Foal Auction Prinsjesdag full of confidence towards 2019!

November 23, 2018/in News/by bonsai

The board of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag looks back with full satisfaction on the 2018 edition. International buyers managed to find the auction again. It became clear in the jumping direction that quality and potential are paid for. The average of this evening was €14,338. The absolute top auction of 2018 turned out to be the excellent dressage foal Nouvelle Feniz Texel (by Glock's Toto Jr.) on September 12, who changed owners for €85,000.

Chairman Arjan van der Waaij about the last edition: “We have every reason to be positive. We auctioned well and the entire administrative process went smoothly.” The jumping auction went fantastic. New Usha van 't Studutch (by Cavalier Royale) yielded €52,000. Next Meta became the second most expensive foal. This extremely interesting mare by Cornet Obolensky is the full sister of the KWPN champion stallion Kannan Jr. and raised €44,000.

The second auction day was dominated by the dressage talents. Nouvelle Feniz Texel, bred by the van der Linde family, provided an exciting bidding duel. The Dantism family won for no less than € 85,000. Great prizes were also paid for Natural Spring SSS (by Totilas, €56,000) and Ninvasion (by Glock's Toto Jr., €32,000).

Stand during the KWPN Stallion Inspection

In February, the Prinsjesdag team will be present again with a stand during the upcoming KWPN stallion selection in Den Bosch. Van der Waaij: “Interested people can find us at our familiar spot on the main slope. Everyone is welcome for a chat and a cup of coffee. I therefore invite everyone to come along.” Breeders can register their (expected) foals online. This can also be done directly in the stand via the laptop.

Van der Waaij: “We will continue to select according to our motto 'the power of performance' and are confidently moving towards 2019.” Foal Auction Prinsjesdag will be back next year according to tradition on the third Tuesday of September. The jumping foals will be auctioned on September 17 and the dressage direction will be on September 18.

Double stroke for phenomenon Jameson RS2

November 22, 2018/in News/by bonsai

With a 10 for the canter and a record score of 90 points, Jameson RS2, sold as an embryo at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, earned his breeding license with the KWPN. The unprecedented talent of this Blue Hors Zack son is controversial and has already earned him the championship title at the KWPN stallion selection and the victory in the Pavo Cup. In the performance test he once again left no doubt about his natural talent.

Stallion Competition

Barely two weeks after his approval, he immediately made an appearance in the KWPN Stallion Competition in Kronenberg and again he made an exceptional impression. Under Marieke van der Putten, the breeding product of Stal 104 won with a top score of 92 points. What a phenomenal Prinsjesdag reference, this stallion by RS2 Dressage!

Nouvelle Feniz Texel masterpiece of very successful Prinsjesdag auction

September 12, 2018/in Dressage, News/by bonsai

With a record price of € 85,000, the extreme movement talent Nouvelle Feniz Texel (by Glock's Toto Jr.) turned out to be the absolute auction topper of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. Good prices and a good average of € 12,500 were also achieved across the board. Just like yesterday with the jumping foals, there was a lot of interest from all over Europe for the strong collection of foals.

At the 26th edition of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, the movement talents turned out to be in great demand. Nouvelle Feniz Texel (Glock's Toto Jr. x Negro), bred by Willem van der Linde, resulted in an exciting bidding duel in which the Dantism family eventually won. Their ten-year-old daughter Aaliyah immediately fell for the extremely talented filly for which the hammer fell to €85,000. Excellent prizes were also won by Natural Spring SSS (by Totilas, € 56,000), Ninvasion (by Glock's Toto Jr., € 32,000) and Nox (by Fürst Romancier, € 30,000). “Last year we had a record-breaking auction for dressage foals, which set the bar extra high this year. We are very pleased that we have again been able to realize such a successful auction together, with almost the same average price. Very attractive prices have been won in both width and height, including an extreme outlier in terms of price and quality. Every round, Nouvelle Feniz Texel continued to attract great attention and the moment of the day is certainly decisive for dressage foals”, chairman Arjan van der Waaij looks back at the auction.

Great interest

Most of the foals have had new Dutch owners and future talents have also been sold to strong dressage countries such as Germany and Denmark. "There was a lot of interest in the foals from all over Europe, we noticed that in the preliminary phase. Both the VIP and the grandstand were packed, and that not only ensured good prices but also a lot of atmosphere." The online live bidding, which was introduced this year by Foal Auction Prinsjesdag in equestrian Netherlands, also proved to be of added value, just like yesterday. “As an organisation, we are pleased to have been able to live up to the high expectations again this year. It will be another great challenge to match this next year.”

Personal artwork opening auction piece dressage evening

September 12, 2018/in News/by bonsai

During the dressage auction of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag on September 12, the opening auction piece is an exclusive, personal work of art. Created by Astrid Thomas of ResinArt.
ResinArt is a young company that combines artistic creativity & photography with shine & deepening of synthetic resin.

