The countdown has begun!

/in , /by

Tuesday evening as. you can become the proud owner of one or more embryos that have been selected for you with care and attention. We can rightly speak of a special collection. You can bid on the embryos from 8 pm tonight. The auction closes Tuesday evening from 8 p.m. Good to know, we don't want you to miss out on your future topper!

In addition to the 15 embryos, you also have the opportunity to buy two straws of frozen semen from foundation sires Donnerhall and Florestan I. These heroes have more than earned their spurs in the dressage world. Stallions that never go out of style and that many dressage enthusiasts would like to have a foal from next year!

Dressage collection

The selectors have succeeded in selecting the crème de la crème of embryos for you. An Indian Rock embryo out of the fantastic dam Endy O. We were also able to select several embryos from proven stallion dams, namely the dams of Ladignac, Ferdinand, High Five US and the full sister of Charmeur. Very exceptional! We were also able to obtain a Desperados FRH embryo with the perfect dressage blood build-up from Ferro x Rubinstein I x Donnerhall for our collection.

To jump

For the jumping enthusiast, the selection committee has been able to select a number of very interesting embryos from the best dam lines of the moment. We have embryos from the Roosakker and Querly Chin family and from the Valentina van 't Heike line in our collection. You can have these in your possession this Tuesday evening! Embryos by For Pleasure and Emerald respectively from the sisters of G & C Arrayan and CiCi Senjor Ask are up for auction. From Spruce Meadows winner Candy you have the opportunity to purchase a granddaughter or grandson whose sire is none other than Chacco Blue.

wild card

In the last week before the start of the auction, we were able to add one more embryo to the collection. The great talent Asgard's Ibiza is responsible for the fatherhood of this embryo. The Desperado son makes a big impression with his offspring and recently made his debut at Small Tour level. The dam of this embryo is the famous stallion dam Vurona (v. Negro x Vincent). Her sons High Five US (by Charmeur) and Blue Hors First Choice (by Jazz) make a good impression for Vurona. Blue Hors First Choice acts in addition to his breeding service at PSG/Inter I level. Four mares from Vurona compete at Z2 and ZZ Licht dressage. In addition to her breeding career, Vurona ran dressage at Z2 level, just like several of her brothers and sisters. Her half-brother Axel (by Sandreo) even made it to Grand Prix level.

A very interesting family, of which this embryo just might become the next success story!

Exclusive embryo auction January 25, 2022

/in /by

We are proud to present the 14 selected embryos that will be auctioned online. Selected from Europe's best dam lines combined with proven and promising stallions. The selectors once again honor our slogan “The Power of Performance”.

Dressage embryos

Cas van der Oord and Lauw van Vliet, responsible for the dressage embryos, have put together a beautiful collection for you. Cas: “We succeeded in selecting something exclusive. In any case, it is great that we were able to obtain two Indian Rocks. This stallion breaks through with Emmelie Witte-Scholtens and his offspring look very promising. The fact that the embryos come from the mares O. Bertje and Endy O. is the icing on the cake!”

The latter Endy O. is a daughter of Lord Leatherdale and competed at ZZ-Licht level. Endy O. is a daughter of Zendy who was successful at PSG / Inter I level and is therefore one of the many top dressage horses from this line. The other Indian Rock embryo comes out of the famous mare O. Bertje (Contango x Amor). Offspring from this mare are very popular, because everything from the mare seems to be able to exercise. Besides several PSG / Inter I and ZZ-Licht horses, she is the dam of two GP horses, Tango (approved KWPN stallion) and Bonzanjo.

stallion mothers

Upcoming talent Total McLaren has an embryo in the auction in combination with Helianthe (Apache x Democraat). “Helianthe is the dam of the KWPN stallion Ladignac, who is doing very well in the sport. Last year, Total McLaren was elected stallion with the most promising offspring in Denmark. We think that in combination with this mare, that can become something very special!” said Van der Oord.

Another stallion dam is Sabine (Havidoff x Wolfgang). In combination with Vivaldi she produced the PSG / Inter I stallion Ferdinand. She also gave three other horses that act at the same level. “The embryo of her descends on her father's side from Glamourdale, who is running very successfully at Grand Prix with Charlotte Fry and seems to be doing very well in terms of inheritance. A very interesting embryo!”

