OWNING

Central European Horse Sales — founded in 2026 in the Czech Republic.

Founded in 2026 by a lifelong passionate horse owner and bloodstock agent with a never-ending interest in bloodstock and horses, OWNING was created to change how sport horses are sold in Central Europe.

To change how sport horses are sold in Central Europe — connecting exceptional horses with buyers through a premium, carefully produced experience while protecting the interests of consignors and prioritising the horse’s long-term welfare.

The website and sales calendar are being prepared for official announcements. Consignors and buyers may enquire now; forthcoming auctions will appear on the calendar when published.

About the founder

Adam Tluka

Born in Czechia and fluent in Czech, English, and French, Adam Tluka brings a European perspective to every conversation around the horse. He studied at the Czech Racing School in Velká Chuchle and at the French bilingual Grammar School of Jan Neruda in Prague — foundations that shaped both his horsemanship and his international outlook.

He graduated with an MBA with honours from Hartpury University on the International Horseracing Business course, combining academic discipline with a career already rooted in the racing and bloodstock world.

Having worked with horses across Europe, he brings bloodstock management experience from Czechia, France, Ireland, and England — the practical network and judgement behind OWNING’s approach to presentation, welfare, and trusted sales.
