62 jumping and dressage foals will be auctioned on Tuesday 15 September at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag and here you will find the auction order† From 2 pm these exclusive foals will be auctioned by auctioneer Koen Olaerts and you can bid on the interesting collection both on site and online.

Foal Auction Prinsjesdag starts next Tuesday at 2:00 pm with charity; part of the proceeds of the filly Quality of Darena WD Z (Quabri de l'Isle x Celano) goes to research into the treatment of melanoma cancer. The 38 jumping foals and 24 dressage foals then appear alternately on the track and both live and online bidders can place their bids.

From Jameson RS2 to Totilas, from Le Formidable to For Romance I
The dressage collection consists of a strictly selected group of foals – put together by selectors Lauw van Vliet and Jacques Verkerk. Excellent stallion and filly foals with the best pedigrees are part of the collection. Think of the offspring of promising stallions such as Jameson RS2, Just Wimphof, Livius, Le Formidable and Kjento; but also foals from proven Grand Prix stallions such as Totilas, Painted Black, Glock's Toto Jr. and For Romance I.
Well-known dam lines are also represented, including the performance line of Wim van der Linde from Texel, the lineage of Jerich Parzival, Governor and TC Athene, the Sonnevanck line and many others.

Half-brothers of Harley van de Bisschop & Halifax van het Kluizebos
Fred van Straaten and Willem van Hoof also managed to pull out all the stops for the show jumping collection for this September edition. Take Harley Optimus Z, for example, the three-quarter brother of Global Champions Tour winner Harley van de Bisschop. Or Umano de W&S – a Chacco Blue son from the same dam as former world number one Halifax van het Kluizebos.
A granddaughter of former world champion Liscalgot and a direct son of the Olympic mare Gibrouille du Lys are also part of the collection. Furthermore, the damlines of Qerly Chin, Glock's London, Usha van 't Roosakker, Emerald, VDL Glasgow van 't Merelsnest & Sapphire, Havinia & Zinius, Vindicat W & Woklahoma, Valentina van 't Heike and Larthago are amply represented by both interesting mares - as colts.

Fred van Straaten: “With this group of fillies you are investing in the future”

/in , , , /by

Prinsjesdag selector Fred van Straaten is full of expectations for the annual foal auction next Tuesday, September 15 in Ermelo. Foal Auction Prinsjesdag will auction 62 dressage and jumping foals both live and online from 2 pm; show jumping selector Fred van Straaten explains in particular the group of fillies.

“We have selected a nice number of interesting fillies for Foal Auction Prinsjesdag”, begins Fred van Straaten. “With this group of fillies you are investing in the future. As a two- or three-year-old you can already start using these mares for breeding and they can earn back the investment. This way you can immediately get a return on your investment and you can have a good sport horse at a later age.”

Fred van Straaten runs through the twelve fillies one by one:

Pixiedette S (Aganix du Seigneur x Clarimo x Voltaire):
“First of all, we bred the Aganix du Seigneur daughter from the Lupicor line. A striking foal that can perform and has a strong hind leg. A typical Aganix offspring and that is a real stallion to use; it gives attitude and strong sports bodies.”

Amanda-K van Kattenheye Z (Amadeo van 't Vossenhof x Zirocco Blue VDL x Corland):
“Father Amadeo is a young, promising stallion who has shown himself very well in the Belgian stallion competition. The dam of this foal Zoe-K van 't Kattenheye was recently at the top of the Belgian Cycle for five-year-olds under Tim van den Broeck and this is also the stock of Carthago. Definitely interesting!”

Andiamo Fee Z (Andiamo Semilly x I'm Special de Muze x Quasimodo Z):
“A foal with a nice print and a good way of cantering – really electric in his body. She also has a nice blood build with I'm Special de Muze on the mother's side; I'm Special is starting to break through with his offspring. Then Quasimodo Z who has fully proven himself and then from such a strong Dutch stock.”

Chardonnay van Kattenheye Z (Chacfly PS x Nabab de Rêve x Marius Claudius):
“Chacfly can sometimes take over from his sire Chacco Blue, so a daughter of this stallion is certainly interesting. In addition, this foal goes back to the Grand Prix mare Sea Coast Ferly; this Qerly Chin strain provides a lot of security for the future.”

