Foal Auction Prinsjesdag full of confidence towards 2019!
The board of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag looks back with full satisfaction on the 2018 edition. International buyers managed to find the auction again. It became clear in the jumping direction that quality and potential are paid for. The average of this evening was €14,338. The absolute top auction of 2018 turned out to be the excellent dressage foal Nouvelle Feniz Texel (by Glock's Toto Jr.) on September 12, who changed owners for €85,000.
Chairman Arjan van der Waaij about the last edition: “We have every reason to be positive. We auctioned well and the entire administrative process went smoothly.” The jumping auction went fantastic. New Usha van 't Studutch (by Cavalier Royale) yielded €52,000. Next Meta became the second most expensive foal. This extremely interesting mare by Cornet Obolensky is the full sister of the KWPN champion stallion Kannan Jr. and raised €44,000.
The second auction day was dominated by the dressage talents. Nouvelle Feniz Texel, bred by the van der Linde family, provided an exciting bidding duel. The Dantism family won for no less than € 85,000. Great prizes were also paid for Natural Spring SSS (by Totilas, €56,000) and Ninvasion (by Glock's Toto Jr., €32,000).
Stand during the KWPN Stallion Inspection
In February, the Prinsjesdag team will be present again with a stand during the upcoming KWPN stallion selection in Den Bosch. Van der Waaij: “Interested people can find us at our familiar spot on the main slope. Everyone is welcome for a chat and a cup of coffee. I therefore invite everyone to come along.” Breeders can register their (expected) foals online. This can also be done directly in the stand via the laptop.
Van der Waaij: “We will continue to select according to our motto 'the power of performance' and are confidently moving towards 2019.” Foal Auction Prinsjesdag will be back next year according to tradition on the third Tuesday of September. The jumping foals will be auctioned on September 17 and the dressage direction will be on September 18.
