useful to list the sale of the entire selection is useful to take notes on each horse shown. Each horse was running with the coach for about 15-20 minutes and there were 4-5 horses in the field at any time. When the wagon was done ridinghe or she would take the horse to the end of the scene, get off and wait for potential buyers to come from the public and a request for the horse to try. It 'was an interesting and sometimes amusing, as most of these horses were very green and is of little or no control or burst. And everyone can try the horse, whatever their ability or inability. Association of teachers of the course, each horse looks like a mountain, but it was eye opening to see someRiders on the same armor Monti. We saw a couple of riders fall, throwing and running during this period. If you try these horses is better to have eyes in the back of the head to seek the unexpected sequence of pilot inattention. Caution is strongly recommended. It is helpful to first talk with the trainer of the horse, so you have an understanding, if you must pay attention to that individual to get a lift.

For both our top picks (chestnut and white) for teachers were relaxed and readyhanded over the reins. Both horses were consumed well beyond their years and great riders. Other horses have tried have been very anxious and, perhaps, as beautiful engines are frightened or aggressive character. Often the trainers of these horses will propose a warning before the passage of the reins. Sign of respect for these horses that work hard, it is recommended that the units are kept short with enough time to do an impression of the way to go. Most people taken by this, but someis not, and is universally disapproved.

A pilot interesting is an old man who has shown an expert horseman, and find a beautiful bay. After removal of the knight's horse a big kiss on the nose. E 'was great to see all the stresses of the day.

If you try to get a horse, I suggest you check your choices back to the barn. During this period we can see the horse moving in a straight line from behind and see how you react to untacking to steer and bathing.

Wehas come to make our short list of about 5 horses, but the black and chestnut, the first 2 picks, black and my personal favorite. When we have a short list of our vet home visits and requests for information was to verify veterinarian. He was very helpful and is actually the digital radiography for those who are interested in giving. We discovered that the chestnut has 2 slides and black, but chips 1 molar tooth missing. As a small animal veterinarian, I have found interesting because they sound chip vocabularynothing like a benign, but actually refers to the chip or cartilage lesions of OCD lesions, which potentially can cause paralysis in later life, according to the position of the chip. They also evaluated the chips as 1-3 with the highest as the most problematic. I recommend meeting with your veterinarian first horse enters the auction and talk about what kind of OCD lesion might be acceptable for you.

So we were very disappointed with the 2 chips in chestnut, but decided to postponeQuality him on the list that the chip was low, and will be removed if necessary. The missing tooth was not a major concern of the black, but I do not think it will need periodic oscillations of the teeth and good dental care. Several other topics were the other horse on our list. Basically, every horse is something that is identified in the veterinary check, and it is your duty to your team by the veterinarian and the trainer uses to determine what is acceptable – for realauction.

After meeting with the veterinarian, we have a horse, took our list of Class 3 Slides and added a second, but kept the original 2 ° The task now was the priority of Biding for each horse and decide whether to bid for All the short list, until you win. We discovered that Chestnut will be sold at auction, and asked the black night and presented late in the evening. This increases a dilemma because we have to decide if we waited for our first choice (black) or Biding starts soon. Wealso needed to determine how high we will go for each choice. Ultimately, we decided to offer our two favorites, and those sold at the end of the list, if we back-up.

In the mid-week we have Melissa a journey through the country and a visit to a good stability (Dressage Stall Kubelka) owned and operated by his coach. We had a pleasant visit here and were shown some of the non-horse auction for the sale, including a beautiful gray gelding 5 years. We decided to keepThis horse as our back-up for the auction, which he loved.

After this view everyday of our horses, training and presentation continued until the day of the auction just arrived. We all wake up early and had a lot of nerves. I wish my math done many times during the night, before determining how high should I bid in euros. One thing that I think in light of what is available for auction is a printed sheet spread of the dollar and euro equivalents. In the heat ofThe auction is very useful to look down, and how many dollars that are actually used to know. As often as I do, I still believe that we offer in Euro to maintain the dollar, so reminiscent of the paper is helpful.

We were fortunate that Melissa was able to get seats in the front row for the auction on an excellent line of sight for action, and auctioneer. I recommend that the tickets before contacting Mr. Malte Kanz tickets @ + 49 42 31 / 6 73 50, for the price range 10-25 euro bookeach.

Our protocol was given for time to discuss and Melissa has made offers to us. Seems to be a blessing, because everything was much faster than expected, since the offer began. The auction begins with the auctioneer starts at € 5,000 for the first horse, and grew quickly from there. Auctioneer does not exist in German, but practical advice sitemap above him, was available that displays the current supply. Some young people were present at the arena to serve asreferrals and help manage the attention of the auctioneer as the agent. The current offer is a yellow card, which is contained in the brochure made and decorated with the logo of Hanover. When the card is to raise the high bid was made complete when the card was presented horizontally, the buyer can prove by means of a tender where the auctioneer may or may not be accepted.

Everything was very new for us, but we had a really good time watching the active bidders, the horses andauctioneer. We found that, immediately after a horse was sold, the buyer is presented with the gift of Bond, which varies from Hannover logo cups for bottles of champagne, depending on how the horse is for sale.

Enjoyment continued until the first time on stage to collect chestnuts rolled into the arena as he drove, and to offer seemed to come from all over the world at the same time. I set my maximum bid is slightly lower than the blacks and we were quickly outbid. E 'statebreak and for the moment, we wondered if we would be able to produce one of us falls in the home. The offer ended with chestnut goes to Italy.