Chic Future RL Z (Cornet Obolensky x Cartano x Galoubet A):
“This Cornet Obolensky foal is well put together; a beautiful foal. She also comes from a good stock. Mother jumped in the sport herself and already gave in an international show jumper and grandmother gave two Grand Prix show jumpers.”

El Paso Z (El Barone 111 Z x Calvaro Z x Capitol I):
“El Barone is a very special stallion; if you see him jumping again recently in Valkenswaard, just after such a busy breeding season. This is a very interesting foal straight out of the top mare Capitola Z, who has produced many good horses over the years.”

Philadelphia V (El Barone 111 Z x Eldorado van de Hexagon TN x Lux Z):
“This dam line has already produced many serious sport horses; the dam and grandmother of this foal both jumped well in sport. The mare Bermuda forms the basis of many international show jumpers. In addition, this is an elegant foal that can walk easily.”

Havanna Z (Halifax van het Kluizebos x Sandro Boy x Chellano Z):
“We have successfully auctioned foals from this line before. This line of Larthago has been amply proven and that is not only because of Larthago itself. Sandro Girl Z, the dam of this foal, also produced a number of excellent sport horses. There is enough to say about this dam line!”

Ulise van 't Merelsnest (Kasanova de la Pomme x Mr. Blue x Voltaire):
“With this filly, the upcoming stallion Kasanova de la Pomme is paired with the top line of the Van Bunder family; the strain of Sapphire and VDL Glasgow van 't Merelsnest. Kasanova de la Pomme is living up to it in sport and breeding – that stallion is really coming.”

Kato vh Gebergte Z (Kazan Z x Numero Uno x Lys de Darmen):
“A very tough foal with a strong body and a super canter. A really special foal from a very special tribe; this Van 't Heike line gives sports on all sides. Sire Kazan Z is still a young stallion, but with his pedigree he does have the potential to become a top stallion.”

On Fire vd Berghoeve Z (O'Neill van 't Eigenlo x Kassander van 't Roosakker x For Pleasure):
“This is perhaps one of the most interesting fillies. If you look at this blood structure with the upcoming breeding stallions O'Neill and Kassander and then proven stallions and mares who have really proven it themselves. Grandmother jumps Grand Prix and great-grandmother is the former World Champion Liscalgot – talking about attitude and hardness. In addition, this foal is extra interesting because of the strong Irish dam line; different blood, but proven.”

Quality of Darena WD Z (Quabri de L'isle x Celano x Farmer):
“Nice gesture from the Dekker family to make this foal available for charity. Immediately a striking foal with his special markings and good way of moving. Sire Quabri de l'Isle is one of the best sport stallions of recent years.”

Foal Auction Prinsjesdag live in the open air with guests

/in , , , , , /by

Taking into account all government and RIVM guidelines, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag will organize a live auction on Tuesday 15 September – albeit in a modified variant. The location remains unchanged; Traditionally, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag will take place at the KNHS center in Ermelo. The set-up and decoration are different from normal, for example, the foal auction will take place in the open air with space for a limited number of VIP guests and invited guests.

In addition to the 59 already published foals, three wild card foals will also be auctioned by Koen Olaerts on Tuesday 15 September. In order to comply with all guidelines, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has drawn up a careful and extensive corona plan. Unfortunately, the organization is only allowed to receive a limited number of guests during the live auction this year, but everyone has the option to bid online for the exclusive foals.

Unique Prinsjesdag atmosphere
The VIP box is divided into several separate tents around the auction arena, each with two VIP tables for four people. In this way the 1,5 meter distance rule can be applied, but the organization still tries to create the unique atmosphere of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag.

Foal viewing
The dressage and show jumping foals will be auctioned in one auction this year from 2 pm. Since applying the corona measures in a traditional foal presentation seems difficult to achieve, this has been cancelled. From 12:00 noon, interested parties will have the opportunity to view the foals in and around the stable complex in order to get a good impression of the collection. Naturally, all foals appear live in the arena during the auction.

Program
The schedule for Tuesday, September 15 is as follows:
Arrival foals 09:00 – 11:30 hrs
View foals 12:00 – 13:30
Reception of guests 13:30 – 14:00
Auction starts at 14:00 o'clock

If you are interested in one or more Prinsjesdag foals and would like to attend the auction, please register as soon as possible via info@prinsjesdag.eu† For online bids you can register at online.prinsjesdag.eu/register.

