Foal Auction Prinsjesdag closes registration procedure

The National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has completed its last selection days and the registration procedure has ended. 54 jumping foals and 38 dressage foals have been selected from very interesting bloodlines.

“We are very pleased with this year's offer. The quality is again very high and perhaps even better than previous editions," says NVP chairman Arjan van der Waaij.

Last year 96 foals were auctioned, currently 92 have been selected. “Should we come across an exceptional foal that we are not allowed to let go, we still have a few Wild Cards to forgive.”

In the dressage direction, both younger and proven stallions are represented, such as De Niro, Vivaldi, Johnson, Glock's Toto jr, Governor, Ferdeaux and Ferdinand. In the jumping direction there are foals from the Grand Prix top stars Glock's London, Chaman, Comme Il Faut, Cornet Obolensky, Kannan, Plot Blue, Quickly de Kreisker, Vagabond de la Pomme and Levisto Z and from younger promises such as Dakar VDL, E -Star, Etoulon VDL and Latour TN.

Anyone who wants to view all the foals is most welcome during the photo/video days at Equestrian Center Gert van den Hoorn in Kootwijk. The show jumping foals will be photographed on Friday 31 July, and the dressage foals will be next on Saturday 1 August.

 

Great performance from Wimphof's Hinde and Alicante

ASTEN / WINCH – Wimphof's Hinde and Alicante HBC showed up again last weekend. The eight-year-old Berlin daughter Wimphof's Hinde jumped to third place in the 1.40 m class at CSI2* Asten and the KWPN-approved stallion Alicante finished seventh in the 1.45 m class in Lier, Belgium.

Marriët Hoekstra and Wimphof's Hinde (Berlin x Heartbreaker) are also continuing their international successes. The only eight-year-old mare jumps clear every time and crowned her weekend in Asten with a third place in the 1.40 m (see video). The descendant of the Balia stock from Haras de la Vie breeding was the auction topper of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag in 2007 and was purchased by C. Kramer van Wimphof.

Alicante HBC (Casall x Indoctro) was previously successful under Julia Kayser, but was sold to the leading stable of Tal Milstein early this year. Under the Belgian Chloé Vranken, the breeding product of Ronald Nowee from Oude Niedorp jumps successfully at 1.45 m level. Last weekend the KWPN-approved stallion finished seventh in Lier.

Wimphof's Hinde and Alicante HBC performed excellent at last weekend's international shows in Asten and Lier. The eight year old Berlin-daughter Wimphof's Hinde became 3rd in the 1.40 m-class at CSI2* Asten and the KWPN-approved stallion Alicante ended up 7th in the 1.45 m in Lier, Belgium.

Marriët Hoekstra and Wimphof's Hinde (Berlin x Heartbreaker) keep on performing successfully at international shows. The only eight years old mare jumps clear on a weekly basis and the 3rd place in Asten was the highlight of her weekend. Hinde is bred out of the famous 'Balia'-damline and bred by Haras de la Vie. In 2007 Wimphof's Hinde was top-seller at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag and was bought by C. Kramer of Wimphof.

Alicante HBC (Casall x Indoctro) was educated by Julia Kayser, but was sold to the prestigious stables of Tal Milstein earlier this year.

Five-star victory for Arc de Triomphe

SANKT GALLEN – Frank Schuttert and Arc de Triomphe (Triomphe de Muze x Calvados) recorded their first five star victory at CSIO Sankt Gallen yesterday. In yesterday's 1.45 m class, which was held over two phases, Schuttert triumphed and the 2005 op Foal Auction Prinsjesdag auctioned Arc de Triomphe.

Arc de Triomphe has been one of the showpieces of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag for years. He twice won the VION Cup – the Dutch championship for young show jumpers – and many international victories and top prizes followed. With the victory in the 1.45 m in Sankt Gallen, the Arc de Triomphe, fully trained by Frank Schuttert himself, has also proven to be competitive at a five-star level (!). Arc de Triomphe is a son of Triomphe de Muze and the international top mare Una Bella S (Calvados x Libero H). The Van Straaten family from Den Ham bred the successful gelding, which came into the hands of Frank Schuttert in 2005.

For top talent Bonne Chance CW (Baloubet du Rouet x Cambridge) and Janika Sprunger it was a clear first phase and a slight error in the second phase.

