På hesteauksjon i Danmark: – Den har en «dejlig røv»

Two Danish men, Wibeche Nagell-Erichsen and Nils Petter Gill, were at York Stutteri for the Scandinavian Open Yearling Sale, one of the largest horse auctions in Scandinavia. The Danish man jokingly remarked that the grey-brown horse had a "delectable auctioneer" demeanor. The couple, each with over 100 million kroner in assets, were excited about the auction.

Nagell-Erichsen had previously purchased a horse named Mount Kilimanjaro for three million kroner, which she now owns at four years old. Gill has also sold horses abroad, with one selling for six million kroner. The auction featured a variety of young horses that had not yet competed in races. The pair hoped to purchase horses to sell as shares at Klampenborg Galoppbane, a nearby racecourse they both own.

The cheapest horse went for around 30,000 kroner, while others ranged up to 500,000 kroner. The event attracted international visitors, including two Norwegian men, and featured a wide range of attendees, from enthusiasts to royalty. The horses were displayed, and bidding began with British auctioneer Andrew Nolan. The most expensive horse did not sell, but another horse quickly found a buyer for 250,000 kroner.
