Former trainers Trent and Toby Edmonds were pleased with the result, taking to twitter to share their feelings on the sale.
So proud of this great mare!
She helped put us on the 🗺 & here Houtzen is being appreciated on the other side of the 🌎
Really glad she finds a home for life with one of the world’s best racehorse owner/breeder’s @StonestreetFarm 🙏 https://t.co/Eh2TB5GCLQ

The sale will be a good result for Aquis Farm, who bought a large share in Houtzen before she contested the Group 1 King Stand Stakes in Great Britain.
