Prinsjesdag auctions five Vagabond de la Pomme foals and a Toulon son out of half-sister Vagabond

Vagabond de la Pomme belongs to the absolute world top under the French rider Pénélope Leprévost.

With Pénélope Leprévost, Vagabond took second in the 2015 World Cup Final in Las Vegas, second in the five-star Basel Grand Prix and also third in the Chantilly GP and the Paris GP.

On Tuesday 13 September in Ermelo, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag will auction five Vagabond de la Pomme colts, namely Vuvuzela Z (ds. Cambridge), Le Vagabond W (ds. Emilion), L'Chaim (ds. Gentleman), Leonidas van de Crumelhaeve (pls. Sam R) and lammtarra (pl. Untouchable Z).

Also the colt foal Tivoli Z (Toulon x Nabab de Rêve) deserves your attention. This particularly appealing colt is bred out of the mare Hermione de la Pomme, who jumps internationally successfully under Maikel van der Vleuten and already produced the KWPN-approved stallion Hotspot. In addition, Hermione de la Pomme is the half-sister of Vagabond de la Pomme, as she is also a daughter of top mare Sauterelle de la Pomme.

Prinsjesdag auctions full sister of high-profile KWPN reserve champion Ireland


Ireland was one of the eye-catchers at the KWPN Stallion Inspection, but his career was not to last long. The reserve champion of the KWPN Stallion Inspection, purchased by Andreas Helgstrand, died of colic. With the filly Lanzarote (Dream Boy x Jazz), Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has still managed to capture the genes of Ireland.

Just like the high-profile Ireland descends Lanzarote from the foundation sire in the making, Dream Boy out of the well-known mare Zaragoza by Stoeterij Broere. This Jazz daughter is in turn the full sister of the KWPN-approved stallion Bristol, who was successful in dressage under Kirsten Beckers. Dream Boy is now a leader in both the stallion and mare inspections and his offspring are also starting to break through in the sport. Under Hans Peter Minderhoud, Dream Boy impresses in the Small Tour.

With the filly Luresia WD Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has managed to capture a foal related to Dream Boy. The Charmeur daughter, bred by Willem Dekker, is closely related to the Vivaldi son Dream Boy through great-granddam Iresia. The foundation sire Vivaldi – sire of the entire top three of the Pavo Cup Final for six-year-olds – is also well represented in the dressage collection. The Johnson Son Lewis Utopia comes from the same dam line as Vivaldi, the most interesting filly Latin music KL is a granddaughter and filly via father Le Vivaldi La Femme Ter Kwincke carries Vivaldi in the second generation and descends from the world famous Grand Prix stallion and dressage horse sire Briar.

Frederik Cattebeke and Caesar win the Grand Prix of Lier

Another Grand Prix victory for the Belgian Frederik Cattebeke and Caesar (Lucky Boy x Corland), who was sold at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. The only nine-year-old gray took the victory in the two-star Grand Prix of Lier. This combination previously won the Grand Prix of Hasselt. A successful couple with a bright future ahead!

Foal Auction Prinsjesdag publishes veterinary reports

For the first time, potential buyers already have insight into the veterinary reports of the foals that will be auctioned during the Foal Auction Prinsjesdag on 13 and 14 September. The findings of the clinical examination by recognized veterinary surgeons can be found on the website www.prinsjesdag.eu. This makes Foal Auction Prinsjesdag the first auction in the Netherlands that goes one step further in openness.
“We do this to provide the best possible transparent picture of the auction foals. For each foal that we have selected, we believe that the accompanying report is good enough for him or her to be auctioned, taking into account that they are very young foals where a lot can still change in terms of development," says Arjan van der Waaij, chairman of the foal auction in Ermelo.

The jumping foals will be auctioned on Tuesday 13 September, the dressage foals on Wednesday 14 September. A new embryo has also been added to www.embryoauctions.com, a branch of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. It is an embryo of For Romance (Fürst Romancier x Sir Donnerhall I) out of the half-sister of Desperados FRH, winner of individual bronze and team gold at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The online auction closes on August 28 at 8 p.m.

Bonne Chance CW and Janika Sprunger not start in Olympic individual final due to regulations

Although Bonne Chance CW and Janika Sprunger qualified for the Olympic individual final in Rio de Janeiro, the Swiss combination will not start. According to the regulations, only three riders per country are allowed to start in the final and because all four Swiss had finished on nine penalties, chef d'équipe Andy Kistler had to decide.

“With a great lap from Bonnie and me, we close the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro,” says Janika Sprunger. “I was so hoping for a spot in the final next Friday – for Kompi and for all the people who support us and believe in us. This was my biggest dream, my biggest goal! All Swiss riders finished on nine penalty points and Andy Kistler had to decide which three riders would go to the final. Bonne and I weren't here. A very difficult moment for us because Bonnie and I really deserved a chance in the final, but so did the other three!”

Matches Olympic finalists and Prinsjesdag collection striking

The bloodlines of the Olympic finalists in show jumping in Rio de Janeiro and the auction collection of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag have many similarities. For example, Prinsjesdag offers a colt out of the three-quarter sister of Dejavu (Bassem Hassan Mohammed), a filly out of the half-sister of Emerald (Harrie Smolders) and a colt out of the direct line of Bonne Chance CW (Janika Sprunger).

