1. What was Brittsion like as a foal? 2. How is her mother? 3. How did you experience the auction at the time? 4. Do you still follow Brittsion? 5. Why did you choose the Prinsjesdag auction? read HERE<\/a> the interview with buyer Dirk Kat from Primeval.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>\u201cBrittsion was already very beautiful as a foal, could move well and had a good character. She became champion at the inspection in Hoofddorp and people really stopped to watch. Her use of the foreleg in particular was already very special. The foals inherit this from their mother, because I also see it in her brothers and sisters.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>\u201cHer dam Unassion (Krack C x Jazz) was very successful at the inspections. She became reserve champion of the Netherlands as a foal and third as a three-year-old. Because she has both Krack and Jazz blood, we went to Schockem\u00f6hle in Germany to look for a stallion and chose Sir Donnerhall. That combination worked well with Brittsion and I used this stallion three more times. She is now 16 years old, elite, preferent, performance and is pregnant from her 14e<\/sup> foal. This year we are going to the national inspection with a Totilas foal of hers. Besides Brittsion there are two more children of her in the small tour, namely Ambission (by Sunny Boy) and Catosion (by Sir Donnerhall). We already breed with the sixth generation of horses from this line and all names end with sion. Brittsion is named after my wife Britt, her sister Catosion after my daughter Cato and her brother Kassion after my son Kas.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>"It was exciting. Friends of ours also wanted to buy her, but at one point they were bid above their maximum price. Dirk Kat, the buyer, also knew Brittsion's mother well.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>\u201cYes, I follow everything on the internet and sometimes I go to see Derk Schekkerman or at competitions. I watched all the international Junior competitions via the live stream.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>\u201cAs a member of the breeding and study club Noord-Holland, I was involved in the establishment of the Prinsjesdag auction at the time, so I have a connection with this auction. Two years ago, Brittsion's full brother, Kassion, was also auctioned here. I also had a number of foals auctioned in Borculo and Dronten. I have good experiences with the Prinsjesdag auction. If breeders have a good foal, I definitely recommend the Prinsjesdag auction, although of course everyone has to decide that for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