Foal Auction Prinsjesdag unveils brilliant foal collection for September auction

/in , , , /by

22 dressage foals and 37 jumping foals will be auctioned by Koen Olaerts on Tuesday 15 September at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. Although these carefully selected foals can also be bid online, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag also intends to hold a live auction on 15 September at the KNHS Center in Ermelo. “We are keeping a very close eye on current developments regarding the corona measures and are adjusting our auction accordingly,” explains chairman Arjan van der Waaij.

Both the dressage and show jumping collections consist of foals that meet the strict selection criteria of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, time and again under the motto of 'The Power of Performance'. “We are very pleased that, after two online auctions, we can close this season for Foal Auction Prinsjesdag with a live auction,” says Arjan van der Waaij. “Soon we will announce the details about the further implementation and visitors and VIP guests can register to attend the auction.”

Dressage collection with different highlights
With the very strong group of 22 dressage foals, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag hopes to be able to make a difference. “We think that our collection is far above average with a few unusual highlights”, says Lauw van Vliet, who is responsible for the dressage selection together with Jacques Verkerk. “There are several foals who, in addition to excellent models and movements, also come from very successful stocks. In addition, several colts are highly interesting for the stallion selection in a few years' time. The dressage foals showed themselves very well on the photo/video days, so I think the videos speak for themselves”, explains Lauw van Vliet.

Talent for sport and breeding
With fifteen promising colts, the dressage collection has a lot of potential with regard to stallion breeding. For example, the collection consists of interesting sons of Grand Prix stallions such as Glock's Toto Jr, For Romance I, Totilas and Painted Black, but also promising stallions such as Jameson RS2 and Just Wimphof are well represented. “A notable son of Just Wimphof, for example, is Power of Dreams – bred out of a Johnson dam. The Totilas son Patron du Coeur, out of a mare by Stedinger, is also a foal with enormous potential. This colt was only a few weeks old on the photo/video day, but it is a very special specimen," says Lauw van Vliet.
The group of seven fillies also consists of top talents for both sport and breeding. “Take the Daily Diamond foal Princess Lady Texel, for example, who can just follow her excellently auctioned stable mates”, Van Vliet refers to the time and again popular breeding products from Wim van der Linde from De Cocksdorp, Texel. Interesting daughters of Desperado NOP, Ebony, In Style, Glock's Toto Jr, Totilas and Just Wimphof also feature in the auction collection.

Best from European soil in jumping collection
The world's best dam lines are represented in the collection of 37 jumping foals, put together by Fred van Straaten and Willem van Hoof. Think, for example, of foals from the line of Usha van 't Roosakker, the line of Qerly Chin, the Van 't Merelsnest dam line or the line of Glock's London and Ta Belle van Sombeke. But also Dutch top dam lines come to the fore in the jumping collection, such as the Lottie line, the line of Larthago and the dam lines of, for example, Gancia de Muze and Zinius. “We think we have selected an excellent group of jumping foals for this September edition,” says Willem van Hoof on behalf of the selection committee. “On paper, several foals stand out, but also in terms of quality foals I think we have a really strong collection. Foals with good models and fantastic canters – in both the mare and the colts.”

Son of Olympic mare Gibrouille du Lys
The show jumping collection includes a group of fillies that can also make a difference in breeding. Think of the Chacfly PS daughter Chardonnay van Kattenheye Z – a granddaughter of CSI5* mare Sea Coast Ferly, or Ulise van 't Merelsnest – a daughter of Kasanova de la Pomme straight out of the line of Sapphire and VDL Glasgow van 't Mereslnest. Kato van het Gebergte – bred out of the sister of Valentina van 't Heike – and El Passo Z – El Barone 111 daughter out of top mare Capitola Z – are also some of the many examples of excellent fillies from the Prinsjesdag show jumping collection.
In addition, there are various colts that have extra opportunities for sport as well as for later stallion inspections. What about Harley Optimus Z – the three-quarter brother of Global Champions Tour winner Harley van de Bisschop – or Chic Philyra VV Z – a son of Cornet Obolensky out of the Olympic mare Gibrouille du Lys.

All in all, the September collection of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag is well worth studying further and from now on the complete collection is online at www.prinsjesdag.eu.
For more information about Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, please contact us without any obligation info@prinsjesdag.eu and for specific questions about the selected foals, the full selection committee will also be happy to assist you. For dressage: Jacques Verkerk (+316 55140470) and Lauw van Vliet (+316 22516452); for jumping: Fred van Straaten (+316 53371860) and Willem van Hoof (+316 20640895).

