Prinsjesdag top talent Hannelinde in Excellent Dressage Sales

The 2016 VSN champion Hannelinde (Dream Boy x Sunny-Boy) will be auctioned on April 16 at the prestigious Excellent Dressage Sales. Four years ago, in 2012, Hannelinde was already a very striking foal at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. Imperial de Baian (Everdale x Jazz), also auctioned at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, is in the collection of the Van Olst Sales – an auction that will take place next March 25.

The 4-year-old mare Hannelinde brilliantly won the VSN final. With a 9.5 for trot and 9's for canter, rideability and general impression, Hannelinde made a huge impression. The selection committee of the Excellent Dressage Sales – Joop van Uytert, Nico Witte, Tim Coomans and Joep Schellekens – were also impressed and added Hannelinde to their collection.

Watch Hannelinde's auction video below:

The Everdale son Imperial de Baian won't be three years old until mid-July, but is already showing fantastic quality under saddle. His dam D'Avance de Baian is none other than the full sister of Adelinde Cornelissen's famous Jerich Parzival. The gelding Imperial de Baian was recently declared ster by the KWPN with 80 points for both conformation and movement.

Prinsjesdag toppers at the front of Grand Prix Doha and De Peelbergen

DOHA / KRONENBERG - Bonne Chance CW and Wimphof's Hinde once again kept the name of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag high at Grand Prix level last weekend. At the CSI5* show in Doha, the phenomenal chestnut Bonne Chance CW jumped to sixth place under Janika Sprunger, while Wimphof's Hinde and Marriët Hoekstra were third in the national 1.50m Grand Prix at Equestrian Center De Peelbergen.

Bonne Chance CW (Baloubet du Rouet x Cambridge) under Janika Sprunger belongs to the absolute world top after she won many Grand Prix last year, including the CSI5* Grand Prix of Falsterbo. The bronze team medalist of the European Championship in Aachen again showed her enormous qualities in Doha and took sixth place in the Grand Prix. Previously, Bonne Chance CW also finished in sixth place in the 1.50m of Doha.

In the national 1.50m Grand Prix at Equestrian Center De Peelbergen, Wimphof's Hinde (Berlin x Heartbreaker) finished in a handsome third place. The topper of Marriët Hoekstra has already shown enormous potential for the highest work in recent months and impressed with her debut in the CSI3* Grand Prix of Indoor Drachten. The third place at De Peelbergen is another nice confirmation of the potential of the breeding product of Haras de la Vie.

Zangersheide approval for Irish Whiskey Z

Irish Whiskey Z, auctioned at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, was approved for breeding by Studbook Zangersheide last weekend. The son of top progenitor Darco x Voltaire was already approved in Westphalia in November 2015 and came into the hands of Stoeterij Zangersheide.

Like the 1.30m show jumper Costa Z (by Carthago), Irish Whiskey Z is bred out of the elite mare Votoska Z (by Voltaire). Grandmother is the well-known preferent performance mare Droska (Notaris x Antonio), who produced eight jumping horses at 1.35m to 1.55m level. Droska is the dam of the KWPN stallion Pierrot and the 1.55m jumping AES-approved stallion Royal-Rose.

Darabel tenth in ZZ-Zwaar Indoor Championships

ERMELO - Darabel (Westpoint x Don Schufro), auctioned at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, under Vai Bruntink, made an excellent impression in the ZZ-Zwaar class at the KNHS Indoor Championships in Ermelo. The just eight-year-old chestnut scored 65,43% and 64,25% and finished in tenth place.

Darabel was bred by Willem Goesten from Berkel Enschot and came up for auction at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag in 2008. The mare of Stal 104 later took part in the World Championships for Young Horses in Verden under Vai Bruntink and was honored last year as national champion in the keur and elite mares at the National Mare Inspection. The now eight-year-old mare continues to develop well and seems to hold great promise for the future. The tenth place at the KNHS Indoor Championships is another step in the right direction!

Arc de Triomphe and Alicante impress at Jumping Amsterdam

Arc de Triomphe and Alicante impress at Jumping Amsterdam

AMSTERDAM - Two horses auctioned at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, both born in 2005, jumped fantastic last weekend in the tough classes of Jumping Amsterdam. Arc de Triomphe showed his enormous abilities under Frank Schuttert, while Alicante showed enormous potential with Jérôme Guery.

After a strong performance in the 1.45m on Friday evening, Frank Schuttert chose to start the Arc de Triomphe (Triomphe de Muze x Calvados) bred by the Van Straaten family in the CSI4* Grand Prix of Amsterdam. For the highly successful Arc de Triomphe, this was his first appearance in a four-star Grand Prix. The son of Triomphe de Muze showed his enormous scope and quality, but now got two more minor faults. We will be hearing a lot more from Frank Schuttert and Arc de Triomphe this year!

Under the Belgian top rider Jérôme Guery, Alicante (Casall x Indoctro) – bred by Stoeterij 't Maalwater – also made an excellent impression in the RAI. Besides excellent performances in the 1.40m on Friday and the 1.45m on Sunday, Alicante impressed in the 1.50m on Saturday evening. Alicante showed enormous potential in the prestigious 1.50m YACHT Prize in front of sold-out stands. The brand new combination then got one more jumping fault, but Jérôme Guery and Alicante left a promising impression!

Bonne Chance CW once again proves class in Zurich

Bonne Chance CW once again proves class in Zurich

ZURICH - Bonne Chance CW showed her worth again last weekend for its own Swiss audience at the five-star competition in Zurich. The Baloubet du Rouet daughter, who was auctioned at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, was not entered in the Grand Prix by Janika Sprunger, but did jump well with one in the secondary classes.

Bonne Chance CW (Baloubet du Rouet x Cambridge) already started the competition with a nice sixth place in a 1.45m class, before finishing in the prizes again a day later in the 1.50m class. Bonne Chance CW is once again in good shape for 2016!

Bonne Chance
