Famous lines Usha van 't Roosakker and Van 't Merelsnest represented in Prinsjesdag collection

/in , , , /by

The selection committee of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag also traveled across town and country this year to select the best foals for the show jumping and dressage auction on Tuesday 13 and Wednesday 14 September. Even foals from the famous and sought-after lines of Usha van 't Roosakker and McLain Ward's Olympian Sapphire or the Van 't Merelsnest breeding are again part of the show jumping collection this year.

The colts come from the line of the world famous mare Usha van 't Roosakker this year Quantum of the Bishop (Untouched x Elvis ter Putte) and Quando van den Bishop (Harley VDL x Stakkato).

Quantum van den Bisschop is one of the few descendants of the recently deceased Untouched, who belonged to one of the greatest jumping talents in the world under Ben Maher at the age of nine. In addition, Quantum was bred out of the young, promising mare Mevita van den Bisschop, the half-sister of the international show jumping talents Josephine van den Bisschop (Alberto Zorzi), Isaac van den Bisschop (Hansueli Sprunger) and Jackson van den Bisschop (Sabrina van Rijswijk). Great-granddam Evita van 't Roosakker is a direct daughter of Usha van 't Roosakker and is therefore the full sister of Emperio van 't Roosakker (Alexandra Crown) and Equador van 't Roosakker (Frédéric David) and the half-sister of the famous Cella ( Ben Maher) and the promising young stallion George Z.
Via the mare Mandy van den Bisschop, Quando van den Bisschop goes directly back to Josephine van den Bisschop, who already jumps at international level at the age of seven under Alberto Zorzi – stable rider of Jan Tops. The great-granddam of Quando van den Bisschop is Evita van 't Roosakker, the Nabab de Rêve daughter from Usha van 't Roosakker.

The colts Qionno van 't Merelsnest (Kannan x Nabab de Rêve) and Quizano van 't Merelsnest (Diamant de Semilly x Kannan) represent this year the famous strain of Sapphire (McLain Ward) and Glasgow van 't Merelsnest (Jur Vrieling).

Qionno van 't Merelsnest descends from the talented mare Latina van 't Merelsnest who goes back to Wendelina van 't Merelsnest via Indi Blue-W van 't Merelsnest. This mare jumped at international 1.50m level herself, is the full sister of McLain Wards Sapphire and produced Glasgow van 't Merelsnest and Edjaz van 't Merelsnest (Ward De Bie) among others.
Quizano van 't Merelsnest has a pedigree to dream of with Diamant de Semilly, Kannan, Mr. Blue, Lord Z and Darco consecutively. Ultimately, Quizano's pedigree also goes back to the line of the two-time gold Olympian Sapphire.

Prinsjesdag auctions five Vagabond de la Pomme foals and a Toulon son out of half-sister Vagabond

/in , , , /by

Vagabond de la Pomme belongs to the absolute world top under the French rider Pénélope Leprévost. In addition to his own exceptional performances, his offspring are also doing very well and Vagabond is excellently bred. Foal Auction Prinsjesdag is auctioning five foals by Vagabond de la Pomme and the colt Tivoli Z (Toulon x Nabab de Rêve) bred out of Vagabond's half-sister.

With world champion Vigo d'Arsouilles as sire and the international Grand Prix show jumping mare Sauterelle de la Pomme (For Pleasure x Darco) as dam, both the sporting and breeding achievements of Vagabond de la Pomme were inevitable. With Pénélope Leprévost, Vagabond took second in the 2015 World Cup Final in Las Vegas, second in the five-star Basel Grand Prix and also third in the Chantilly GP and the Paris GP.

On Tuesday 13 September in Ermelo, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag will auction five Vagabond de la Pomme colts, namely Vuvuzela Z (ds. Cambridge), Le Vagabond W (ds. Emilion), L'Chaim (ds. Gentleman), Leonidas van de Crumelhaeve (pls. Sam R) and lammtarra (pl. Untouchable Z).

