Fourteen-year-old Canadian rider Ava MacCoubrey and her now nineteen-year-old Pablo (Cordial Medoc x Voltaire) won the Freestyle for Juniors in Cedar Valley last weekend. With a nice score of 68,21%, the Canadian rider and Pablo were honored as winners. In the earlier junior class they finished second with 65,97%.
The Carbani (Carolus II x Baloubet du Rouet) and Elena W (Quidam de Revel x Cassini I) auctioned at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag last weekend delivered great international performances.
Under the saddle of British Jemma Kirk, the nine-year-old Carbani jumped to a good third place in the CSI3* 1.35m of Lons le Saunier. The just seven-year-old Elena W did well under Frenchman Charles Henri Robert. In Le Mans Elena W jumped clear in all classes for seven-year-old show jumpers and finished third last Saturday.
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!
The four-year-old Heliotrop HBZ (Tornesch x Calvados) and Kim Bouten won the pre-selection for De Wolden Cup in Staphorst last weekend. In the class for four-year-old show jumpers, the Heliotrop HBZ auctioned at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag won with a convincing score of 25.9 points.
Bonne Chance CW once again proved to belong to the absolute world top at the CSIO5* in St. Gallen last weekend. Under the Swiss rider Janika Sprunger, the ten-year-old Baloubet du Rouet daughter finished in a fantastic third place in the hard-fought Grand Prix.
Bonne Chance CW (Baloubet du Rouet x Cambridge), bred by HJF van Loon, jumped fantastic in both the first round and the second round, which was run against the clock. Just 0.32 seconds behind winner Hans-Dieter Dreher, Janika Sprunger and Bonne Chance CW came in for third money in the five-star Grand Prix.
During the entire competition in St. Gallen, the chestnut mare showed her absolute class. On the opening day, Bonne Chance CW immediately finished fifth and on Friday came a third place in an important 1.50m class. Third place in the Grand Prix on Sunday was the icing on the cake for Bonne Chance CW and Janika Sprunger. Foal Auction Prinsjesdag: the Power of Performance!
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 Boston STH (Johnson x Quattro B) sold at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag finished in second place last weekend in the U25 Grand Prix Freestyle to Music at CDI Roosendaal. Under the talented Dutch rider Denise Nekeman, the ten-year-old stallion scored 72.70%. A fantastic performance by this promising duo!
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.
The performances of Alicante and Jérôme Guery just keep on coming! Last weekend, the imposing KWPN-approved stallion won a five-star 1.50m class on the Longines Global Champions Tour in Chantilly on Friday and Sunday.
Since Jérôme Guery took over the reins from Alicante at the beginning of this year, the career of the Casall son has been on the rise. Alicante has developed into one of the most promising Grand Prix show jumpers on the circuit in just a few months and underlined its potential with the two victories in Chantilly last weekend.
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.
