Stock Photo - 24 October 2020, Lower Saxony, Verden: The premium stallion (by Sezuan - Sir Donnerhall I) achieved the highest bid at the auction of the stallion licensing with 490 000 Euros. Several dozen young stallions of the Hanoverian and Rhineland breeds have applied for the coveted licensing in the past few days. When a stallion is licensed, his particularly good qualities are recognized and he is officially approved for breeding. The appearances and auctions of the two and a half year olds could be followed online via livestream. Because of Corona, only 500 visitors are permitted in the Niedersachsenhalle this year.
