Prinsjesdag jumping foals almost 14,000 euros on average

The Foal Auction Prinsjesdag again breaks its record with a total yield of the jumping foals of almost € 900,000. The average price was almost 14,000 on average. The two-day auction kicked off today with a high-quality show jumping collection, which attracted enthusiasm from all over the world. Auction topper was For Capitol (For Pleasure x Cero I). This stallion fetched no less than 48,000 euros. The top foal from Harm Thormählen's breeding will remain in Germany and go to Elmgestüt Drei Eichen.

Fourteen particularly high-quality foals fetched 20,000 euros and more. QuickStead (Quickly de Kreisker x Hickstead, breeder OB Schoof in Hedwigenkoog) will get a stable in Switzerland for 40,000 euros, also born in Germany.

In short, a top auction. VP chairman Arjan van der Waaij cannot help but be very satisfied. “Last year the collection was already very good, this year perhaps even better. We have a very good product and we notice that customers are finding us better and better. The buyers come from all over the world, even from Australia, America and Italy, and large sports stables are here live. Katharina Offel also bought one. People know that the story is true, that the foals come from excellent performance lines. The foals also have to be top notch, otherwise it won't work."

Van der Waaij emphasizes that the auction is pleased that breeders entrust their foals to 'Prinsjesdag'. “They have to grant their foals, but on the other hand we also market them well for them. I hope that tomorrow we will be able to achieve such a result during the auction of the dressage foals. There are already many registrations from buyers and the VIP tables are sold out. We are looking forward to."
