In only their second Inter II game, Denise Nekeman and Boston STH (Johnson x Quattro B) sold at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag today finished fifth in the U25 class at CDI Odense. With a score of 69.167% they showed their enormous potential. Hopefully they keep this shape over the weekend! Foal Auction Prinsjesdag wishes Denise and Boston STH good luck!
Ridden by the Belgian Pieter Clemens, the six-year-old Fliegette (Casall x Libero H) showed great talent at the international competition in the Tops International Arena in Valkenswaard last week. Fliegette was auctioned as a foal at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag and is now owned by Jos Lansink and Munsterhuis.
Every day of the international competition, Fleegette showed herself well and in the final the Casall daughter jumped to ninth place.
The seven-year-old stallion Mr. Europe (Mr. Blue x Cassini I) under Olympic show jumper Marc Houtzager showed a great talent at the beautiful CSI Eindhoven competition. In the final of the Youngster Tour last Saturday, Mr. Europe are class by coming in third. mr. Europe was auctioned as a foal at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag.
Not just mr. Europe jumped at CSI Eindhoven; no fewer than four (!) Prinsjesdag products competed at the Karpendonkse Plas. The Swiss rider Janika Sprunger took her topper Bonne Chance CW (Baloubet du Rouet x Cambridge) to Eindhoven to get back into the rhythm for the outdoor season, Marriët Hoekstra had saddled the nine-year-old Wimphof's Hinde (Berlin x Heartbreaker) for the three-star competition and Joep van der Kampen entered VDL Groep Elexia (Calvaro Z x Alexis Z) in the Youngster Tour.
Under Marc Houtzager, Mr. Europe is a budding Grand Prix show jumper throughout the week. Every day the breeding product of Stoeterij Renken jumped clear and in the final Mr. Europe put his best foot forward and secured the Mr. Blue son third place.
Foal Auction Prinsjesdag congratulates all breeders, owners and riders of these four fantastic horses on their successes!
The Painted Black offspring Binky and Blacktime both performed well last weekend at the CDI3* in Saumur. Both Binky and Blacktime were auctioned in 2006 at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag.
Ridden by the French rider Maeva Hoang, the ten-year-old Blacktime (Painted Black x Goodtimes) took third place in the Inter II with a score of 67 percent. Blacktime's half-brother Binky (Painted Black x Caprimond) once again performed well under the French Alexandra Dilliere. In the Grand Prix Binky finished sixth with 64.70 percent.
ERMELO - The ten-year-old Boston STH (Johnson x Quattro B) received his starting permit for the Grand Prix last weekend under Denise Nekeman. At the Subtop match in Ermelo, Boston scored 68,55% in the Inter II and won the match. Boston STH was auctioned at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag 2006.
“I'm really happy with how he ran! Now the mistakes have to be solved”, was the enthousiasm of Denise Nekeman after her victory with Boston STH. Still plenty of room for progression, so a combination from which we can expect a lot!
In 2005 he came up for auction at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag and in 2016 he is on his way to the absolute world top in show jumping: the eleven-year-old stallion Alicante impressed on all fronts in the Longines Global Champions Tour of Miami Beach last weekend. Under the top Belgian rider Jérôme Guery, Alicante jumped in a fantastic way to seventh and eighth place in the richly decorated five-star 1.55m classes on Miami Beach.
Alicante was born in 2005 at Stoeterij 't Maalwater owned by Ron Nowee and is a son of the famous Casall out of the mare Texas M (Indoctro x Lagos). As a three-year-old Alicante earned his breeding license with the KWPN and was covered by the HBC Stable. After being expertly trained by Marc Houtzager and Julia Kayser, Alicante was sold to the Belgium-based Israeli horse dealer Tal Milstein. He had Alicante ridden by his stable rider Chloé Vranken and then placed him with the Belgian top rider Jérôme Guery. Since then, Alicante has only been going uphill and the fantastic performance at Miami Beach only confirms that. Again a confirmation of the motto of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag: The Power of Performance.
Meanwhile, in Villers, France, Vicomte Breteuil, another Prinsjesdag product showed itself. Nine-year-old Caesar (Lucky Boy x Corland) jumped under the Belgian Frederik Cattebeke to a fine sixth place in the CSI2* 1.45m Grand Prix. Again a promising horse who is at the beginning of his international Grand Prix career and of which we will be hearing a lot more!