Desperados FRH and Damon Hill

Donnerhall's dressage prowess comes through his grandson Desperados FRH and son Damon Hill. Cas: “Grand Prix stallion Damon Hill is already a somewhat older stallion who, unfortunately, we don't see very often anymore. Here it is used on the half-sister of another Grand Prix stallion, Charmeur from the aforementioned Endy line. A great opportunity to acquire something special!”

An embryo from Desperados FRH, who has been a fixture in the German team for many years, will be up for auction in combination with the Z2 dressage mare Wildfire Ferra (Ferro x Rubinstein I). Van der Oord: “This mare has no fewer than two sisters who perform at GP level. The combination of Donnerhall, Ferro and Rubinstein will make every dressage enthusiast's mouth water. A very attractive embryo!”

For the enthusiast who really can't get enough of Donnerhall, there is a unique opportunity. A straw of frozen semen will be auctioned from this old master! In addition, a straw from Florestan I is offered. Just like Donnerhall, a stallion that never goes out of style. Both straws are free to use for ICSI.

Spring embryos

Willem van Hoof and Fred van Straaten, this time with the help of Bob Janssens, managed to collect a very special group of jumping embryos for this auction. With embryos closely related to absolute top mares such as Valentina van 't Heike, Babbe van 't Roosakker, Narcotique de Muze II and Candy, the selectors are very pleased.

Valentina van 't Heike

No fewer than two embryos are closely related to Valentina van 't Heike, the top mare of the brand new national team coach Jos Lansink. Willem van Hoof: “Both embryos come from Numero Uno mares. One of which, Kissable van 't Heike, has been active at 1.40 level and is a half sister of Valentina through her mother. The list of other siblings who jump at a high level is endless. On the father's side, the embryo descends from Glock's London, which is very interesting given his performance and pedigree.” The other embryo from this line comes from a Numero Uno x Darco which goes back to Valentina's mother. “The Darco mare jumped 1.50m and is the dam of toppers such as Fair Light van 't Heike and Evian van 't Heike. Jumping genes galore!” said William.

G&C Arrayan 

If For Pleasure x Mr. Blue x Grannus isn't enough to make your mouth water, then it will when we tell you that the Mr. Blue mare (Justine W) is a half sister of the fantastic G & C Arrayan, who is very successful at the highest level. Justine W. now runs 1.35 internationally and seems to be just as talented as her brother. Willem: “Arrayan has proven to be able to perform at the highest level for a long time, that is quality that you really like to see in a mare line. For Pleasure also had the same quality, which makes this embryo very attractive.”

Van 't Roosakker

The selectors have succeeded in selecting no less than two Roosakker scions for you. The embryos of Chacco Blue and Baloubet du Rouet both come from Korona van 't Hoogeinde (Echo van 't Spieveld x Darco x Kannan). Her mother, Geena van 't Roosakker, successfully ran 1.55 and her grandmother is none other than Babbe van 't Roosakker, who was active at 1.60 level. Behind it we see foundation dam Usha van 't Roosakker who is at the basis of all the jumping power from this renowned family (Erco van 't Roosakker, Cella, Emperio van 't Roosakker, Equador van 't Roosakker, George Z, etc.). “This strain needs no introduction, it's unprecedented what talent comes to the surface. That is no coincidence!” said Van Hoof.

Another Chacco Blue embryo will be auctioned in the auction. “This embryo comes from Indiana van HD (Toulon x Nabab de Reve), her dam is the very famous mare Candy. She jumped with Pieter Devos at the highest level. Indiana, successful at 1.45 level, is the dam of Maxwell van HD, who was classified 1.50 at the age of ten,” says van Hoof. Many more top horses come from this line, such as Grand Canyon van HD, Handy van HD and Important de Muze.

Emerald van 't Ruytershof

The now retired giant Emerald van 't Ruytershof can now be found at the top of the rankings as a sire. Our selectors were able to select two unique embryos from him from very interesting mares. “The first embryo comes from the mare G-condita VDH. The grandmother of this embryo produced the 1.60m jumping Ci Ci Senjor ASK, who competed at the highest level under Soren and Karen Möller.”

