Prinsjesdag foal Kayne new future promise for Adelinde

The first half of the National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag in Ermelo has been completed. The dressage foals fetched an average price of no less than 11,000 euros and Kayne (by Governor) was the most expensive foal sold with 38,000 euros. New owners are Gerard Korbeld, the owner of Governor, and dressage rider Adelinde Cornelissen, who has the stallion in training.

Korbeld considers himself lucky with the fantastically moving colt out of the ZZ-light dressage mare Adorijke (Rousseau x Krack C) ridden by L. Bennink from Zevenhuizen. “I came specifically for this foal,” he says. “As the owner of Governor I would of course very much like to buy a separate foal from him and my eye was on these. A foal has to appeal to me immediately and this one did. Beforehand I went to see the breeder. It's nice to see them in peace, although I have to say that this one showed itself fantastic again today."

Adelinde Cornelissen can't wait to have Kayne under the saddle soon. She is very enthusiastic about Governor, the son of Totilas out of the full sister of her topper Jerich Parzival. “Maybe we didn't compete at the top in the Pavo Cup, I think it's one for the highest work”, she enthuses.

The second most expensive foal with 30,000 euros was Kanjer DDH (Glamourdale x De Niro), bought by L. Röst from Stal het Haarbosch. With 28,000 euros, Kagan ter Selle (El Capone x Ferro) was one of the top three most expensive dressage foals sold and he will leave for the Rs2 Dressage Center of Robin van Lierop and Seth Boschman. King of Power SQBS (Fellini x Uphill) has been bought by Nico Witte and Tim Collins for 24,000 euros.

The foal auction continues at 6.45 pm with the jumping foals. For more information, see www.prinsjesdag.eu.
