Egbert Schep: 'Several successful purchases at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag'

Not a year goes by without showjumping horse dealer and breeder Egbert Schep from Tull en 't Waal investing at the National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. “Prinsjesdag stands for high-quality foals with interesting pedigrees and dam lines that produce good sport horses. That's what it's all about and that's why they are so expensive there, so that's a disadvantage," he laughs.

“Buying foals is fun, but to ultimately earn a living with them is still quite difficult. In my case I have to be able to buy them in line with the market and so I have to be careful what I do. If I'm really fond of a foal and I know the dam's line well, I'll pay up to around €17,000 in the hope that it will work out well in the future. Fortunately, this has already happened several times.”

At Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, Egbert Schep already discovered several approved stallions, such as Alicante HBC (Casall x Indoctro, breeder R. Nowee from Oude Niedorp) being the oldest. The gray stallion competes internationally at 1.45/1.50m level and in January took part in CSI5* Basel with Jérome Guery.

Last year, Schep received two KWPN-approved stallions, including the very promising Hernandez TN (Kannan x Numero Uno, breeder Willem Dekker from Benningbroek, photo) which is now owned by Team Nijhof. The other is Highlander (Numero Uno x Lupicor, breeder MAM Lamers-Couwenberg from Heide), whom Schep still has together with Jos Althuyzen.

Who knows what we will hear about the four purchases in 2015. Egbert Schep then bought Kentucky L (Ferdeaux x Goodtimes), Lisbon (London x Clinton), Quitane (Quickly de Kreisler x Numero Uno) and Tocar (Toulon x Contender).

National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag possible in two days

27 January 2016/in Dressage, News, To jump, Auctions/by bonsai

National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag

In order to serve the buyer and seller even better, the board of the National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag is considering an auction on two days. The intention is to sell the jumping foals on Tuesday 13 September and the dressage foals a day later, on Wednesday.

The new setup would take a lot of pressure off the schedule, allowing more time and tranquility for the foal delivery and the increasingly important veterinary assessment. Arjan van der Waaij, chairman of the NVP, sees many advantages in the spread over two days. “The fact is that on Budget Day we fight against the clock from early in the morning until late at night. The time between the dressage auction in the afternoon and the jumping auction in the evening is very short, so that the visitor has little time to view the jumping foals outside during the presentation. If we auction in two days, we may also admit a few extra foals, provided they meet the high selection criteria, of course," he says.

The intention is that the foals will be presented to the buying public in the middle of the afternoon on both days, after which the auction will start at the end of the afternoon. “The disadvantage is that people who are interested in the jumping and dressage foals have to come to Ermelo for two days, but we think this is a relatively small group. It is a choice, but clear choices have enabled us to grow enormously in recent years. This is also a clear signal for breeders: for both dressage and jumping foals, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag offers a fully-fledged platform where top quality is offered to an international audience," says Van der Waaij.

The National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag is very curious about the opinion of entrants and customers and the team would like to hear the reactions at the stand of NVP during the KWPN stallion selection.

January 26, 2016/in Background, Competitions, Dressage, News, Auctions/by bonsai

Pablo
WELLINGTON - A dream has come true for fourteen-year-old Canadian rider Ava MacCoubrey now that she has started in Wellington with Pablo. With the now nineteen-year-old Pablo, Ava MacCoubrey started in the international dressage junior classes and grabbed a victory and a second place.

Pablo (Cordial Medoc x Voltaire), who was sold at the Foal Auction Prinsjesdag in 1997, made a dream come true for the fourteen-year-old Ava MacCoubrey. Thanks to the proceeds from a fundraising, the Canadian was able to start in Wellington. Ava MacCoubrey does not come from a horse family, but her parents do everything they can to give her opportunities in dressage. “I have three jobs to pay for her horseback riding,” Ava's mother says. “But I like to do that!”

Pablo and Ava MacCoubrey's 2016 goal is to represent the Ontario junior team in Kentucky this July. With scores of 65.72 percent and 65.55 percent respectively and a win and second place in Wellington, Ava and Pablo seem on the right track!
