You can buy champions at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag

Looking for a champion in the future? Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has already been able to auction many of these and shared in the joy of Dutch Young Riders champion, Denise Nekeman (photo) last Sunday. Her nine-year-old Boston STH (Johnson x Quattro, breeder JW Temmink from Vorden), sold through Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, danced with force majeure through the arena in Ermelo and was unbeatable with 76,70%.

This year, the selection committee again selected potential dressage champions, including two half-brothers from Boston STH. Father Glock's Johnson TN won silver at the National Championships for seniors on Sunday with 82,13% in the freestyle to music and secured a team spot at the European Championship with Hans Peter Minderhoud. Last year, the imposing Jazz son was already part of the golden team at the World Equestrian Games in Caen.

The Johnson sons up for auction come from Vertu Heroique (Gribaldi) and First Lady (Negro). The elite mare Vertu Heroique, a half sister of the NRPS-approved stallion Suarez (Sandreo), is the champion of dressage mares at the Central Inspection of Overijssel in 2005. First Lady is a five-year-old elite mare out of the Z2 dressage horse Adelaide (Tuschinski), who is known as a half sister of the Grand Prix dressage horse Lester (Triton) of the Finnish Pia Verjonen. Her grandmother Fantasie (Ramiro Z) competed at Z1-level dressage and is a half-sister of the Small Tour dressage horse Doreen (Ulster).

Brother of Erludine DVB
A direct son of Jazz is being auctioned, bred out of the elite mare Zarludine (Ferro x Rubinstein). It is a full brother of the very talented NMK mare Erludine DVB, who scored 86 points for her IBOP and last year won two Subli Cup preselections with 88 and 88.4 points and finished sixth in the Pavo Cup. Zarludine also produced the five-year-old dressage talent and VSN finalist Four Seasons (Vivaldi). In addition, four foals were selected that were bred out of a Jazz daughter.

Four of Negro
We often come across the blood of the Olympic stallion Ferro in the collection, if only through the four colts of his son Negro. One of them was bred out of the well-known Zhara Obertje (Jazz), champion of the National Mare Inspection in 2007. This full sister of the Grand Prix dressage stallion Tango has meanwhile been classified Prix St.Georges. Also interesting is the Negro out of Glamour-Esther SVN (Totilas), who scored 80/80 at the studbook inspection and took fifth place at the CK. Glamor-Esther SVN, bred out of the line of the Grand Prix mare Sisther de Jeu, is a half sister of four Small Tour and two Z1 horses.

Negro is also registered twice as a mother's father. With a Johnson foal mentioned earlier and with a filly by Lord Leatherdale out of the ster preferent Urona (Negro). This Urona already produced an international junior horse: Corona (Tuschinski) ridden by the Belgian Kate Wiggins.

Five by De Niro
Prinsjesdag is auctioning no fewer than five offspring of the German champion stallion De Niro. The stallion of De Niro out of Jazz mare Tsarina B is interesting. She is a half sister of Grand Prix dressage mare Reine B out of a dam line that is also steeped in dressage. Also attractively bred are the two products from the dam line of the Grand Prix dressage mare Nadine and the approved Dorado: Coosje van Johnson is responsible for the only daughter of De Niro, Gerard Vervoorn brings in a stallion out of Bertolonia van Santano.

Also not unmentioned should be the product of Pegasus Stables. This mare by Don Schufro is a dream for every dressage breeder and rider. Dam Borendy of Painted Black is a direct family of top dressage horses and approved stallions Zuidenwind, Zhivago and Charmeur.
