Stars and Stripes Online Auction – BidUp Explained

The ESI Stars and Stripes Online Auction will take place from June 7th to June 9th, featuring a high-quality selection of Hunter and Equitation horses.

On Monday evening, starting at 7:00 PM (CEST), the BidUp phase begins – kicking off with Lot 1 and continuing sequentially through the catalog, featuring 24 Auctionhorses.

How does BidUp work?

Each horse enters the final bidding phase (BidUp) individually. Once a lot enters BidUp, a 5-minute countdown starts. If no additional bids are placed during these 5 minutes, the highest bidder wins the bid for the Auctionhorse.

However, if a new bid is submitted during the countdown, the timer resets to 5 minutes. This process repeats as long as new bids continue to come in.

Acquire a talented foal or a horse with jumping course experience.

In the past 20 years, equestrian sport has continuously expanded on a national basis and as a result of globalisation, internationally as well. Until about 10 years ago, the sport was centred in Europe and North America, but the Middle East, Asia, Russia and South America have made their presence felt in the last few years. This is one of the reasons why the demand for horses – jumpers in particular – has continued to rise. At the same time, the conception rates in the major breeding countries of Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium are trending downward. This translates into a lower foal supply in the future. Against the background of rising demand, lower supply means high prices for developed, proven jumpers.
Successful investors buy their horses at the ESI auction and sell them again after the completion of their development phase. Many of these horses and their owners have become highly visible and successful in the sport.
