On November 1st, the first national Vostok auction will take place at VDNH — the debut open trading in the history of the Russian equestrian market. Leading horse farms of Russia will present elite sport horses of various breeds and colors. Before entering the arena, each animal will be examined and evaluated by veterinarians and trainers. Special attention will be given to the origin, health, and temperament of the horses. The auction will be held in the Large Horse Arena of the Center for National Equestrian Traditions, created on the basis of the restored historic pavilion “Horse Breeding” built in 1954.

The auction will bring together breeders, farm owners, professional athletes, as well as enthusiasts of equestrian sports and horses. Buyers from around the world will be able to participate in the bidding and purchase a promising horse.

Visitors will see a rich selection of breeds and colors. The classic disciplines—show jumping and dressage—will feature high-class horses of Hanoverian, Westphalian, Trakehner, Holsteiner, and Belgian breeds. For enthusiasts of national traditions, racing, and driving, Budyonny, Akhal-Teke, and Don horses will be offered, and for the youth division—ride ponies.

Visitors will be able to purchase young horses of rare and classic colors — from palomino and isabelline to gray, bay, chestnut, and black.
