A team of specialists who provide all disciplines under one roof can be found at Horse Clinic Wolvega. With the expansion of their sports medical center in 2019, they not only offer the best healthcare for your horse, but also sport horse guidance. We are therefore very proud that we have been able to call them sponsors of our foal auction for years.
The Wolvega team consists of a nice mix of doctors with years of experience and the new generation of doctors who know everything in the field of innovative care! There are continuous developments within the medical horse industry. This includes advanced diagnostic techniques such as ultrasound, MRI and CT scans. But also the regenerative medicine that is used. The horse industry is at the forefront when it comes to stem cell therapy and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatments. These natural healing processes ensure that horses can recover faster and return to their performance level.
Doctor and internist Marco de Bruijn is closely involved in our auctions. He himself was a supervisor at the foal brigade for 4 years and has now started his own breeding farm! Marco checks our foals every year on both photo day and prior to the auction.

For years we have been able to build a sustainable partnership with Hippo Horse Insurance, a proud partner of our foal auction! They are not only our partner, but also take care of the insurance of the foals from the photo and video day until delivery to the buyer. Of course, there is also the option to continue the insurance of your foal, because Hippo is active in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
In addition to the wide range of horse insurance, it is especially nice for customers that every employee within Hippo has a background or is still active in the Equestrian sector. Both at the office and on the road, Hippo Horse Insurance employees can always talk to you about everything in and around the horse.
The knowledge and passion of the employees ensures that the Hippo Horse Insurance team can respond quickly and they immediately understand where the needs lie. Curious about what they can do for you? Then take a look at their website: https://hippohorseinsurance.nl

Havens Voerders has been a household name in the region since 1846. After the Second World War, Havens expanded its range to include horse feed. A logical choice given that more and more agricultural horses were used for sport and recreation. The demand for honest and high-quality horse feed continued to grow and their range is now available in more than 50 countries worldwide!
The welfare of the horses is of paramount importance to Havens. For example, they only use natural raw materials, which is not only good for well-being, but also for the ecological footprint they leave on this world. While much horse feed is focused on a formula to optimize production or performance, Havens opts for the health of the horses, which ultimately benefits performance.
This fits in nicely with our wishes for the foals and we are very proud that Havens has been associated with our foal auction for years thanks to Bart Minten and his close contacts within our board. Curious about their products? HAVENS is present during our auctions and provides goodie bags for the breeders! Read more about Havens via: https://www.paardenvoeders.nl
Finances: no one's favorite activity. It is quite a challenge to do this well, especially in the equestrian sector. Just think of the exceptions in the field of VAT percentages. Felix Hippisch provides clarity here for every horse owner as an expert in the tax field. Did you know, for example, that thanks to their efforts, the VAT margin scheme can now be applied to a foal?
Felix is not only the proud sponsor of our foal auction, but has also been assisting us legally for years. At our auctions they support foreign buyers with the transactions and associated taxes. As a Dutch horse owner, you can of course also contact them for all your legal and financial issues.
Exclusivity and quality are of paramount importance to Felix, but it is especially the passion and affinity with the horse industry that shine through when you talk to one of the employees of this family business. For example, owner Jos Felix bought Nadira Esther (by Vitalis) at our foal auction 4 years ago. Daughter Annelotte Felix scored 80 points at the past KWPN championships in Ermelo with this beautiful 5-year-old mare and also works in the marketing department at Felix.
