The National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag is very proud that it can count on
the trust of so many top breeders. The best breeders from home and abroad
investing abroad in top stallions for their very best broodmares and the
they then hand over products of so much care and skill to the
Prince's Day Auction. Thanks to this trust, Tuesday 20 September will come
an elite collection of unprecedented quality for sale at the KNHS. Selectors Bert Poppelaars, Fred van Straaten and Peter Bleeker, for example, were offered a magnificent foal out of the top mare Astrid Sollenburg (OO Seven x Metall). In the EPTM test, Astrid Sollenburg scored nines for trot, canter,
posture & balance and disposition. At the age of six, Astrid Sollenburg is already
very successful in the ZZ-Licht. Her son Goldwyn Sollenburg descends from
Bretton Woods, who was recently sold for a fortune to Paul Schockemöhle
and Ann Kathrin Linsenhoff. Goldwyn Sollenburg moves with a lot of looseness,
balance and attitude.
Twice Apache x Rhodium
The selection committee has been enabled by the breeders to breed two extremely good fillies
presenting both of which come from a fantastic lineage and both of which are Apache as
father and Rhodium as mother's father. A top combination, as shown by the
special quality of Giwemmie W (from the northern movement tribe of
Arnoldo Thor) and Gentle Irene (from the Gelderland movement strain of the national
champion Norene and the dressage crack Artist).
Weather Putin
From France comes another very interestingly bred son from the clone of
Putin. This Danemark de Hus has the Hanoverian dressage stamper Dancier
as a father. Danemark is a very well developed colt with a
long-lined and bloody sporty body with a lot of flexibility and technique in
movement.
De Niro
Also very interesting is the moving with a lot of power, space and expression
Donnatelli. Sire De Niro supplies Grand Prix horses on the assembly line, the
dam line with Florencio, Quattro and Ulft makes Donnatelli only
more interesting for stallion breeding.
All Grand Prix
Breeders of the Year Jacqueline van Anholt and Frank van de Valk together offer
with the Animal Embryo Center Diergaerderhof the movement artist Genetic
Black on. Rarely has a foal been seen moving like this. The powerhouse is therefore
son of world progenitor Jazz and of a full sister of Painted Black. one and all
Grand Prix genes on both sides of the pedigree!
Wynton x Caprimond
Also of extreme quality is the Wynton son Gaudi, bred from the Lichte
Tour mare Maronia elite. The Trakehner grandfather Caprimond performed himself in
the Grand Prix. Grandmother Saronia was champion of the keur mares on the UTV
and stood at the basis of the Grand Prix horse Pavarotti (s.Ferro). Gaudi move
his formidable dressage genes are transformed into dream movements.