The colt foal Qui a Vu van 't Merelsnest is a genetically very striking specimen. His sire Vigo d'Arsouilles was the 2010 World Champion under Philippe Le Jeune and his dam is Lacoste van de Bucxtale – a daughter of the Heartbreaker son Zambesi. This makes Lacoste a three-quarter sister of the Heartbreaker son Dejavu, who convincingly qualified for the individual final of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro under Bassem Hassan Mohammed. Olympian Zilverstar T (Nicola Philippaerts) also comes from this direct dam line.
The filly is also unique quartina DC – a daughter of the foundation sire Comme Il Faut out of the Nabab de Rêve daughter Intense van 't Meulenhof. The mother of Quartina DC is none other than the half-sister of Emerald, who will compete with Harrie Smolders for individual medal of honor on Friday.
Levisto Blue RV Z is a colt by Levisto Z x Mr. Blue and is closely related to Janika Sprunger's topper Bonne Chance CW – also auctioned at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. Levisto Blue's great-granddam Kalista – full sister of Audi's Jikke – is the granddam of Bonne Chance CW, who also qualified for the individual final. Unfortunately, Bonne Chance CW will not be allowed to start as three other Swiss riders were also qualified. According to the regulations, only three combinations per country are allowed to start in the final.

In addition, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag selected two offspring of Olympic finalists. The colt foal Vegas is a son of Maikel van der Vleutens two-time Olympian Verdi out of a Heartbreaker dam. Although things did not go as hoped for the Dutch team, Maikel van der Vleuten and Verdi did not miss a beat. With only two time errors, the foundation sire Verdi qualified for the Olympic final. Four years ago in London, Verdi also entered the last day without jumping errors. A very special colt is also Quest SZ – one of the very few descendants of the high-profile Quabri de l'Isle. The beautiful dark chestnut of Pedro Veniss jumped phenomenal every day in Rio and convincingly qualified for the battle for the individual medals.

With three offspring in the individual final, Cornet Obolensky and Kannan are the main suppliers in Rio de Janeiro. Foal Auction Prinsjesdag offers no fewer than five foals from Cornet Obolensky and two direct offspring from Kannan. Kannan is also represented several times in the dam line of the Prinsjesdag foals. In Barron (Lucy Davis) and Fit For Fun (Luciana Diniz) For Pleasure produces two direct offspring for the final and with Fine Lady (Eric Lamaze), First Choice (Yann Candele) and Fibonacci (Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum) three grandchildren. Prinsjesdag has included no fewer than four direct descendants of the legendary For Pleasure in its collection.

Bronze medalist Desperados FRH well represented at Prinsjesdag and Embryoauction.com

Under Kristina Bröring-Sprehe, the heavy eye-catcher Desperados FRH danced to the individual bronze medal and the very convincing gold team medal at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro last week. Starting this week, Embryoauction.com is auctioning an embryo of top talent For Romance I out of Donna Musica – the half-sister of the dressage phenomenon Desperados FRH! Foal Auction Prinsjesdag will auction the filly Latinmusik KL – a Le Vivaldi daughter out of the half-sister of Desperados FRH on Wednesday 14 September. Two colts by the De Niro son will also be auctioned.

Desperados FRH has been convincing on all fronts for many years and endorsed his unprecedented talents with his fantastic performance at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. With 87.14%, Desperados FRH and his German rider Kristina Bröring-Sprehe impressed in the Freestyle to Music and took the individual bronze medal. With the German team, Desperados FRH and Bröring-Sprehe were awarded the gold medal after great performances in the Grand Prix and Grand Prix Spécial.

In addition to being a phenomenon in the sport, the De Niro son Desperados FRH is also a true foundation sire in the making. His oldest offspring are already competing at a high level in dressage and his sons are approved by many studbooks.
The dam line of Desperados is also very strong. Donna Musica – the mother of this embryo – also produced the stallion Frascino. This Fürst Wilhelm son is approved by Oldenburg, Westfalen and the Südd. Verbände and designated by the KWPN. The well-known Grand Prix dressage horse Don Diego of the Spaniard Juan Matute Guiman also comes from this line.

The foals related to Desperados FRH at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag are:

Latin music KL (Le Vivaldi x Don Frederico), filly

Prinsjesdag foal Landal G reserve champion National Foal Inspection

The impressive colt Landal G (Ghandi x Rousseau) has been declared reserve champion of dressage foals at the National Foal Inspection in Ermelo. Foal Auction Prinsjesdag has included this very beautiful foal by MA de Groot from Erp in its 2016 auction collection.

On Wednesday 14 September, the very strong moving Landal G will be auctioned at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag in Ermelo. Landal G is a descendant of the talented Bojengel son Ghandi out of the star mare Wamonda (by Rousseau), who already produced the Prinsjesdag foal Kiki G (by Vivaldi) last year.

The National Mare Inspection for Foal Auction Prinsjesdag was more successful. In addition to the championship title of the dressage mare Iveniz Texel RS2, the four-year-old jumping mare Heroniki (Tangelo van de Zuuthoeve x Burggraaf) of H. Balvert from Ouderkerk aan de Amstel finished in fourth place among the four to seven-year-old jumping mares.
