Foal Auction Prinsjesdag organizes extra online auction due to high number of registrations

/in /by

Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has been contributing to the sale of foals for breeders since 1992. Three auctions are organized every year, namely the online embryo auction, the jumping horses and foal auction during CSI Ommen and the well-known September auction on the third Tuesday of September. This year the board has decided to add another auction to the calendar, namely an online foal auction on Tuesday 29 August.

The Power of Performance

Over the past 31 years Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has built up a reputation as one of the leading foal auctions in Europe with a large international buyer base. The motto “The Power of Performance” is bearing fruit, as evidenced by the large number of successful sport horses that changed hands as foals during one of the editions of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. Think of the horses: Glamor Girl, Hernandez TN, Jameson Rs2 and Boston STH. It is no surprise that the auction is so popular with breeders and buyers!

Additional online auction

This year a record number of registrations came in, so that the board, in consultation with the selection committee members, has decided to organize an extra auction. The collection will be online from Tuesday 22 August and the online auction will start on Friday 25 August at 10 a.m. and end on Tuesday 29 August at 8 p.m. Thirty jumping and dressage foals will be auctioned. The photo-video days for this collection and those of the September auction will be held on Monday 7 and Tuesday 8 August at Stal Wezenberg in IJsselmuiden.

 

Azure SDH Z auction topper for 185,000 euros at CSI Ommen

/in /by

The five-year-old top talent Azure SDH Z proved to be the auction topper in the auction of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag and Hendrik-Jan Schuttert Sporthorses on Saturday evening. For 185,000 euros the Apardi daughter leaves for the United States and comes into the ownership of the prestigious Double H Farm. 'Coincidentally', exactly one week after their legendary HH Azur retired, five-year-old Azure SDH Z now comes into the ownership of Double H Farm. The most expensive foal was Torre W - a son of Balou du Reventon. This one sold for 28,000 euros and goes to the stable of Peter Charles.

Seven foals and four particularly talented show jumpers came under the auction hammer of Koen Olaerts on the summer Saturday evening of CSI Ommen. With the top price of 185,000 euro for Azure SDH Z, this five-year-old mare became the auction topper of the showjumping horses, while the highest bid for a foal came from Torre W. This exceptional colt by Balou du Reventon out of the sister of Emerald and Nixon van 't Meulenhof was knocked off at 28,000 euro. At the stable of Peter Charles, Torre W will get a wonderful opportunity and will join his sire Balou du Reventon. Whether Harry, Scarlett or Sienna Charles will soon take the reins, the future will tell.

"A wonderfully beautiful evening with lots of atmosphere and good prizes. We are very pleased that the jumpers are going to several good stables and in particular that Azure is going to such a top stable as Double H Farm”, says Hendrik-Jan Schuttert. The committee of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag can also look back on the result with satisfaction. "A very nice foretaste of the foal auction in September," says chairman Arjan van der Waaij. "We once again had a very pleasant cooperation with family Schuttert and the team of CSI Ommen and are very content with the auction result achieved."

Among the show jumpers, not only Azure SDH Z was popular. The five-year-old Harley VDL daughter Nikita van de Driehoekhoeve - an own breeding product of the Schuttert family - also saw a lot of interest and was knocked off at 75,000 euros. The talent of the rough diamond No Surrender (Jardonnay VDL x Classe VDL) also caught the eye and this five-year-old gelding was knocked off at 65,000 euros. This brought the average of the riding horses to 94,000 euros.

A nice sum was also raised for children's farm Ommen. The auction item was a pregnancy of one of Handelshuis Schuttert's sows and was sold for 4,400 euro.

Mowgli VOD son outlier with € 55,000 during well-attended Prinsjesdag auction

/in /by

“The Power of Performance” is the motto of Prinsjesdag and this was not denied during the auction on Tuesday evening, September 20. Chairman Arjan van der Waaij: “The auction got off to a slow start, but after the break the international buyers were able to appreciate the fantastic foals well. The auction was well attended by an international buyers audience, both physically and online. A hybrid auction remains an attractive way to market foals.”

Canadians were in the market for the interestingly bred Sir Mowgli SVN Van 't Studutch (Mowgli VOD x Diamond Hit) bred by Stal Studutch and Stal Van Nobelen. They had no less than € 55,000 left for the full brother of the GP dressage horse Hot Hit, who recently won the GP in Saumur.

The second money was paid for Vainqueur's son, Supérieur. His grandmother Fantasie is at the origin of several sport horses. He found a new owner for € 44,000 in a well-known international stallion breeder.

