Three selection methods. One destination, 1.60m. Each marker represents a dramatic increase in the probability of reaching the top of the sport.

World No. 6
Nina Mallevaey
Grand Prix Rider · France
Currently ranked World No. 6 and the highest-ranked female rider in the world, Nina is particularly drawn to 160Foals’ data-driven approach to dam-line analysis. Her own top mares, Dynastie de Beaufour and Nikka van de Bisschop, are powerful examples of the importance of elite maternal families, both coming from dam lines with more than 20% of siblings reaching the international 1.60m level.
Olympic Bronze
François Mathy Sr
Olympian · Breeder · Belgium
Olympic medallist, legendary horseman, lifelong breeder, and one of the most influential dealers of Grand Prix horses across the 20th and 21st centuries. Decades spent at the very top of the sport have reinforced his conviction that the strongest predictor of greatness remains the depth and consistency of the dam line.

Frequently Asked
The questions serious buyers ask.
If yours isn’t listed, write us. We reply within 24 hours.
How is selection actually verified?
Every mare is cross-referenced against the Hippomundo database and partner studbook records. Competition data behind every claim. No mare enters the selection without a verifiable 1.60m result, her own, her offspring’s, or her full brothers’ and sisters’.
What veterinary documentation is provided?
Two weeks before the auction, every foal will undergo a full veterinary clinical examination conducted by an independent equine veterinarian, covering general health, locomotion, conformation, heart, lungs, eyes, skin and overall soundness. 
And, in a first for a foal auction, every foal will also be officially measured and benchmarked against standard growth curves, providing buyers with an additional objective indicator of physical development and projected size.
Who can bid?
Anyone can register to bid. All registrations are subject to approval by the 160Foals team, ensuring a curated community of serious buyers and preserving the integrity of the auction. Registration opens on June 15th through the 160 Circle.
Where is the auction held?
Fully online, broadcast live, online on 30 June 2026 at 20:00 CET. The format is designed for serious international participants from any time zone.