100% score jumping stallions KWPN Stallion Show

/in , /by

Today two Prinsjesdag stallions entered the ring during the KWPN Stallion Show.
The first of the two nominated stallions, Leviathan (For Pleasure x Untouchable) was bred by Nick Smit out of the mare U-Bresco. With this his girlfriend Marriët Smit performed successfully at 1.60 level. The stallion was purchased at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag in 2016 by his current owner Rinus Blom.

Quality Boy PB Z (Quickly de Kreisker x Baloubet du Rouet) also made it to the last round of the inspection and was selected for the performance test. As a foal, this breeding product of P. Bastiaansen came into the hands of Egbert Schep and Hans van der Louw.
We congratulate the breeders and owners of both horses with this wonderful result!

Both stallions will be auctioned on Friday 31 January during the KWPN Select Sale.
Check out Leviathan and Quality Boy PB Z on the KSS auction site. Afterwards, the first Prinsjesdag drink will take place in our stand on the main arena. You will find this at the entrance of the VIP box. You are also welcome at our stand for a chat or a cup of coffee. We are present every day.

Five Prinsjesdag stallions to Den Bosch

/in , /by

The first viewing of the KWPN stallion selection resulted in an invitation to the KWPN Stallion Show for five Prinsjesdag horses. Sons of For Pleasure, Quickly de Kreisker, Gandhi, Florencio and Glock's Zonik will make an appearance in the second viewing.

During the first viewing in Ermelo, the For Pleasure son Leviathan (ds. Untouchable) of R. Blom showed himself to be a very talented horse. The stallion was bred by N. Smit and JJ Smit-de Goede and comes from a real sport line. The Quality Boy PB Z (Quickly de Kreisker x Baloubet du Rouet) owned by E. Schep and JJ van der Louw, bred by P. Bastiaansen, also made a strong impression. This interesting stallion is a half-brother of the recognized Grand Prix stallion Carrera VDL.

International transfer
Among the dressage stallions, the Zonik son LA Zonik (ds.Goodtimes, breeder AJ Lievaart from Wijckel) of DK Dressage Horses from Helvoirt earned an invitation for the second viewing. In Ermelo it was announced that this talent of Demy Kurstjens has now come into the hands of Andreas Helgstrand. Landal G (Ghandi x Rousseau), bred by MA de Groot, also made a good impression. More than two years after being auctioned in Ermelo, N. Donkers' stallion convinced again. The third dressage stallion with a ticket for the second selection round is the Leerava (Florencio x Negro), bred by the late C. van Etten, by CY Pellikaan. Breeders and owners good luck in Den Bosch!

Prinsjesdag breaks the trend with absolute top auction

/in , , /by

Buyers from home and abroad have shown optimum appreciation for the rock-solid collection of jumping foals of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag by buying into their pockets. High-quality foals with the very best bloodlines achieved a wonderful average of more than € 14,300 and the interesting filly New Usha van 't Studutch yielded the top prize of € 52,000. With an absolute top auction, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has shown that quality and potential are still well paid.

Chairman Arjan van der Waaij looks back on a fantastic auction. “We had a very good feeling about the collection beforehand, but it all has to happen at the auction. You need the right buyers and several interested parties per foal. Tonight everything came together and our fine collection has been greatly appreciated by buyers from home and abroad.” Many prominent buyers were present in Ermelo, and several foals were also sold via telephone bidding and real-time live bidding via the internet. “The foals were pulled from all sides and that resulted in a great auction. We have some very good outliers but we are also very happy with the high average. Two-thirds of the foals have been sold for a price of more than 10,000 euros, which means that the breeders have received good prices for their interestingly bred foals.”

fillies

The most expensive foal sold was New Usha van 't Studutch, bred from the Van 't Roosakker line. This Cavalier Royale daughter, bred by Sjaak van der Lei, will remain in the Netherlands. The second most expensive foal was also an extremely interesting filly, namely the Cornet Obolensky daughter Next Meta. This full sister of the KWPN champion stallion Kannan Jr. earned her breeders Wobbe and Marietje Kramer 44,000 euros and she will continue her career with top rider Cian O'Connor. This rider also purchased the Aganix du Seigneur foal Athletico Z out of the full sister of Big Star. Other highlights were the Cumano daughter Nanalotte ES, who leaves for England for a price of € 44,000, the Opium JW van de Moerhoeve daughter Summer van den Bisschop, who moves to Miami for € 36,000 and as the most expensive colt the striking wildcard Unterwelt from the Gerendal Z (by Untouchable) with a prize of € 32,000. The latter was one of the foals sold through the online bidding.