Ten-year-old Gigolo III (Cassini II x Chin Chin) was in excellent form last week on the three-star Mediterranean Equestrian Tour in Oliva. Ridden by Switzerland's Rachel Sandoz, Gigolo III jumped to third place in the 1.40m class last Sunday, after finishing fifth on the same height on Thursday.
Gigolo III has a nice blood structure with Cassini II as sire and Chin Chin as maternal sire. Dam Wendy W already produced two international showjumpers and is the full sister of the KWPN-approved Grand Prix showjumping stallion Zélote VDL (Chin Chin x Libero H). Under Rachel Sandoz, Gigolo III is developing very well and has already jumped his first Grand Prix. The strong performance in Oliva bodes well for the summer season!
The Genetic Black (Jazz x Gribaldi), auctioned at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, achieved an impressive third place in the Horsefood Talent Cup 2016 in Berkel-Enschot last weekend. Ridden by Justine Mudde of Magic Stables, the black gelding scored no less than 83.5 points and 85 points for overriding.
Genetic Black is a typical example of a Prinsjesdag product. His pedigree is to dream of with Jazz as father, Gribaldi as maternal sire and then the blood of Ferro. Even more exceptional is the dam line of Genetic Black, because the black gelding is bred out of the full sister of the world famous Painted Black. Genetic Black under Justine Mudde achieved a nice score of 83.5 points in the first round and then received 85 points from guest rider Danielle van Mierlo for running over.
In the four-year-olds Hannelinde (Dreamboy x Sunny Boy) under Aihoa Prada Ortiz made a good impression with 81 points. The VSN winner who will be auctioned soon at the Excellent Dressage Sales finished in sixth place.
DOHA / KRONENBERG - Bonne Chance CW and Wimphof's Hinde once again kept the name of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag high at Grand Prix level last weekend. At the CSI5* show in Doha, the phenomenal chestnut Bonne Chance CW jumped to sixth place under Janika Sprunger, while Wimphof's Hinde and Marriët Hoekstra were third in the national 1.50m Grand Prix at Equestrian Center De Peelbergen.
Bonne Chance CW (Baloubet du Rouet x Cambridge) under Janika Sprunger belongs to the absolute world top after she won many Grand Prix last year, including the CSI5* Grand Prix of Falsterbo. The bronze team medalist of the European Championship in Aachen again showed her enormous qualities in Doha and took sixth place in the Grand Prix. Previously, Bonne Chance CW also finished in sixth place in the 1.50m of Doha.
In the national 1.50m Grand Prix at Equestrian Center De Peelbergen, Wimphof's Hinde (Berlin x Heartbreaker) finished in a handsome third place. The topper of Marriët Hoekstra has already shown enormous potential for the highest work in recent months and impressed with her debut in the CSI3* Grand Prix of Indoor Drachten. The third place at De Peelbergen is another nice confirmation of the potential of the breeding product of Haras de la Vie.
AMSTERDAM - Two horses auctioned at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, both born in 2005, jumped fantastic last weekend in the tough classes of Jumping Amsterdam. Arc de Triomphe showed his enormous abilities under Frank Schuttert, while Alicante showed enormous potential with Jérôme Guery.
After a strong performance in the 1.45m on Friday evening, Frank Schuttert chose to start the Arc de Triomphe (Triomphe de Muze x Calvados) bred by the Van Straaten family in the CSI4* Grand Prix of Amsterdam. For the highly successful Arc de Triomphe, this was his first appearance in a four-star Grand Prix. The son of Triomphe de Muze showed his enormous scope and quality, but now got two more minor faults. We will be hearing a lot more from Frank Schuttert and Arc de Triomphe this year!
Under the Belgian top rider Jérôme Guery, Alicante (Casall x Indoctro) – bred by Stoeterij 't Maalwater – also made an excellent impression in the RAI. Besides excellent performances in the 1.40m on Friday and the 1.45m on Sunday, Alicante impressed in the 1.50m on Saturday evening. Alicante showed enormous potential in the prestigious 1.50m YACHT Prize in front of sold-out stands. The brand new combination then got one more jumping fault, but Jérôme Guery and Alicante left a promising impression!
