Collection September auction complete

Our next auction will take place on Tuesday 21 September. Recently, our selectors have been on the road to select the pearls among the foals. And they succeeded! The selection is complete and we are very pleased with how it looks.

Dressage selector Lauw van Vliet: “I have been following the Prinsjesdag auction for years, even before I became a selector, and I dare to say that this is the best selection we have ever had. A fantastic group of foals with a few real outliers. It strikes me that a number of young stallions breed above average, so we were able to select several foals from them.” Van Vliet knows another reason why the average quality is high: “My colleague selector Cas van der Oord is so fanatical, has so many contacts via social media, so knows exactly what is being born and so we are often the first on site to foal to view. That works great!”

Willem van Hoof is responsible for the jumping foals together with Fred van Straaten. Willem: “We once again have a strong collection across the board. Sport in the dam's line is a very important criterion for jumping foals. We have foals with dams and/or grandmothers who have performed highly in the sport and from strains that are full of achievements. Of course it remains important that the model, foundation and movements are correct. In that regard, we have very complete foals.” Van Hoof indicates that he has made a nice mix of proven and young stallions: “Obviously you cannot avoid the Chacco Blues and Cornet Obolenskys, we were able to select very good foals from them. At least as interesting are the young stallions such as Mumbai, O'Neil van het Eigenloo and Uricas van de Kattevennen. We have also seen great foals from those stallions.”

We are eager to present this phenomenal selection to you and hope for just as wonderful a day as the 2020 edition.