Also the colt foal Tivoli Z (Toulon x Nabab de Rêve) deserves your attention. This particularly appealing colt is bred out of the mare Hermione de la Pomme, who jumps internationally successfully under Maikel van der Vleuten and already produced the KWPN-approved stallion Hotspot. In addition, Hermione de la Pomme is the half-sister of Vagabond de la Pomme, as she is also a daughter of top mare Sauterelle de la Pomme.

Prinsjesdag auctions full sister of high-profile KWPN reserve champion Ireland

/in , , /by


Ireland was one of the eye-catchers at the KWPN Stallion Inspection, but his career was not to last long. The reserve champion of the KWPN Stallion Inspection, purchased by Andreas Helgstrand, died of colic. With the filly Lanzarote (Dream Boy x Jazz), Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has still managed to capture the genes of Ireland.

Just like the high-profile Ireland descends Lanzarote from the foundation sire in the making, Dream Boy out of the well-known mare Zaragoza by Stoeterij Broere. This Jazz daughter is in turn the full sister of the KWPN-approved stallion Bristol, who was successful in dressage under Kirsten Beckers. Dream Boy is now a leader in both the stallion and mare inspections and his offspring are also starting to break through in the sport. Under Hans Peter Minderhoud, Dream Boy impresses in the Small Tour.

With the filly Luresia WD Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has managed to capture a foal related to Dream Boy. The Charmeur daughter, bred by Willem Dekker, is closely related to the Vivaldi son Dream Boy through great-granddam Iresia. The foundation sire Vivaldi – sire of the entire top three of the Pavo Cup Final for six-year-olds – is also well represented in the dressage collection. The Johnson Son Lewis Utopia comes from the same dam line as Vivaldi, the most interesting filly Latin music KL is a granddaughter and filly via father Le Vivaldi La Femme Ter Kwincke carries Vivaldi in the second generation and descends from the world famous Grand Prix stallion and dressage horse sire Briar.

Foal Auction Prinsjesdag publishes veterinary reports

/in , , , /by

For the first time, potential buyers already have insight into the veterinary reports of the foals that will be auctioned during the Foal Auction Prinsjesdag on 13 and 14 September. The findings of the clinical examination by recognized veterinary surgeons can be found on the website www.prinsjesdag.eu. This makes Foal Auction Prinsjesdag the first auction in the Netherlands that goes one step further in openness.
“We do this to provide the best possible transparent picture of the auction foals. For each foal that we have selected, we believe that the accompanying report is good enough for him or her to be auctioned, taking into account that they are very young foals where a lot can still change in terms of development," says Arjan van der Waaij, chairman of the foal auction in Ermelo.

The jumping foals will be auctioned on Tuesday 13 September, the dressage foals on Wednesday 14 September. A new embryo has also been added to www.embryoauctions.com, a branch of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. It is an embryo of For Romance (Fürst Romancier x Sir Donnerhall I) out of the half-sister of Desperados FRH, winner of individual bronze and team gold at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The online auction closes on August 28 at 8 p.m.

Matches Olympic finalists and Prinsjesdag collection striking

/in , , , /by

The bloodlines of the Olympic finalists in show jumping in Rio de Janeiro and the auction collection of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag have many similarities. For example, Prinsjesdag offers a colt out of the three-quarter sister of Dejavu (Bassem Hassan Mohammed), a filly out of the half-sister of Emerald (Harrie Smolders) and a colt out of the direct line of Bonne Chance CW (Janika Sprunger).

