Free coverages have fallen into good hands
This year the 25th edition of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag will take place and in that context there are various anniversary promotions. One of these was the raffle of two free matings last February. Breeders Yvonne Termeer and Ed Schroembges were the lucky ones and they chose the promising Just Wimphof (by De Niro) and champion stallion Jardonnay VDL (by Kannan) as partners for their mares.
During the KWPN stallion selection in Den Bosch at the beginning of February, every breeder who registered his or her (unborn) foal for the Prinsjesdag selection had a chance to win one of the two free matings. Although Foal Auction Prinsjesdag mainly accepts foals from proven sires in its collection, the board certainly supports the use of young, talented stallions from performance strains. That is why it was decided to auction the breeding of promising stallions that would be approved by the KWPN this spring.
Promising
The choice of winner Yvonne Termeer from Kapel-Avezaath fell on the dressage stallion Just Wimphof from stallion owner Joop van Uytert† This high-quality De Niro son is registered with the KWPN with a top score of 86 points and can count on a lot of interest from the breeders. The breeding in the jumping direction was won by breeder Ed Schroembges from Wellerlooi in Limburg. He has chosen to use the much-discussed Jardonnay VDL for his breeding. This good jumping Kannan son of the VDL Stud was proclaimed stallion selection champion in Den Bosch and subsequently collected 84 points in the performance test. A nice detail is that a foal from both Yvonne Termeer and Ed Schroembges has actually been selected for the 25th edition of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag on 19 and 20 September 2017. This may also apply next year for the foals that result from the matings made available by Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. will come.
