Prinsjesdag adds two exclusive wildcards

Both qualitatively and quantitatively, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has been able to put together fantastic collections for its 25th edition, with 64 jumping and 62 dressage foals. Two very exclusive jumping foals have been added by means of wildcards, which will be auctioned on September 19.

The two wild card foals underline the Prinsjesdag motto 'Strength through performance' in a special way. For example, a very interesting colt by top progenitor Diamant de Semilly could be registered with Benny Wezenberg, who comes from the same dam as the successful Grand Prix show jumper G&C Arrayan (s.Baloubet du Rouet). Under Sergio Alvarez Moya he is currently fifth in the world ranking and, with a twelfth place in the individual final, he emerged as the best KWPN horse at the European Championship in Göthenburg. Other recent successes for G&C Arrayan include victories in the LGCT Cannes Grand Prix and the 1.55m in Versailles, and a fifth place in the World Cup Final in Omaha. The colt Mistral W is also a half-brother of the Grand Prix show jumper Baricello W (s.Quidam de Revel) ridden by Seamus Hayes. Dam Grandezza also brings in the valuable genes of Grannus and Pilot.

Unique breeding material

The filly Marthago (s.Chapeau TN) also offers a unique opportunity for Foal Auction Prinsjesdag† This genetically high-quality foal comes out of the famous Carthago daughter Larthago of breeder Tinus van der Bruggen, with whom she is a half-sister of the international sport and breeding stallion Harley VDL. Under Mathijs van Asten, Larthago herself performed up to international 1.50m level and she has managed to manifest herself in breeding in a special way. Besides the keur stallion Harley VDL, she also produced the Grand Prix show jumpers Hopes Are High Z (by High Valley Z) and Sören Z (by Sandro Boy), the international 1.50m jumping stallion Cevin Z (by Coriall). the promising approved stallion Casago (s.Casall) and several 1.40/1.45m show jumpers.
