Rousseau earns 'Keur' predicate at KWPN

/in , , , /by

Rousseau
DEN BOSCH - Next week at the KWPN Stallion Inspection in Den Bosch, an old acquaintance of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag will be honored: the now eighteen-year-old Rousseau. This Ferro son is approved by numerous studbooks, including the KWPN, and is famous for his many well-performing offspring. In Den Bosch, Rousseau will receive his well-deserved 'Keur' predicate from the KWPN.

In 1998 Rousseau (Ferro x Roemer) came up for auction at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag and now eighteen years later he is a real celebrity. Rousseau came into American hands via the KWPN Select Sale in 2000 and he has been at stud in the United States since 2006. Rousseau produced many approved stallions and successful Grand Prix dressage horses, including the KWPN-approved Ampère, the foundation sire Blue Hors Zack, Patrick van der Meer's new A-frame horse Zippo and other successful Grand Prix horses such as Watoeschi, Wilco V, Eventz Zamacho and Harmony's fiorano.

Edinburgh takes victory Stallion Competition Zuidbroek

ZUIDBROEK - The KWPN-approved Edinburgh 'finally' took the victory in the Blom Stallion Competition in Zuidbroek. Edinburgh and Kristian Houwen were in third place in both Ermelo and Roosendaal, but in Zuidbroek they crowned their potential with a victory. Edinburgh was auctioned in 2009 at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag.

Breeders Evert Meijer and Gerard Lindeboom from Dalfsen bred Edinburgh – son of Vleut out of the Darco daughter Olympic Queen. Loyal investor on Prinsjesdag Jos Althuijzen purchased the Vleut son at the foal auction and now co-owns Tyson's extremely talented cousin with Jos Houwen. Both at the age of four and five, Edinburgh won the KNHS/KWPN Stallion Competition under Kristian Houwen and Edinburgh will once again enter the final competition in Den Bosch as one of the favorites this year. It is also striking that Edinburgh won the stallion competition in Zuidbroek in both 2014 and 2015!
“It was about time again”, laughed Kristian Houwen after his victory with Edinburgh. "It's great that Edinburgh has won here again, it's a great collaborator."

Foal Auction Prinsjesdag congratulates the breeders Gerard Lindeboom and Evert Meijer, the rider Kristian Houwen and the owners Jos Althuijzen and Jos Houwen with this great result!

Jérôme Guery takes over Alicante reins

Jérôme Guery takes over Alicante reins

The Belgian top rider Jérôme Guery has taken over the reins from the eleven-year-old KWPN-approved stallion Alicante. Owner Tal Milstein recently entrusted Alicante to Abdel Saïd, but the wildly successful Jérôme Guery now gets the chance to introduce the gray sold at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag.

Alicant was born at Stoeterij 't Maalwater and is a son of Casall x Indoctro. For years he was at stud at the HBC Stable and he went through life as Alicante HBC. His oldest offspring show a lot of quality; they have technique, reflexes and ability. Alicante started its international career under the saddle of Julia Kayser and Marc Houtzager, which led to the sale to Tal Milstein exactly one year ago. The Belgian Chloé Vranken allowed Alicante to gain further international experience and now Jérôme Guery can take the next step with Alicante.