a lot of confidence

For the first time this year, each foal started at 5,000 euros. “As an organization we have a lot of confidence in the foals and that is why we have increased the opening bid this year. That worked out well because no one got stuck around this amount. Quality is paid for, which has fortunately been proven again today.” The foals have been sold to countries such as America, England, Colombia and Germany, yielding an average price of €14,338. “Certainly in view of the large number of 65 foals auctioned, that is a very good average. This auction has made a lot of breeders happy and we hope to see them again next year with their foals. It is also very positive that many foals have been sold directly to good riders and stallion owners. With this we have not only ensured sales and good prices, but hopefully also a great future for the foals. Now on to tomorrow, hopefully the auction of the dressage foals will also be such a success”, concludes Van der Waaij. The filly Velleza-S Z, auctioned for charity, came into the hands of Jan Vink and Siem Kat for € 13,000. Half of this will go to the Support Casper Foundation.

Prinsjesdag auctions foal for the fight against pancreatic cancer

/in , /by

On September 11, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has a very special auction piece. Half of the proceeds of the jumping foal Velleza-S Z will be donated to the Support Casper campaign of the Survival with Pancreatic Cancer Foundation. This organization is fully committed to fighting one of the most aggressive forms of cancer.

The founders of the foundation are all friends or family of people who have died of pancreatic cancer. They discovered that there is shockingly little attention for pancreatic cancer. Presumably because most people die from it so quickly that there is no time and space to initiate actions or demand attention.

Every day, eight people die of pancreatic cancer in the Netherlands alone. 90% of patients diagnosed with it do not survive the disease.
The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness about pancreatic cancer and at the same time raise structural funds to enable much-needed research into new, innovative treatment methods. The name of the campaign is oncologist and surgeon Casper van Eijck. He specializes in pancreatic cancer and is raising money for new research.

Support Casper

The initiator of the promotion during the auction is breeder and Prinsjesdag selector Fred van Straaten. “Last year I saw a piece on TV about the work of this foundation and in particular the doctor behind it; Casper VanEijck. He seemed like a very special man. Fortunately I have no personal experience with this disease and I hope not to have one. It's a cancer that is so disastrous for people, it wouldn't let go of me. I thought; we have to do something about this. The auction is an excellent moment to do our part.”

Velleza-S Z


Velleza-S Z is a filly from the breeding of the Van Straaten Family. Her sire is top stallion Vigo d' Arsouilles. Dam Belleza-S has proven to have enough jumping ability. She jumped a wall of 1.95m in Wierden and had a successful sports career at 1.45m level. Velleza-S Z will be the first foal to be auctioned on September 11. Half of the proceeds will benefit the Foundation Support Casper.

Athletes make their move in Ommen

/in , /by

During the first edition of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag during CSI Ommen, nine jumping foals were auctioned tonight. Under the inspiring leadership of auctioneer Ernesto Conseco, a total of €95,500 was spent in Stegeren. This brought the average selling price to €10,611.

Show jumping rider Lucas Porter bought the charming Quabri de l'Isle offspring Qualibrie. SZ. Porter: “I'm very happy with him. It looks like a very sharp and careful foal. We immediately noticed this in the presentation, he jumped over a shadow on the ground. And he is fantastically bred. With a super sire out of a mare from the direct line of one of my best horses ever: B Once Z. In short, he met all our requirements! We have another foal this year, it would be nice if the two could grow up together.”

Auction topper Badr (by Balou du Rouet x Zambesi) entered the arena as second last. The colt from the dam line of Van Schijndel's Now or Never and It's the Business was sold for €16,000.

President of the Budget Day, Arjan van der Waaij, about the first edition of the auction in Stegeren: “We are pleased that the entrants proved loyal to our auction and wanted to participate in this initiative. Most of the foals were bought by sports people. This is great for the breeders, because that way their breeding products reach the right people directly. We will most likely see them again in the international show jumping ring.”

The next editions of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag will take place on 11 and 12 September at the National Equestrian Center in Ermelo.