Emerald's other embryo comes from one of the most famous strains in the world, the Qerly Chin strain. The dam is Baraka de Muze (Goethe x Darco), she is also the dam of Sterrehof's Ushi (successful with the entire Houtzager family at the highest level). Baraka is a daughter of Narcotique de Muze II and that makes her a half sister of Querlybet Hero, Loro Piana Boyante de Muze, Farfelu de la Pomme, Sea Coast Ferly and Giovani de la Pomme. The list with 1.60 descendants from this family is exceptional and that makes this embryo very popular.

Farewell Linda Mailly

/in /by

For no less than 10 auctions, Linda Mailly worked for and behind the scenes for our annual event and in recent years the point of contact for buyers and sellers. During her first auction in 2012 (heavily pregnant with Lara, who would be born just a few weeks later), she worked as an employee of EQ International. Linda: “At that time I was actually already on maternity leave, but EQ asked me to take care of the finances for the auction evening. From 2018, the auction was organized by the foundation and my role became greater.” The work is spread over the year with several auctions, but for Linda the auction evenings during the hybrid auctions in September were the highlight: "When the auction runs smoothly, buyer and seller are satisfied, that is the reward for the work."

When asked about the reason for stopping after so many happy years, Linda indicates that she wants to free up more time for her family: "Summer is the busiest period with the auction ahead and I noticed that it was sometimes difficult for me to combine with my family. The auction needs someone who always goes for the best, in service and organization, I have always done my best for that and it should remain that way.”
On behalf of everyone associated with the auction, we would like to thank Linda for her tireless efforts and good work over the past few years. We will miss you!
Annemijn Gaalman is already known to the buyers and sellers and will remain the contact person for this. She is happy to assist you and can be reached on 035-2053035 or via info@prinsjesdag.eu.

Glamor Girl

/in /by

Just like last year, the page is decorated by one of our references in Christmas atmospheres.
This year we chose Glamor Girl who, together with top rider Henrik von Eckermann, achieved some beautiful victories. At the beginning of this year they won a 1.55m class in Dinard, followed by a very spectacular 1.50m in Rome during the GCT. Glamor Girl can also compete at the highest level, at the end of November she won the 4* GP in Stockholm.

Von Eckermann: “I've been driving her for a year and a half now and we brought her in with the idea that she can act at the highest level. We want to take her slowly, step by step, to that level. She is unbelievably fast but her greatest quality is her fighting spirit, which is extraordinary.” The 10-year-old mare is not the easiest, Hendrik: “She has her instructions for use. If she is calm and everything around her is calm, there is nothing to worry about. But when she gets excited she sometimes wants to run, when you sit on her you don't really have the idea that she can be stopped!"

Glamor Girl was bred by Stoeterij Gaesbeek in Ruinen. She combined the 1.60m jumping Zirocco Blue VDL with the mare Moonlight II ridden by Caletto I. A mare who already produced several fine showjumpers such as the 1.60m jumping Duke and the 1.40m horse Miss Marome. Fred van Straaten selected Glamor Girl for the auction at the time: “It was not a very striking foal, but she was well put together and correctly built. What I can remember well was her ability to shift gears and she was already incredibly fast back then.”

We are curious what successes we can expect from Glamor Girl, the future looks bright. Henrik and the team of the Cyor Stables thank you for your cooperation in putting this fantastic mare in the spotlight as a reference.

NVK champion Rosatrichta van de Westen for 44,000 euros auction topper 29e edition Foal Auction Prinsjesdag

With a turnover of more than one million euros and an auction topper for 44,000 euros, the 29e edition of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag as successful
know in. The champion of the KWPN National Foal Inspection Rosatrichta van de Westen was also popular at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag and remains in Dutch hands for 44,000 euros. Among the jumping foals it was Ceasaria Key SR Z (Chacco Blue x Bentley van de Heffinck) who brought in the most money with 36,000 euros and left for France.

Dressage toppers stay in the Netherlands

The dressage collection had several highlights this year; In addition to the Le Formidable daughter Rosatrichta van de Westen, bred by C. Kikkert from Den Burg (Texel), who sold for 44,000 euros, Roluciënne STMT (Bordeaux x Ampère) and Rainman Texel (Glock's Toto Jr x Negro) both exchanged for 30,000 euros owner. More than 20,000 euros was also paid for promising foals such as Royal Class (Franklin x Gribaldi) and Rain Beau (So Perfect x Krack C). The more expensive dressage foals mainly stayed in the Netherlands, while the jumping foals mostly left for abroad.