The colt foal Qui a Vu van 't Merelsnest is a genetically very striking specimen. His sire Vigo d'Arsouilles was the 2010 World Champion under Philippe Le Jeune and his dam is Lacoste van de Bucxtale – a daughter of the Heartbreaker son Zambesi. This makes Lacoste a three-quarter sister of the Heartbreaker son Dejavu, who convincingly qualified for the individual final of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro under Bassem Hassan Mohammed. Olympian Zilverstar T (Nicola Philippaerts) also comes from this direct dam line.
The filly is also unique quartina DC – a daughter of the foundation sire Comme Il Faut out of the Nabab de Rêve daughter Intense van 't Meulenhof. The mother of Quartina DC is none other than the half-sister of Emerald, who will compete with Harrie Smolders for individual medal of honor on Friday.
Levisto Blue RV Z is a colt by Levisto Z x Mr. Blue and is closely related to Janika Sprunger's topper Bonne Chance CW – also auctioned at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. Levisto Blue's great-granddam Kalista – full sister of Audi's Jikke – is the granddam of Bonne Chance CW, who also qualified for the individual final. Unfortunately, Bonne Chance CW will not be allowed to start as three other Swiss riders were also qualified. According to the regulations, only three combinations per country are allowed to start in the final.

In addition, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag selected two offspring of Olympic finalists. The colt foal Vegas is a son of Maikel van der Vleutens two-time Olympian Verdi out of a Heartbreaker dam. Although things did not go as hoped for the Dutch team, Maikel van der Vleuten and Verdi did not miss a beat. With only two time errors, the foundation sire Verdi qualified for the Olympic final. Four years ago in London, Verdi also entered the last day without jumping errors. A very special colt is also Quest SZ – one of the very few descendants of the high-profile Quabri de l'Isle. The beautiful dark chestnut of Pedro Veniss jumped phenomenal every day in Rio and convincingly qualified for the battle for the individual medals.

With three offspring in the individual final, Cornet Obolensky and Kannan are the main suppliers in Rio de Janeiro. Foal Auction Prinsjesdag offers no fewer than five foals from Cornet Obolensky and two direct offspring from Kannan. Kannan is also represented several times in the dam line of the Prinsjesdag foals. In Barron (Lucy Davis) and Fit For Fun (Luciana Diniz) For Pleasure produces two direct offspring for the final and with Fine Lady (Eric Lamaze), First Choice (Yann Candele) and Fibonacci (Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum) three grandchildren. Prinsjesdag has included no fewer than four direct descendants of the legendary For Pleasure in its collection.

Bronze medalist Desperados FRH well represented at Prinsjesdag and Embryoauction.com

/in , , , /by

Under Kristina Bröring-Sprehe, the heavy eye-catcher Desperados FRH danced to the individual bronze medal and the very convincing gold team medal at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro last week. Starting this week, Embryoauction.com is auctioning an embryo of top talent For Romance I out of Donna Musica – the half-sister of the dressage phenomenon Desperados FRH! Foal Auction Prinsjesdag will auction the filly Latinmusik KL – a Le Vivaldi daughter out of the half-sister of Desperados FRH on Wednesday 14 September. Two colts by the De Niro son will also be auctioned.

Desperados FRH has been convincing on all fronts for many years and endorsed his unprecedented talents with his fantastic performance at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. With 87.14%, Desperados FRH and his German rider Kristina Bröring-Sprehe impressed in the Freestyle to Music and took the individual bronze medal. With the German team, Desperados FRH and Bröring-Sprehe were awarded the gold medal after great performances in the Grand Prix and Grand Prix Spécial.

In addition to being a phenomenon in the sport, the De Niro son Desperados FRH is also a true foundation sire in the making. His oldest offspring are already competing at a high level in dressage and his sons are approved by many studbooks.
The dam line of Desperados is also very strong. Donna Musica – the mother of this embryo – also produced the stallion Frascino. This Fürst Wilhelm son is approved by Oldenburg, Westfalen and the Südd. Verbände and designated by the KWPN. The well-known Grand Prix dressage horse Don Diego of the Spaniard Juan Matute Guiman also comes from this line.

The foals related to Desperados FRH at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag are:

Latin music KL (Le Vivaldi x Don Frederico), filly
Demario W (Desperados x Painted Black), colt
Lightning Texel W (Desperados x Krack C), colt

Prinsjesdag foal Landal G reserve champion National Foal Inspection

/in , , /by

The impressive colt Landal G (Ghandi x Rousseau) has been declared reserve champion of dressage foals at the National Foal Inspection in Ermelo. Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has included this very beautiful foal by MA de Groot from Erp in its 2016 auction collection.

