Breeze Up Sales have gained a stronger recognition in the past years with a continuous rise in quality resulting in an increasing price range towards the top end of the market.

The upcoming BBAG Spring Sale incorporating a breeze up should be able to follow that positive trend. The sale is embedded in the Baden-Baden Spring Meeting and will be held on Friday, May 23 with the breeze up starting at 9.00 a.m. and the auction being scheduled for 2.00 p.m. in the afternoon.