Breeding success for the family Keys

Ceasaria Key SR Z (Chacco Blue x Bentley van de Heffinck), a filly from the famous Usha van 't Roosakker line, was one of the successful breeding products of the Keys van Keystud family from Roggel. This Chacco Blue daughter is leaving for France for 36,000 euros. The second most expensive foal also comes from the breeding of the Sleutels family; Dominatrix Key SR Z (Dominator Z x ET Cryoozootech), a filly from the lineage of Qerly Chin, will stay in the Netherlands for 32,000 euros. A British buyer won the very striking colt Cognac van 't Gebergte Z (Chacco Blue x Diamant de Semilly), a grandson of Niels Bruynseels' Ilusionata van 't Meulenhof, for 30,000 euros. Furthermore, Conthargos daughter Cavalluna STS Z goes to Belgium for 26,000 euros and a third key breeding product yielded 24,000 euros, namely the striking Grandorado TN son Glory Key SR Z, who is leaving for Germany.

'Live auction gives extra charm'

The average price of the dressage foals was 13,000 euros, while the jumping foals fetched almost 14,500 euros. The final average was 13,600 euros. A painting by artist Jan Peeters was sold for 5000 euros for the Ambulance Wish Foundation. “With such an average price and a sales percentage of more than 90 percent, we are proud to be back as an auction”, says Prinsjesdag chairman Arjan van der Waaij. “We enjoyed this 29e edition and it was nice to be able to organize a live auction again. Guests in the hall and a nice ambiance give an auction such as Foal Auction Prinsjesdag extra charm; this provides additional motivation for the future”, Van der Waaij looks back and ahead.

Collection September auction complete

/in , , , /by

Our next auction will take place on Tuesday 21 September. Recently, our selectors have been on the road to select the pearls among the foals. And they succeeded! The selection is complete and we are very pleased with how it looks.

Dressage selector Lauw van Vliet: “I have been following the Prinsjesdag auction for years, even before I became a selector, and I dare to say that this is the best selection we have ever had. A fantastic group of foals with a few real outliers. It strikes me that a number of young stallions breed above average, so we were able to select several foals from them.” Van Vliet knows another reason why the average quality is high: “My colleague selector Cas van der Oord is so fanatical, has so many contacts via social media, so knows exactly what is being born and so we are often the first on site to foal to view. That works great!”

Willem van Hoof is responsible for the jumping foals together with Fred van Straaten. Willem: “We once again have a strong collection across the board. Sport in the dam's line is a very important criterion for jumping foals. We have foals with dams and/or grandmothers who have performed highly in the sport and from strains that are full of achievements. Of course it remains important that the model, foundation and movements are correct. In that regard, we have very complete foals.” Van Hoof indicates that he has made a nice mix of proven and young stallions: “Obviously you cannot avoid the Chacco Blues and Cornet Obolenskys, we were able to select very good foals from them. At least as interesting are the young stallions such as Mumbai, O'Neil van het Eigenloo and Uricas van de Kattevennen. We have also seen great foals from those stallions.”

We are eager to present this phenomenal selection to you and hope for just as wonderful a day as the 2020 edition.

Also curious about our collection

Please be patient! Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 August, photo video days at MVM Horses, De Steeg

Auction Tuesday 21 September, Ermelo

 

Collection Early Foal Auction Prinsjesdag full of exceptional genetics & talent!

/in /by

This year our selectors went out early in the year to select foals for our “early foal auction May 18”. With great enthusiasm about the quality they were offered, they were able to select no fewer than 12 dressage and 10 jumping foals. Interestingly, these foals descend from both older proven stallions and young upcoming stars.

Grand Prix fathers

“We are very enthusiastic about what we have been offered along the way, it was a joy to be able to select such foals,” said dressage selector Lauw van Vliet. One descendant of the fantastic Totilas was selected from a dam of Charmeur who is the sister of several top dressage horses. Recently, Glamourdale under Charlotte Fry scored highly in Hagen and won the Grand Prix there. The selectors were therefore very pleased that they could select a Glamourdale for the auction. This strikingly moving River Woods comes out of an Apache x Johnson mare.

