First Foal Auction Prinsjesdag during National Jumping Championships a great success!
On a sun-drenched CH Deurne, the very first Foal Auction Prinsjesdag took place this afternoon during the NK Jumping. The public stood rows thick along the forest track, and bid enthusiastically. Bringing together sport and breeding was the goal, and that goal has been more than achieved.
The first foal, Apart van 't Gebergte (by Aganix du Seigneur) from the direct dam line of Emerald van 'r Ruytershof immediately became the auction topper. The highest bid fell after a tough bidding duel at 32,000 euros. The filly Mylady K van Kattenheye Z (by Mylord Carthago) was sold for 20,000 euros. The half-sister of Mandato van de Neerheide seems to have a future in the Netherlands.
Average 15,000 euros
The ten foals were sold for an average of almost 15,000 euros. Many of the customers were at the ring in Deurne and the filly Arcotiqkey Z (by Aganix du Seigneur) was sold for 12,000 euros to a French buyer. In total, eight of the ten foals were sold, which results in a sales percentage of 80%.
Good cooperation
Not only the organization of Veulenveiling Prinsjesdag looks back with great satisfaction on this very first edition during the NK Jumping. The chairman of CH Deurne, Dirk van Santvoort, also enjoyed the collaboration. “The auction was a very nice addition to the program. For the public it was a nice change between the two rounds of the senior championship, it created a stir and a good atmosphere.”
