In memoriam Gem Dekker

Our board member and friend Gem Dekker passed away at the age of 68. Far too soon we had to say goodbye to a major pillar, the pivot of the National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. We are losing a man of enormous commitment, who has contributed to the success of our auction almost from the beginning. But above all, we lose a dear friend, a man who greatly determined the atmosphere. He left his amiable stamp on the selection days, which not only resulted in good foals, but also a great internal team atmosphere.

Friendship, passion for horses and breeding and serving the common good. These are the concepts that Gem Dekker embodied and that we as a board will hold in high esteem. This is how Gem lives on in the National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag.