Young talents

Jameson RS2 and Johnny Depp, both very successful in the young horse trials, both deliver one foal. Lauw van Vliet: “We have a very interesting colt by Johnny Depp who moves exceptionally and has a lot of looseness, from the line of Patser, among others. Just like the foal of Just Wimphof, the Jameson comes from the successful breeding of the van Oort family. Those are strains in which sport is anchored and you can see that in these foals!” Out of the mare Ginoeska, who finished high in the Pavo Cup, a foal by So Perfect is being auctioned and out of the well-known Obertje line a colt by Fontaine TN. The Charmeur daughter Gudith W, who has no less than two brothers at GP level, produces a beautiful colt in combination with For Ferrero. A beautiful colt from Glock's Taminiau is being auctioned.

First year

“We have selected a colt from the first crop of FS Bloomberg with a really beautiful model, he comes from a daughter of the famous GP horse Reine B. The son of Fynch Hatton is not inferior to him in terms of model, also a very interesting foal.” The dressage collection is concluded with a daughter of First Date, from the well-known Nola line. A beautiful and very interesting foal, her stock is full of sport and that in combination with her appearance should be a guarantee for success!

Jumping foals

Among the jumping foals, a large number of foals descend from GP stallions, as befits Prinsjesdag, paired with mares from top lineages. Comme Il Faut supplies two, one from the strain of Hernandez TN and the other from the strain of Greenday, the new topper of Aniek Diks. Emerald creates a spectacle with the colt Versace van 't Zaveleinde, his grandmother is the full sister of none other than Corofino I. One of the most sought-after stallions of the moment, Dominator Z is the sire of a colt from a mare line full of sport. Quabri de L'isle delivers a colt out of a dam of Lupicor who herself competed at 1.40 level. The dam of Randolero SH (Carrera VDL) also jumped at 1.40 level.

fillies

Roselitha and Esperanza Z are very interesting for those looking for a mare foal to build up their own tribe. Roselitha's sire is Chaqui Z, who gave Ireland success for many years under Shane Sweetnam and her dam comes from the well-known Bryolieta line. Esperanza Z is a daughter of Escape Z. Under Harrie Smolders he could just be the successor of his sire Emerald. Esperanza's dam comes from the fantastic Zottie line.

Dourkhan Hero Z

The promising Dourkhan Hero Z is the sire of Rapido van Seldsum. His mother is the half sister of Roelofsen Horsetrucks Eldorado, the 1.60 horse of Jeroen Dubbeldam. Selector Fred van Straaten: “We first look at the mare lines, did the mother compete in sport? From the mother we look further at the grandmother and great-grandmother. The structure of the pedigree is very important. We would rather not see a stallion who has never achieved anything. These foals all have a fantastic pedigree and are well put together. We think it is a really special collection!”

New collaboration between MVM Horses and Foal Auction Prinsjesdag

/in /by

On Saturday May 1, the photo and video day for the (online) auction of May 18, 2021 took place. These recordings took place at the beautiful location of MvM Horses in De Steeg. MvM Horses is run by Matthijs and Sandra van Middelkoop. In their beautiful stable they prepare horses for inspection and are saddle-broken. In addition, there are some top stallions at stud, such as Qupido H (the new star of Niels Bruynseels) and Ultimo van ter Moude (BWP ambassador and 1.60 horse supplier).

Matthijs learned the tricks of the trade from Aris van Manen, his wife Sandra comes from the well-known “Jurius family” of Stal Nieuwmoed in Vorden. It is therefore not surprising that the couple had the ambition to start their own stable. That dream has now become reality and they run their own company next to Stal de Havikerwaard. Matthijs: “Thanks to Mr. Van de Kamp, we have been able to work at this location. We are very happy with that, we have all the facilities that a professional stable needs. In addition, it is not just about the outside, hard work and a good eye for horses are just as important in this profession.”

Van Middelkoop offers a great service especially for Foal Auction Prinsjesdag: “Since the photo and video days will take place on our site this year, breeders with a selected foal can come to us to prepare the foal. Think of shaving, washing and braiding.” A great service, which we as a foal auction are very happy with!