The most expensive jumping foal was Balou's Girl W (Balou du Reventon x Kashmir van 't Schuttershof) out of the famous Roosakker mare line. She found a new owner for € 38,000.

The half-brother of the KWPN approved Defender Z, Shamrock VDS (Grandorado x Padinus) raised € 26,000.

The average of the dressage foals was €13,756. The average for the jumping foals was €13,128.

The countdown has begun… Tuesday only the very best at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag

/in /by

Two world champions and one vice-world champion have delivered several foals for the exclusive collection of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag for next Tuesday, September 20th. Ermelo traditionally hosts the elite foal auction on the 3rd Tuesday of September; now the 30th edition of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, founded in 1992.

The selection committees have put together an impressive collection in recent months. Jumping and dressage foals with great models, excellent movements and lots of charisma. And above all, foals with the best genetics; sport damlines, proven genes and young élan. In addition, several foals are closely related to horses that have recently achieved world-class performances.

Glamourdale foals

Take for example Charlotte Fry's world champion Glamourdale; this spectacular black stallion turned the dressage world upside down in Herning by winning two gold medals and causing goose bumps for many dressage enthusiasts. This Tuesday, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag will offer two excellent foals by Glamourdale.

First, Suntresse Texel - a daughter of Glamourdale out of a dam by Glock's Toto Jr x Jazz. This striking filly comes from the well-known breeding farm of Stoeterij van der Linde from De Cocksdorp, Texel. In addition, the colt Star On Firedale MCB; this is a son of the phenomenal Glamourdale paired with Wynton and Ferro. Furthermore, Star On Firedale MCB was bred from the famous lineage of Jazz.

Hermes represented

Another medallist from Herning is also represented in the dressage collection: Dinja van Liere's two-time bronze medallist Hermes. His daughter Si Diva Corieta Texel was also bred out of the famous Texel breeding and dances through the arena like royalty. She is remarkably light-footed, charming and has beautiful balance.

Another World Champion...

The second world champion who produced offspring in the dressage collection does not come from the championships in Herning, but from Ermelo. For the second year in a row, the Negro son Kjento won the world title for young dressage horses. Foal Auction Prinsjesdag offers no less than three foals by Kjento: colt Syracuse B (dam’s sire Grand Galaxy Win), colt Stromae T (dam’s sire Charmeur) and filly Sweet Murona (dam’s sire Gock's Toto Jr).

Another World Championships top scorer with Prinsjesdag foals is Las Vegas. This spectacular former Pavo Cup winner fell just short of the podium at the World Championships, but impressed again. His foals Salucy (mv. Metall) and Sylvester de la Vie (mv. Eye Catcher) will be auctioned on Tuesday.

World Cup Silver in Herning

As every year, the jumping collection is packed with performance from proven sport stallions and the world's best damlines. One striking example is the colt by Quel Homme de Hus. Ridden by Jérôme Guery, the Quidam de Revel son Quel Homme de Hus jumped convincingly to individual silver at the World Championships in Herning. However, offspring of Quel Homme de Hus are scarce, but with the impressive colt Quintodecimo SK Z (mv. Chacco Blue), Foal Auction Prinsjesdag managed to capture a son of Quel Homme. Quintodecimo SK Z is bred out of the sister of Hong Kong Grand Prix winner Chablis.

GCT Rome winner Mumbai

Recent successes also came from the grey stallion Mumbai. Ridden by Christian Kukuk, the striking Diamant de Semilly son recently won the Global Champions Tour Grand Prix of Rome. The Gin Flip de Muze colt William Lawson de W&S was bred out of Mumbai's three-quarter sister; in fact, dam Snolle Bolleke JW van de Moerhoeve is a daughter of Diamant de Semilly out of Mumbai's half-sister and Lillie Keenan's full sister Opium JW van de Moerhoeve.

For his part, Eldorado van de Zeshoek TN recently signed on to sire the winner of perhaps the toughest Grand Prix of 2022; the Rolex Grand Slam Grand Prix at Spruce Meadows, Calgary. His daughter Killer Queen VDM jumped with Daniel Deusser to the top prize of 1 million Canadian dollars - over 750,000 euros. Eldorado van de Zeshoek TN also has two offspring in the collection, Sweet Caroline Reuvekamps (mv. For Pleasure) and Sweet Sue Reuvekamps (mv. Chellano Z). The latter is the full sister of reigning Dutch champion Highway TN ridden by Willem Greve.
