We can look back on a very successful edition of the KWPN Stallion Show in Den Bosch. Foal Auction Prinsjesdag was present with a beautiful stand at the main arena. Customers, breeders, sponsors, employees, old and new acquaintances knew where to find us.

Six 'Prinsjesdag' stallions entered the arena during the stallion selection in recent days. We congratulate breeder Wim de Korte and owner Cor van Heemskerk on the success of their Kintyre. This son of Galaxy Win was selected for the performance test on Saturday!

The stand was pleasantly busy all week. In particular during the Prinsjesdag drinks on Thursday and Friday afternoon. Many people toasted to the coming breeding year while enjoying a glass of bubbly. A tradition that will certainly be continued. The Stallion Show ended with the special Symphonica horse show. A photo with the star of the evening could not be missed.

 

Six colts that came under the hammer at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag in 2015 have now been selected as stallions for the second viewing of the KWPN. One of the most striking jumping stallions of the first viewing turned out to be the Toulon son T.King Toulon WZ (ds.Emilion), bred by Peter van Wegen, from the well-known Lottie/Zottie line. He was sold at the auction to Jonny Roelofsen. From the same lineage, the jumping stallion King Pleasure B (For Pleasure x Nabab de Rave, breeder DP van Beelen) was doing well in Ermelo. He is also allowed to show his jumping qualities again in 's Hertogenbosch and he is owned by MJ Smits from Nederhemert.

Dressage

In the dressage direction, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has an interesting movement talent in the second selection round with Keandro (Jazz x Ferro). This black eye-catcher was bred by HA van Erp and is owned by Rob van Ruitenbeek and M. de Rooij.
Tomorrow at 11 am Kagan ter Selle will appear on the track during the KWPN Stallion Show 2018. This son of El Capone out of a Ferro mother was bred by Nelis from Peer and sold as a foal at the Prinsjesdag auction to Mr and Mrs Röst-de Groot van Stole the Haarbosch. Good luck!
Kadym BM is a striking son of Ferdinand out of a Sorento dam. He was bred by the Mom family and sold at our auction.
Kintyre is a son of Grand Galaxy Win and bred by Wim de Korte. He was sold to Cor Heemskerk and will also exhibit his talent in Den Bosch. Breeders and owners: good luck!

Last year, the 25th edition of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag was the last to be organized by the event agency EQ International. From next year, the organization will be in the hands of Emmy Poppelaars and former EQ International employee Linda Mailly. They will do everything in their power to allow the auction to grow in a familiar manner, together with the board. The new office address of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag BV is Wakkerendijk 178A, 3755 DH Eemnes.

Familiar faces

Two new, but certainly not unfamiliar faces at the front. Until about 10 years ago, Emmy Poppelaars worked for EQ International, among others, and took on the role of project manager for Foal Auction Prinsjesdag with great pleasure. “I enjoyed doing that for about five years, until I moved to Groningen. It was with regret in my heart that I had to say goodbye to the great job for this auction, but I have always followed everything, partly thanks to my father, who is part of the selection committee”, says Emmy, who has been her partner for about three years now. owns company EP Projects & Events. One of the events she is responsible for is the international competition Indoor Drachten, and now Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has been added. “When it became known that EQ International was going to stop, I was approached to work as a project manager for the Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. I didn't have to think about it for a second, I'm very happy that the auction has crossed my path again. And I look forward to working with Linda. In recent years she has mainly focused on the financial part of the auction, but is now also clearly expanding her tasks. Together we will commit ourselves to the auction.”

Continue to build success

With each their own knowledge and expertise, Emmy and Linda are highly motivated to further expand the success of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. “The auction has been on the rise for years and we hope to continue that way. Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has established a great network and a tight auction organization, and we want to continue with the auction in the same way. Because that is clearly a formula that works!”, says Emmy Poppelaars.