On Wednesday 14 September, the very strong moving Landal G will be auctioned at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag in Ermelo. Landal G is a descendant of the talented Bojengel son Ghandi out of the star mare Wamonda (by Rousseau), who already produced the Prinsjesdag foal Kiki G (by Vivaldi) last year.

The National Mare Inspection for Foal Auction Prinsjesdag was more successful. In addition to the championship title of the dressage mare Iveniz Texel RS2, the four-year-old jumping mare Heroniki (Tangelo van de Zuuthoeve x Burggraaf) of H. Balvert from Ouderkerk aan de Amstel finished in fourth place among the four to seven-year-old jumping mares.

Emerald embryo from Tequila van Spieveld sold to Monaco

/in , , , /by

The exceptional embryo of Harrie Smolders' Olympian Emerald out of the top mare Tequila van Spieveld has been sold via Embryoauction.com to Team VDW Monte Carlo from Monaco. The half-sibling of, among others, Echo van 't Spieveld was turned down online for a nice amount of 17,000 euros.

Basson van der Westhuizen is the proud new owner of the embryo. “We are very excited about this purchase. It's a long-term investment, but we hope it pays off in the end. It would be wonderful if this embryo becomes as good as the siblings!”

The South African who lives in Monaco is also a breeder of sport horses. “In Argentina we have a breeding farm for warmbloods, but because the import legislation is quite strict there, you are limited with your breeding choices. That is why we now want to set up more breeding in Europe.” The ultimate goal with this exclusive embryo is the sport. “If all goes well, we hope that this Embro will grow into a good sport horse. In any case, we leave him or her in professional hands in Belgium or France," emphasizes Basson van der Westhuizen.

Prinsjesdag collection 2016 fully related to Olympic horses for Rio de Janeiro

/in , , , , /by

The Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro are approaching and the list of participants is starting to become more and more clear. And this also makes it increasingly clear that the collection of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag 2016 is exceptionally often related to the Olympic horses for Rio!

Last Sunday the Dutch dressage team for Rio de Janeiro was announced: Glock's Johnson NOP, Glock's Voice, Jerich Parzival NOP and Arlando NOP will represent the Netherlands at the Olympics.
It is striking that Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has selected no fewer than seven (!) foals from medal candidate Glock's Johnson for the auction in Ermelo on Wednesday 14 September. Five very interesting colts and two high-quality fillies by Johnson are in the collection, of which Johnson has been combined three times with a Rousseau mare. The dam line of Jerich Parzival NOP is again represented via La Baule-STRH. This Millenium x Zhivago colt has the famous mare Orleans – the full sister of Jerich Parzival – as grandmother.
Johnson

However, the Prinsjesdag foals are not only related to the Dutch Olympic dressage horses. The German Olympiad horse Desperados FRH is represented both by two direct sons in the auction collection and by the filly Latinmusik KL – a Le Vivaldi out of Desperados' half-sister. The Swedish Olympiad horse in the making Dante Weltino also has two colts in the auction.
The genes of reigning Olympic champion Valegro can also be found in the Prinsjesdag auction collection via sire Negro. Two Negro colts and two fillies will be auctioned in September.
Desperados

The Dutch showjumping team consists of SFN Zenith NOP, Emerald NOP, VDL Zirocco Blue NOP and VDL Groep Verdi TN NOP and the Prinsjesdag foals show plenty of kinship with these too. The impressive Zirocco Blue has a stallion and a filly in the collection and the topper Verdi also has a son in the auction. Perhaps the most striking Rio-related foal is Quartina DC – a filly by Comme Il Faut out of the half-sister of eye-catcher Emerald NOP
Also worth mentioning are the three descendants of Quickly de Kreisker, who will go to the Olympic Games for Morocco. Also unique is the colt of the Brazilian celebrity Quabri de l'Isle – the Kannan son of whom only a few foals are born each year. A filly by Hardrock Z, who will most likely go to Rio for Venezuela, is also included in the collection.
Emerald

Cornet Obolensky and For Pleasure are the main suppliers for the Olympic Games in Rio next month and several foals of these foundation stallions have also been included in the Prinsjesdag collection. Cornet Obolensky has three sons and two daughters in the auction and For Pleasure is represented by three sons and one daughter in the collection.