Jumping and dressage embryos in high demand at Embryoveiling Prinsjesdag

Jumping and dressage embryos in high demand at Embryoveiling Prinsjesdag

The first embryo auction of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag in 2021 will go down in the books as a success; both the jumping and dressage embryos were sold quickly for attractive prices. Of the sixteen embryos offered, 75 percent were sold to a total of seven different countries. The Chacco Blue embryo from the Van 't Roosakker line in the Netherlands remains for 18,000 euros, just like the Gribaldi embryo from O.Bertje for 17,000 euros.

Once again international interest in the interesting collection of embryos from Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. The auction year has been successfully kicked off with this first edition of 2021. “A good start with a lot of enthusiasm from various bidders, both at home and abroad. We are also very satisfied with the sale of the various dressage embryos. It appears once again that interesting dam lines combined with good stallions are popular in both the jumping and dressage markets,” said chairman Arjan van der Waaij. “That is why we are once again pleased with the confidence of the entrants, who have helped to make this strong collection possible.

Not only the jumping embryos, but also the six dressage embryos were sold well in this online edition. The exclusive Gribaldi embryo out of the top mare O.Bertje stays in the Netherlands for 17,000 euros; O.Bertje is the dam of Grand Prix stallion Tango, Grand Prix horse Bonzanjo and the NMK champions Zhara-Obertje and D.Obertje.

The Lord Europe embryo from O.Bertje was also well received and is going to Great Britain for 12,000 euros. The embryo of multi-champion Valverde out of the NMK champion Heliana VOD – the half-sister of Kjento and Mowgli VOD – goes to the same investor from Great Britain.

The Chacco Blue embryo from the Bentley van 't Heffinck daughter Grand Cru van 't Hagenhof remains in the Netherlands for 18,000 euros and is therefore the topper of this first embryo auction of 2021. Grand Cru van 't Hagenhof is a daughter of Babbe van ' t Roosakker – the famous Grand Prix jumping mare bred directly out of Usha van 't Roosakker. The Chacco Blue embryo out of the Numero Uno daughter Lollypop van 't Heike – from the line of Valentina & Fairlight van 't Heike – was also in demand and is going to Belgium for 14,000 euros. Two embryos were also sold to Hungary and further to Poland, the United States and Spain.

Foal Auction Prinsjesdag starts season with embryo auction

/in , , , /by


Start of 2021

In the current, uncertain times, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag likes to think in solutions and possibilities to serve both the breeders and the regular customer base. Foal Auction Prinsjesdag will therefore be auctioning online again this year in addition to a hybrid auction. Besides an online auction on March 2nd for interesting embryos, there will be an early foal auction on May 18th. In addition, Prinsjesdag will be present during the beautiful competition of the Schuttert family in Ommen on 10 July. Finally, the hybrid auction is scheduled for 14 and 15 September. You can now register your breeding product for both the early foal and embryo auctions!

Auction of pregnancy

The first online auction is scheduled for Tuesday 2 March. In this auction some genetically very interesting dressage and jumping embryos and pregnancies will be sold. Selector Fred van Straaten, together with Willem van Hoof responsible for the jumping foals: “We will be selling pregnancies for the first time this year, so foals that simply sit in their own mare and remain with the breeder until weaning. The advantage of this is that there is no hassle of bringing surrogate mares back and forth, etc. You can see it as an extra service to the buyers.” Van Straaten hopes to be able to select from the large customer base: “If you look at our references, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has produced many sport horses. So it turns out our breeders know what they are doing!”

Early Foal Auction

Another service is the early online foal auction on May 18. Dressage foal selector Cas van der Oord explains: “Dressage and show jumping foals born in February, or even January, are difficult to select for an auction in September. By then they are half yearlings and not at their most commercial. That is why we offer the possibility to auction these foals online in May, so that breeders still have the opportunity to sell their breeding products well.” Together with Lauw van Vliet, Cas is responsible for the dressage foals to be selected.

Power of performance  

As is now known, Prinsjesdag uses the adage “Power of Performance”, which means that the breeding products to be auctioned descend from mares that have competed in sport themselves, have given sport or come from dam lines. who have delivered extraordinary performances. Do you expect a foal from a mare that meets these criteria or do you have an (icsi) embryo that is interesting for the Prinsjesdag auction? Then you can give it up for the embryo or foal auction via the registration form on the Prinsjesdag website: www.prinsjesdag.eu