Their first victory at CSIO5*-level is a fact: Frank Schuttert and Arc de Triomphe (Triomphe de Muze x Calvados) won the 1.45m yesterday at CSIO Sankt Gallen. Arc de Triomphe was sold at Foal Auction Prince's Day 2005 and has been a super star ever since.

As a youngster Arc de Triomphe already won the VION Cup twice – Dutch championships for young horses. After that lots of international victories and placings keep following. With the victory in the 1.45 m at Sankt Gallen Frank Schuttert and Arc de Triomphe proved to be competitive at even the highest level: CSIO5*. Family Van Straaten bred Arc de Triomphe out of the international show jumping mare Una Bella S (Calvados x Libero H).

For the extremely talented Bonne Chance CW (Baloubet du Rouet x Cambridge) and Janika Sprunger there was a clear first phase and a light rail in the second phase.

Prinsjesdag stallions Highlander and Hervé d'Ive VDL approved by KWPN

ERMELO – Two colts auctioned at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag 2012 have already grown into KWPN-approved stallions. The Numero Uno son Highlander (ds. Vingino) and the Vigo d'Arsouilles son Hervé d'Ive VDL (ds. Indoctro) both obtained their breeding license from the KWPN. With 81.5 points, Highlander is one of the highlights of his year and Hervé d'Ive VDL was also rewarded with several 8s.

Monique Lamers-Couwenberg from Heide bred Highlander out of the Vingino daughter Ditty Dante C. The Prinsjesdag selection committee was already charmed by the blood-bred Highlander, who, in addition to top stallions in his pedigree, also comes from a top dam line. Great-granddam Citty (by Ramiro) is the foundation of countless international show jumpers. Loyal Prinsjesdag buyers Jos Althuyzen and Egbert Schep were also charmed by the flexible gray and bought it.
With an 8.5 for canter and an 8.5 for scope, Highlander stood out above his contemporaries. In addition, he scored at least an 8 for all jumping components and his total came to 81.5.

Hervé d'Ive VDL (Vigo d'Arsouilles x Indoctro) was born with Isabelle Van Eeckhout in Outer-Ninove, Belgium. In addition to the Prinsjesdag selection committee, the Van de Lageweg family of VDL Stud was also impressed by the strongly built chestnut. VDL Stud therefore bought the Vigo d'Arsouilles son at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag.
Hervé d'Ive's grandmother Almfee (Almé x Gotthard) jumped at 1.45 m level herself and is the foundation of a large number of international show jumpers. A similar career lies ahead for Hervé d'Ive as well. The fox scored an 8 for his beautiful technique and an 8 for his generous scope. It is not without reason that his talent as a jumping horse was rewarded with an 8 and his total score came to 76 points.

The prestigious KWPN studbook has approved the Prinsjesdag sold stallion Hervé d'Ive VDL (Vigo d'Arsouilles x Indoctro) and Highlander (Numero Uno x Vingino). With a top-score of 81.5 points and an 8.5 for scope and canter Highlander was one of the favourites. This son of Numero Uno was bred by Monique Lamers-Couwenberg and bought at Prinsjesdag 2012 by Egbert Schep and Jos Althuyzen. At the same auction in 2012 VDL Stud bought the Vigo d'Arsouilles-son Hervé d'Ive VDL from the famous Belgian breeder Isabelle Van Eeckhout. Hervé d'Ive VDL was rewarded with an 8 for jumping technique, scope and talent as a show jumper.

Sister II died of colic

Yesterday the mare Sister II van Emmy de Jeu died of colic. This Skorpio daughter was closely related to top mare Sister de Jeu.

Ice de Jeu (by Chagall D&R) is the colt of Sisther II and has been selected for Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. Unfortunately for this handsome colt, his mother passed away yesterday as a result of colic. Sister II was eighteen years old.

During the first round of the Dutch Championships Jumping for Young Riders, Frank Schuttert came in second with the Arc de Triomphe (Triomph de Muze x Calvados), bought at the National Foal Auction. Arc de Triomphe was bred by the Van Straaten family from Den Ham and has been owned by the Schuttert family since the auction.

De Niro: king of dressage horses

More than a million euros. The descendants of the twenty-year-old Hanoverian stallion De Niro have so far won this in dressage competitions.

In BIT 204 a report is devoted to this stallion. The National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has been selecting foals from this stallion for several years now. In combination with good maternal lines, the offspring show that they are successful. The motto of the Foal Auction Prinsjesdag 'The power of performance' is once again proven.