Foal Auction Prinsjesdag auctions Millenium stallion foal out of half-sister Dutch champion TC Athene

/in , , , /by

The selected dressage foals from Foal Auction Prinsjesdag 2016 seem to have everything they need to start successfully in a few years' time at the Dutch Dressage Championships and the World Championship selections that will take place this week in Ermelo. The beautiful black colt La Baule-STRH has perhaps the most in common with some of the most striking horses in Ermelo this weekend. His dam Edelweiss-STR is the half-sister of the brand new Dutch champion Young Riders TC Athene ridden by Jeanine Nieuwenhuis and the KWPN-approved Governor who finished second under Adelinde Cornelissen in the five-year-old dressage horses.

The bred by Jan Streppel and Stephan Haarman La Baule STRH (Millenium x Zhivago) is not only bred out of the half-sister of TC Athene and Governor, but his grandmother Orléans is also the full sister of Jerich Parzival who started the Dutch Dressage Championships under Adelinde Cornellissen with 76.88% in the Grand Prix. This dam line is not only registered in the collection of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag via La Baule STRH, this successful line is also represented via three descendants of the very talented Governor (Totilas x Jazz).

One of the most strikingly bred descendants of Governor in the Prinsjesdag collection is Liquid Gold Utopia – a filly out of the Negro daughter Why o me Utopia. The full sister of Why o me Utopia is none other than Hexagon's Vinegra (Negro x De Niro), who competes at Grand Prix level under Thamar Zweistra. Grand Prix genes are fully represented at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, for example: Louis 14 Sollenburg (For Romance x OO Seven) out of the Grand Prix mare Astrid Sollenburg, or the colt Luck Pleasure D (Dark Pleasure x Contango) whose dam Olympia W already produced the Grand Prix dressage horses Arthur of Ashley Holzer and Wilton of Anna Buffini and is also a descendant of the world famous Endy line. And don't forget the colt either Look at Me (Charmeur x Havidoff) – a half-brother of Imke Schellekens-Bartels' Grand Prix dressage horse Toots, who is currently ridden by the Japanese Akane Kuroki.

The dam lines of several prominent approved stallions are also strongly represented in the collection of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. Take the filly for example Latin music KL (Le Vivaldi x Don Frederico), bred out of the half-sister of Kristina Sprehe's Grand Prix stallion Desperados FRH, who is also the sire of the colt Lightning Texel W (ds. Krack C) and the colt Demario W (ds. Painted Black). Also the filly Luresia WD (Charmeur x Krack C) bred out of the direct dam line of the KWPN-approved Dream Boy and the colt Last Minute (Dante Weltino x Jazz) bred out of the half-sister of the foundation sire Rousseau are certainly worth mentioning. In addition, the very interesting fillies Lirava (Capri Sonne Jr. x Scandic) bred out of the same dam as KWPN performance topper Giovanni and Lanzarote (Dream Boy x Jazz ) – the full sister of the sadly deceased reserve champion of the KWPN Stallion Selection 2016 Ireland – under the hammer on Wednesday 14 September at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag.

The foals mentioned above are just a few of the excellent dressage collection of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag 2016! All pedigrees of the selected foals can be found on www.prinsjesdag.eu and via the auction list on HorseTelex. If you cannot wait for the auction day on Wednesday 14 September in Ermelo, you are cordially invited to take a look at the photo/video day of the dressage foals on Friday 22 July at Equestrian Center Gert van den Hoorn at Asselseweg 35 in Kootwijk.
