1. How is Jameson's mother? <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cAtilinda (keur, pref, sport, v. Negro) is a top mare with a good character. She finished in the top ten at the National Mare Inspection and is also doing very well in sport. She now runs the Small Tour and is being prepared for the heavy work at home. Atilinda has, besides Jameson, a large number of other promising offspring of Voice, Lord Leatherdale, Vitalis, All at Once, Zardando and De Niro. Atilinda, who herself was also auctioned as a foal at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, has a huge motor at the back.\u201d<\/p>\n 2. Why did you decide to enter Jameson as an embryo for the Foal Auction Prinsjesdag? 3. Do you recommend other breeders to sell their foals through the Foal Auction Prinsjesdag? 4. How did you experience the auction at the time? Was it exciting? 5. Do you follow Jameson closely? Click HERE<\/a> for the interview with RS2 Dressage, the owner of Jameson.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>\u201cPeter Bleeker, at that time my vet and board member of the Foal Auction Prinsjedag, suggested it to me and so Jameson was auctioned as an embryo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>\u201cI have already bought many foals through the Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. The disadvantage is that you have to wait and the rearing is risky. The advantage is that you can buy quality and completely customize a foal. In 2007 I bought my first foals at the Prinsjesdag Auction. These were the mares Charming Lady (by Johnson) and Honeymoon (by Hotline). Many other foals followed, including the Westfalen approved stallion Efgaristo (by Vivaldi) and the mare Darabel (by Wespoint). The latter was NMK champion in the keur and elite mares and now also competes in the Small Tour. It is unique that you can buy such horses, because as a three or four year old you pay triple or quadruple or they are not for sale.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>\u201cIt is of course a special situation when you offer an embryo. People cannot physically see what they are buying. Atilinda did walk there and it was indeed exciting. The bidding was a bit slow at first, but later there was active bidding.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>\u201cI first saw Jameson as a three-year-old at the stallion selection in Den Bosch. I had once had a photo of Robin van Lierop, but I never got around to looking at it before. It has become a great horse. I see a lot of his mother. In particular, his front and the way he 'rises' in his gait, he gets from his mother. I don't have a special connection with it because it wasn't born with me, but of course I follow it with special interest. It's great to see what a fantastic horse it has become.\u201d<\/p>\n
