The NEXGEN team are proud to present their inaugural auction as part of the NEXGEN Young Horse series from 23-25 September 2021. 

Since its launch in 2020, the NEXGEN Young Horse series has brought together the UK’s best four- to seven-year-old horses from the three Olympic disciplines, culminating in a young horse festival at the world-famous Hickstead Showground, West Sussex. All finalists have gone through a qualifying process throughout the preceding months, and unite at the final to compete for an overall prize fund of £52,000.

New for 2021 is the inaugural NEXGEN auction, with a brand-new, innovative concept: all auction horses are qualified finalists and will compete at the final at Hickstead where buyers can watch them live or on the livestream and bid for their favourite online over the three days of the show. 

Potential buyers will be able to see all horses in a championship environment without any staged or re-shot auction videos - total transparency! All horses have undergone a five-stage vetting and radiography examination which will be available to view for registered bidders on www.nexgenauction.com.

Six Dressage Diamonds

The Dressage lots consist of six dressage diamonds and is spearheaded by the seven-year-old KWPN Nourejev son Woodcroft Jamais Noubliez, a consistent young horse winner at 4, 5, 6 and 7. He is no stranger to the competition ring and is qualified for the British Dressage seven-year-old championship at the British National Championships 2021. He impressed the judge in the NEXGEN qualifier with his paces and rideability as well as the confidence with which he mastered the challenges of the seven-year-old test - he is ready to compete at Prix St George.

Finisterre
He is joined by three top six-year-olds. The grey KWPN gelding SJL King is from the damline of Charlotte Dujardin’s grand prix horse Tatler as well as Carl Hester’s grand prix Horse Ekitof, with great looks and rideability as well as scores in British Dressage Medium level up to 76%. He has competed at Young Horse Semi-finals, Regional Championships as well as Premier League shows and is a top prospect for the future.

The chestnut KWPN gelding Kastello by Blue Hors Zack is a beautiful model with three super paces. He is also a great campaigner in the dressage arena, having won five out of six British Dressage classes with scores up to 75%. He has also started competing at British Dressage Medium level and is training at the higher levels. Another classy young dressage horse with a bright future.

The group of six-year-olds is concluded with the dreamy Finisterre (by Finest), a dark diamond with three big paces. Finisterre has been aimed at the young horse circuit, consistently placing in the top six, including Myerscough Premier League. Finisterre shows a huge amount of talent for the highest levels and is ready to take the dressage world by storm.

The two rookies of the selection are four-year-old SJL Zapphire, a stunning BWP gelding by Blue Hors Zack. This gorgeous young dressage talent impressed in the NEXGEN qualifier at Arena UK with his total composure, showing three elastic paces and a polished performance. The sky is the limit with this young performer.

NEXGEN Young Horse Finals and Auction
Last but certainly not least in the NEXGEN dressage collection is the four-year-old KPWN daughter of Spielberg, Marysette SK. Her sire Spielberg needs no introduction, being also the sire of several international grand Prix horses including Olympic silver medallist Suppenkasper. Marysette SK herself showed her authority in the NEXGEN dressage qualifier at Felbridge Showground, delivering a test full of poise, confidence, rideability and talent. This young mare will be a dressage force to be reckoned with.
