Strong performances Alicante and Jérôme Guery CSI5* Treffen

/in , , , /by

At the impressive Glock CSI5* Treffen competition, Alicante and his Belgian rider Jérôme Guery showed their good side again. The beautiful gray stallion of Casall jumped to fourth place on the opening day and only dropped one bar in his third five-star Grand Prix.

The KWPN-approved stallion Alicante has jumped from one top ranking to another under Jérôme Guery in recent months, but especially in the important secondary classes at the five-star competitions. Now the breeding product of Ron Nowee of Stoeterij 't Maalwater seems to have made the switch to the Grand Prix level and it is only a matter of time until the first victory is a fact.

Top score for Iveniz Texel at SK Wamel: 90/90

/in , , /by

Last Saturday Iveniz Texel (Negro x Krack C) scored 90 points for conformation and movement at the Studbook inspection in Wamel. A fantastic score and of course the highest points of the day! In 2013, Iveniz Texel was already the most expensive filly at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, but the investment of the RS2 Dressage Center from Mook is already starting to pay off.

The breeding product of loyal Prinsjesdag supplier Wim van der Linde received nothing but praise from the jury. “An exceptional mare with a lot of expression, great build up and that's how she moved. She showed a lot of tact, balance, switching ability and fantastic transitions. During her performance in the ring, we let her trot an extra round, so that everyone could enjoy her for a while!", said jury chairperson Marian Dorresteijn.

Foal Auction Prinsjesdag congratulates breeder Wim van der Linde and owner RS2 Dressage Center with this great success of Iveniz Texel!

KWPN approved Hernandez TN takes victory for four-year-olds Jumping Etten-Leur

/in , , , /by

Jumping Etten-Leur is traditionally one of the largest and most prominent young horse competitions in the Netherlands and last weekend Hernandez TN, auctioned on Prinsjesdag, won one of the main competitions. The competition for four-year-olds on Saturday afternoon is always one of the highlights of Jumping Etten-Leur and it is precisely here that the KWPN-approved Hernandez TN (Kannan x Numero Uno) triumphed.

The Hernandez TN, auctioned in 2012, under the saddle of Team Nijhof stable rider Zoï Snels, earned a whopping 8.5 for jumping and rideability. The breeding product of Willem Dekker – coincidentally also a member of the Prinsjesdag board – was the winner of the strong field of four-year-olds.

“Hernandez TN has always given me an extra feeling. The feeling that you have a machine up your ass and it really is! Hernandez still needs to get stronger but I think he'll have everything in the house soon. Including a top character!”, said show jumping rider Zoï Snels about the Kannan son.

The first embryo sold through Embryoauction.com last year is born! Proud owner Jos Lansink from Belgium sent pictures of this promising colt by World Champion Cumano out of the successful Grand Prix jumping mare Parabel.

Under Jos Lansink himself, Cumano jumped to the world title at the World Equestrian Games in Aachen 2006. Thanks to the new ICSI technique, despite the moderate fertilizing capacity, Cumano foals are still born and this colt auctioned via Embryoauction.com is one of them! Dam Parabel is not just any mare either; under Mareille van Geel-Schröder, this Animo daughter finished in second place in 2006 in the prestigious Grand Prix of Jumping Amsterdam.

Zoï Snels praises the former topper This Lux in De Paardkrant

/in , , , /by

The talented stable rider of Team Nijhof Zoï Snels is full of praise in an interview in De Paardenkrant about the This Lux, which was auctioned at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. “This Lux has brought me to the level I had when I went to Nijhof”, says Zoï Snels in this week's De Paardenkrant.

Zoï Snels and his parents bought This Lux (Lux x Wisconsin) as an eight-year-old, but the gelding was still inexperienced at the time. Zoï trained the horse himself from B to three-star Grand Prix level. In 2011, Zoï took the victory in the Grand Prix of Etten-Leur with This Lux. “That is my most beautiful victory so far!” says Zoï in De Paardenkrant.
