A two-month-old colt from Totilas’ first foal crop sold for $153,500 at the 50th Oldenburg Special Auction and Summer Mixed Sale in Vechta, Germany, on June 4.
The foal, Total Ideal, is out of a Rubinstein mare named Argona, according to HorseTalk. Total Ideal was bought by the stables of Sabine Hellweg from Bad Homburg in Hesse, Germany.
The colt is black, just like his Dutch Warmblood sire, who, with rider Edward Gal, made a clean sweep of all three dressage gold medals (team, Grand Prix Special and Grand Prix freestyle) for the Netherlands at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in 2010.

The former owners of the 11-year-old stallion, Kees and Tosca Visser, announced early last year that they would be offering breeding services to the stallion on a limited basis. Frozen semen was available to owners of individually selected, high-quality mares at a stud fee of $7,183. This spring marked the stallion’s first foal crop.
On October 14, 2010, the Vissers announced they’d sold Totilas to German Olympian and breeder Paul Schockemöhle. Schockemöhle now runs the stallion’s breeding out of Mühlen, Germany.
