Nevertheless with an across-the-sale common of simply €8,748 (US$9,445, €1=US$1.08), which was a 4% enchancment year-on-year, it was plain to see that the common vendor is taking an enormous hit on their funding, whether or not as a breeder or pinhooker. The median for the three days remained regular at €5,000 (US$5,398), whereas turnover grew by 15% to €3,735,200 (US$4,032,735) on the again of a catalog that was expanded with 10% extra horses promoting in 2024 than 12 months in the past.
