Nouvelle Feniz Texel masterpiece of very successful Prinsjesdag auction

With a record price of € 85,000, the extreme movement talent Nouvelle Feniz Texel (by Glock's Toto Jr.) turned out to be the absolute auction topper of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. Good prices and a good average of € 12,500 were also achieved across the board. Just like yesterday with the jumping foals, there was a lot of interest from all over Europe for the strong collection of foals.

At the 26th edition of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, the movement talents turned out to be in great demand. Nouvelle Feniz Texel (Glock's Toto Jr. x Negro), bred by Willem van der Linde, resulted in an exciting bidding duel in which the Dantism family eventually won. Their ten-year-old daughter Aaliyah immediately fell for the extremely talented filly for which the hammer fell to €85,000. Excellent prizes were also won by Natural Spring SSS (by Totilas, € 56,000), Ninvasion (by Glock's Toto Jr., € 32,000) and Nox (by Fürst Romancier, € 30,000). “Last year we had a record-breaking auction for dressage foals, which set the bar extra high this year. We are very pleased that we have again been able to realize such a successful auction together, with almost the same average price. Very attractive prices have been won in both width and height, including an extreme outlier in terms of price and quality. Every round, Nouvelle Feniz Texel continued to attract great attention and the moment of the day is certainly decisive for dressage foals”, chairman Arjan van der Waaij looks back at the auction.

Great interest

Most of the foals have had new Dutch owners and future talents have also been sold to strong dressage countries such as Germany and Denmark. "There was a lot of interest in the foals from all over Europe, we noticed that in the preliminary phase. Both the VIP and the grandstand were packed, and that not only ensured good prices but also a lot of atmosphere." The online live bidding, which was introduced this year by Foal Auction Prinsjesdag in equestrian Netherlands, also proved to be of added value, just like yesterday. “As an organisation, we are pleased to have been able to live up to the high expectations again this year. It will be another great challenge to match this next year.”
