WEF Sport Horse Auction

09/14/2026

Auction Graduate and VDL Stud homebred Farrel VDL (Cardento x Stakkato) was amazing again in Spruce Meadows, Calgary. 🇨🇦
In the 5* GP in July he took 2nd place with Daniel Coyle and now he jumped a clear in the first round of the Rolex Grand Prix. Just one double kept them out of the jump off of this prestigious event, leaving them in a still incredible 10th place.

What a horse, what a rider, what an inspirational story! 🔝

💪2024 graduate VDL Ni**od ES won the 2* Grand Prix in Rockwood Canada with Canadian rider Dylan Munro!

Very impressive result for a just 8 year old. He wasn’t the only 8 year old graduate to place in this class. This years graduate, Nord Face VDL and Daniel Coyle took 6th place!

Congratulations to owners, riders and the teams behind them!

Great job!

“That was a lot of fun,” Pratt said of his winning jump-off ride. “Ideaal is such a fun horse to ride – very careful and has a huge heart.

Alongside the successful auction we took a moment to present an award to the ‘Graduate of the Year’; a horse who has achieved incredible things and in this case it comes with a unique story!

VDL Farrel owned by Ariel Grange and ridden by Daniel Coyle has reached incredible heights. Recently it was announced that he is in the top 10 of the WBSFH Breeder Rankings due to his relentless top form. What makes this story extra special he had spent 4 years off after an injury, through the great care and attention from Lothlorien Farm he made his return and climbed through the ranking to show why he was selected for the auction back in 2017!

An incredible story, incredible horse and a monumental team effort!