Proceeds to Parapaard

The proceeds of the opening auction piece will benefit ParaPaard. This is part of the Disability Sports Fund and is committed to raising (financial) resources in order to support associations and organizations that offer adapted equestrian sports activities to people with disabilities. By supporting them, ParaPaard wants to ensure that adapted horse riding is made and kept more accessible.

ResinArt originated from an uncovered passion for synthetic resin

Synthetic resin (or epoxy) is a two-component resin that can be described perfectly as 'liquid glass'. Where a photo on acrylic is actually attached to the photo behind an acrylic plate, the High Gloss Epoxy is poured over the photo and molds itself to the object. This provides a nicer color intensity and a beautiful depth effect. The special thing about epoxy is that various materials can be applied between the different layers. You can think of Swarovski or gold leaf, but real flowers or even the mane of a horse can be processed in a photo panel, so that a beautiful 3d effect is achieved.

The piece of art to be auctioned is tailor-made for the highest bidder. The size of the offered artwork is 50 by 70, but customization is of course also an option. The photo offered will be made by Fleur Louwe. This talented young photographer has been nominated for a Dutch Photograph Talent Award 2019.

Prinsjesdag breaks the trend with absolute top auction

September 11, 2018/in Background, News, To jump/by bonsai

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

September 4, 2018/in News, To jump/by bonsai

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.

Velleza-S Z:

Wildcards added to selection

September 1, 2018/in News/by bonsai

The impressive collections of jumping and dressage foals at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag have become even more impressive with the addition of three wildcards. Two dressage and one jumping foal have been added to the selection.

Two fillies

Two fillies were added in the dressage category; Nuance of Court Olympia (s.Blue Horse Zack) and Norina-Milou D (s.Vivaldi). Dressage selector Bert Poppelaars is very pleased with the addition of both dressage foals. “We wanted to add two more interesting fillies to the selection, and we succeeded very well with these two. The dam of the Vivaldi foal has already given two champions and became champion of Brabant herself. The foal of Blue Hors Zack comes from the Hof Olympia line, and a lot of sport comes from that. Both sires give offspring that are increasingly at the top of the classes, so they also fitted very well into the picture.”

An extra gem was also selected for lovers of interesting show jumpers. Unterwelt of the Gerendal Z is a son of Untouchable out of a granddaughter of one of the world's most famous broodmares: Usha van 't Roosakker. All information, photos and videos can be found on our website.

Foal Auction Prinsjesdag auctions exclusive offspring of Donnerhall

30 August 2018/in Dressage, News/by bonsai

Dressage stallion Donnerhall is not only legendary for his sporting achievements, he also performs excellently in breeding. In 2017, there were no fewer than three direct offspring in the top ten of the WFBSH ranking, which is led by his son De Niro. On September 11, a direct descendant of Donnerhall will be auctioned during Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. And that is remarkable, because the stallion already died in 2002.

The last Donnerhall?

Virtually no more foals have been born from the legendary top progenitor Donnerhall since 2002, but Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has managed to find one more. Nostalgic bra is probably his last son, and also represents a strong maternal line. His dam Unolita already produced the ZZ-Zwaar dressage horse Bunolita. She is a mare from the line of successful breeder Huub van Helvoirt, from this dam line many well-known horses, such as the approved stallions Ebony and All At Once and the Grand Prix horse Romanoff of Vai Bruntink.

Donnerhall performed fantastically between the white picket fences. In his lifetime, he recorded 65 FEI victories and won multiple team golds and individual medals at major championships. But even more impressive are the performances as a sire. Because without Donnerhall dressage breeding would have looked completely different; the founder of the German D-line has produced an unparalleled number of influential sons and outstanding Grand Prix dressage horses.

Sell with a heavy heart

Breeder Jan Vink used ICSI to establish the pregnancy. An egg is injected with only one sperm cell. “I could get a straw from Donnerhall, and of course you don't miss such an opportunity. Donnerhall is the best dressage sire there has ever been. It is known that with a bloody mare he brings the best offspring. And Unolita is that. She is a terribly good mare. Nostalgic BH has everything it takes to become an approved stallion.

After the sale of his pancake factory, Vink now mainly focuses on Blackhorses Stud† The sale of this foal is close to his heart; “I'm known for not selling quickly, but I want to cut back a bit. I now have too many horses just for the sake of it, and then you have to sell. If I ever sell something at the auction, then it must immediately be a very good foal!”

Bert Poppelaars was wildly enthusiastic when, as selector, he had the opportunity to capture the foal. “Not only is it one of the very last Donnerhalls, but it is also a very good foal from a very good dam line.”

Nostalgic BH will be auctioned on September 12 during the dressage auction of Foal Foal Prinsjesdag.
