Following the success of the Prinsjesdag Foal Auction last weekend at CSI Houten, the renowned auction is now gearing up for a new highlight. On Saturday evening, August 23rd, the exclusive live auction will take place at one of the most beautiful locations in the Netherlands: the Droom Hoeve in Grootebroek. No fewer than 32 exceptional dressage foals will go under the hammer that evening.

The collection consists of genetically very interesting and well-moving foals, bred from proven dam lines full of Grand Prix horses or approved stallions and sires who have proven themselves in sport or breeding. These include two-time world champion Red Viper, Total US, Elastic, For Romance, Vitalis, McLaren, and Kjento. Some notable foals include:

• Versailles (by Blue Hors Zackery) – half-brother of Olympic Hermès
• Vanquish (by One Million) – son of NMK mare D.Obertje, half-sister of Glock's Tango
• Valkyrie-K van Kattenheye (by Elastic) – half-sister of NMK champion Raspoetin-K van Kattenheye
• Valeta Rose BSW (by Powerbank) – from the dam line of Chagall D&R, Bretton Woods and Four Legends
• Vows of Love FX (by Total US) – from the damline of the Olympic Dablino FRH

An evening full of experience and quality
The exclusive ambiance of the Droom Hoeve provides the setting for this premiere. Guests can expect a unique mix of top-notch foals, entertainment, and a fantastic VIP experience. Chairman Arjan van der Waaij: "With this collection, we immediately set a strong tone for our new dressage auction. The quality of the foals, the proven bloodlines, and the location make this an evening that breeders and buyers won't want to miss."

On the traditional third Tuesday of September Foal Auction Prinsjesdag is present with an exclusive collection of jumping and dressage foals. A total of 66 foals will be auctioned by Koen Olaerts on Tuesday 19 September at the National Equestrian Center in Ermelo. A collection overflowing with promising genes, both in the jumping and dressage direction.

An Emerald filly out of the sister of Uricas van de Kattevennen, an Eldorado van de Zeshoek daughter out of the full sister of Erenice Horta, a granddaughter of Valentina van 't Heike, a Mylord Carthago son out of a granddaughter of world champion Liscalgot; these are just a few examples of the special collection of showjumping foals put together by Bob Janssens and Willem van Hoof. The dressage committee, consisting of Cas van der Oord and Lauw van Vliet, also did their best and registered an excellent group of foals. The Texel breeding, the line of Charites, the direct family of Bretton Woods, closely related to Grand Prix mare Sisther de Jeu, the strong maternal line of Kairos - we find it all in the dressage collection.