The blacks were the last 1 / 3 of the auction, and we have a long wait anxiously for our next attempt was. Teddy Bear, black, (actually Latin Lover) came out of the barn doors and on the stage, as he would throughout his life. Has never frightened or geskroom just float around the arena. The offer was turned off again, and we were allworried. Melissa told us that they would offer until the last moment and to have patience, but it was very difficult. He actually waited until the hammer was to fall, pray for us, just the people who sat behind us, began to offer! We pray and forth a few times until he hesitated, and everything went silent for what seems like forever. Everyone was waiting for the decision. Melissa turned and looked at them pending a decision, I was in tearsbut he could not take my eyes off of this play. After a few seconds, second preferred bidder, and thought that we won our Teddy Bear. Unfortunately, our hopes were crushed when a second person who has submitted a bid of around the arena. I immediately had an arm around Dollar Euro calculation, I realized that was already very close and decided to jump. We presented our winning bids and Teddy Bear!

When the gift came with carrying a few bottles of champagne, I realize that I have gone over budget, but was still veryglad I did. We were all in tears for the tension and excitement, but they were tears of joy and expressed great relief. I was pleased that the beautiful black bear, I did the first night was actually taken our. It's not just really looking.

After we won the race with the reality as quickly as a mediator to accompany us to the office to sign the contract. No money was exchanged at this time and I learned that most people are flying home on Sunday, and then make a bank transfer toBond for payment on Monday. But we have arranged a flight later this week, after informing the agency of these felt that they were very helpful and willing to work with us.

We returned to the arena and began to see the rest of the auction, but was again recommended by Melissa, the protocol for the groom takes the horse out for a photo and then go back to the barn to enjoy champagne in connection with the former owners – a farewell party of sorts.

WeTeddy out to the green for a photo and I could stay there all day, but it was too soon back to his stall, where we met the previous owners. They speak English (a good deal if I do not speak German) and during our conversation, pointed out that it is usually raised horses and ponies teddy bears sporting their first stop was the older boys. The woman told me that their favorite breed of horse and a beautiful black stallion Latimer long dreamed of a star. WhenHe came, he was called Latin Lover. I was on the close relationship they had with Teddy surprise, they were both crying all the time. Later that evening I learned that it was their favorite child, and so he had sold, it was difficult for everyone. I have to thank them for the breeding and raising a wonderful horse, and for those who are willing to share with him. We had already decided to enjoy Champagne and learned that Teddy loves to drink from a glass, but it was just having a sip.Barn Party finished with our exchange of information on contacts with the previous owners and has promised to write and keep it updated.

We returned to camp to see the latest auction, and the old man who had kissed her mount on the nose, which now offers a win, and that the same horse. After winning, he jumped the fence and went out to give a kiss on the nose Gulf. First, we had was a wonderful night, but there is still much work to do.

The next step was tovisited the man responsible for the shooting of horses in training and auction. For a nominal fee that has video clips of our horses were collected in a DVD for us. You can also request a DVD of the horses in radiographs or films where the action will mail for you immediately after the auction.

We have contacted the trucking company with a return flight to America to organize bears. Guido Klatt was our choice, after the companies analyzed before the auction, we decided that itthe most reliable and experienced. Contact number Klatt 49-4472 9400 7-0. For the return flight horses are in a barn window while you are on the ground. Stalls can be and usually is divided into 3 individual stalls allowing for the first class, business class and coach transportation. Most of the horses, flying 3 in cash, and prices at the time was around 7800.00. Stall Box is full of horses and the entire stand is raised and spent in the belly of the plane. Fewseats are available on the aircraft and the provision can be made for the return flight with your horse. I was not aware that it is currently so Teddy would have to fly without us. We leave next Wednesday in the program and will continue in Germany for most of this time. It 'been a good time to give us the opportunity to learn Teddy in the coming days, when the chaos has subsided from the auction. It 'was interesting to see all the Brender-up "style trailers towed by horses to assemble Mercedeswalks for their new home. Stables have quickly emptied every few horses go to the USA at the same level. It 'time to move away too quickly, and we kissed Teddy (his name is now firmly) say goodbye and leave the house to know that he would be there shortly. On arrival, we made the cables needed and awaited his arrival in California, the Los Angeles airport. Jet Pets, the receiving company and get paid for the care of the horse gelding during the 3-day quarantine. We were able toorganize everything from Guido Klatt, including reservation and payment. Stallions and mares in the country should go in a separate structure known as a tool for CEM quarantine and had a longer stay.

The cost of the Sea of quarantine is about $ 1950 Stallions 4500 and is domiciled and testing. For the costs of geldings are much lower, because they have only 3 days with Jet Pets and all the tests and documents can be completed before arrival at the trucking company.

Teddyarrived in the early years of the United States in the morning, and you receive a call from Jet Pets has advised us that he had arrived safely. Could be that the temperature daily to ensure that the fever was not going fast, and if all went well, would communicate to him in the next 3 days. I was also able to obtain information on transport of goods by local animals Jet arranged and resistance from Los Angeles to Arizona. I received a call from Jet animals received daily on his status and the 3rd day he receives a call that waspicked up and was going home. We were lucky, but must continue to operate as normal and work for the day. After work, I participated in the barn during a thunderstorm, freaks and discovered that my coach has already received had placed him in his new barn. I came into the barn completely in awe that I had seen there, and turned and presented his back to us! I was not sure what to make of this, as it was Teddy, and we know that he had not actually earsor seen evil. I rubbed his tail thinking about this and he geleun in a very long scratch. Teddy would be scratching his ass! It 'a habit that continues today. All items available makes a good scraper bum, but we still do it for him. Was finally home, and it was Teddy remember.
