Exclusive Hickstead embryo to Sweden for 34,000 euros

Via Embryoauction.com, the very exclusive embryo of Hickstead out of the full sister of Quod'Coeur de la Loge was sold to Sweden for no less than 34,000 euros. This makes this unique embryo the most expensive embryo auctioned via Embryoauction.com since its launch in August 2015.

A Swedish buyer eventually took the lead in the bidding war for the embryo of the legendary Hickstead – the 2008 Olympic champion under the saddle of Eric Lamaze. The available frozen semen of the sadly deceased Hickstead is scarce, but via the advanced ICSI method we have managed to collect an embryo of this world-famous stallion.
The mother of the embryo is none other than Tsarina de la Loge – a daughter of Ideal de la Loge and the full sister of Quod'Coeur de la Loge. Ideal de la Loge belonged to the absolute world top under Frenchman Roger-Yves Bost and won, among other things, two Global Champions Tour Grand Prix. Quod'Coeur de la Loge is currently one of the best in the world and recently won the Global Champions Tour in Mexico City under Roger-Yves Bost.

In 2005 he came up for auction at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag and in 2016 he is on his way to the absolute world top in show jumping: the eleven-year-old stallion Alicante impressed on all fronts in the Longines Global Champions Tour of Miami Beach last weekend. Under the top Belgian rider Jérôme Guery, Alicante jumped in a fantastic way to seventh and eighth place in the richly decorated five-star 1.55m classes on Miami Beach.

Alicante was born in 2005 at Stoeterij 't Maalwater owned by Ron Nowee and is a son of the famous Casall out of the mare Texas M (Indoctro x Lagos). As a three-year-old Alicante earned his breeding license with the KWPN and was covered by the HBC Stable. After being expertly trained by Marc Houtzager and Julia Kayser, Alicante was sold to the Belgium-based Israeli horse dealer Tal Milstein. He had Alicante ridden by his stable rider Chloé Vranken and then placed him with the Belgian top rider Jérôme Guery. Since then, Alicante has only been going uphill and the fantastic performance at Miami Beach only confirms that. Again a confirmation of the motto of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag: The Power of Performance.

Meanwhile, in Villers, France, Vicomte Breteuil, another Prinsjesdag product showed itself. Nine-year-old Caesar (Lucky Boy x Corland) jumped under the Belgian Frederik Cattebeke to a fine sixth place in the CSI2* 1.45m Grand Prix. Again a promising horse who is at the beginning of his international Grand Prix career and of which we will be hearing a lot more!
