British Breeding Futurity Elite Auction

Saturday, 04 September 2021

British Breeding is delighted to announce the 2021 British Breeding Futurity Elite Auction, featuring a selection from the strongest Futurity candidates of the season in Showjumping, Eventing and Dressage.

All auction lots have passed a strict and comprehensive selection process involving a detailed veterinary assessment from senior, highly respected experts in the field, followed by an evaluation from a team of judges of international renown.

Building on the success of the first ever Futurity Online Auction in 2020, British Breeding are again working with ClipMyHorse.tv and to extend the auction to a hybrid format, continuing to reach out to a global audience of buyers, who can bid via the CMH website and online portal, while also offering investors closer to home the opportunity to meet our candidates in the flesh and enjoy the buzz and atmosphere of a live auction evening.

The venue for the auction will be the beautiful facilities at the BS National Training Centre, Home Farm, Hothorpe, LE17 6QX, which have recently undergone a significant investment by British Showjumping, creating a perfect backdrop for our world class sale.

Says Iain Graham, CEO of British Showjumping: “Having hosted one of the busiest and most successful Futurity sessions of the season, we are delighted to welcome back some of the wonderful British bred foals and young horses we saw. Here at British Showjumping we are passionate about supporting British breeders who hold the key to the future of the sport in this country. The auction will provide an excellent opportunity to offer the very best of the Futurity candidates a truly global platform to showcase the excellent quality produced by many breeders in this country today.”

The eventers and showjumpers will be sold on Tuesday, 21st September, while the dressage collection will go under the hammer on Wednesday, 22nd September.

Interested buyers are invited to come and meet the auction candidates on the day, during an open stable session in the afternoon, before returning to an enjoyable auction experience and celebration of British breeding in the evening.

Prior to the auction, interested buyers will have the opportunity to gain an in-depth insight into the merits of the auction lots in two dedicated preview webinars with the breeders and international expert guests on 14 September 2021 for the eventers and showjumpers and on 15 September 2021 for the dressage collection.
