Ermelo. Am 21. September findet in Ermelo (Niederlande) eine sicher interessante Fohlenauktion statt, angeboten werden dabei Nachkommen großer Pferde.

All biomechanical research both at home and abroad have proved it: the way a horse moves as a  foal is the same as later under the saddle. It is for this reason that one can choose a future top dressage horse at no better place than at The National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag.

As well as a great number of exclusively-bred show jumping foals, the auction committee has selected quite a few extremely promising foals for the sport of dressage. Not only is their pedigree taken into account but, of course, also their conformation and the three basic gaits are taken into account which are the talents needed to compete at the higher levels of dressage. Below is a selection of what is on offer:

Scoop

Cat.nr 34 is indeed something new: never before has the top breeder Stoeterij Broere put in a foal for an elite auction. The National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag is proud to present, for the first time, a product from father Cees and son Anne Broere. And what a foal it is! We are talking about the excellent movement of Broere Florida, brother to the approved KWPN stallion Bristol. Both are descended from the number 1 in the WBFSH rankings, Broere Jazz. Dam Selina is a daughter of the show jumping stallion Goodtimes, who is also really proving everything in the dressage arena with progeny such as Lucky Times, Kennet W and Linniker.

Sport x sport

Out of the top lineage of the Grand Prix dressage horses Elorianne, Fidelia, Griffier and I.Natana van Ten Bosch comes the top talent Fine and Smart (Cat.nr 60). Seldom does one see a foal with such beautiful movement! The extreme explosion of power goes hand-in-hand with enormous suppleness and balance.

Sire Sorento is seen as the best son of Sandro Hit. Under the saddle of Steffi Wolf, Sorento is, with his powerfully moving hind quarters, well on his way to Grand Prix. Dam’s sire Jazz supplies a great deal of potential for big sport.

Grandam Kimberlie also produced the Small Tour dressage horse Tornado (Negro) and the Z2 level dressage horses Power (Inspekteur) and Vinesse (Ronaldo). As well as this, Kimberlie is bred out of the same dam as the GP dressage horse Lester (Triton) with Pia Varjonen.

Black eye catcher

A super conformation combined with spectacular movement is what characterizes this well-developed black First Choise (cat.nr 70). This year, sire Johnson impressed with his first crop in The Pavo Cup and with daughters that move outstandingly and who received high scores in the stud book records. Dam Narona earlier produced the Light Tour dressage horse (Inspekteur) with Sanne Kersten. Narona’s full brother Jewel of Holland performed successfully at Prix St. Georges level under Mieke de Kok. Out of this mare line (NL-089) come more than 15 approved stallions among which are the KWPN stallion Apache (UB 40).

Grand Prix mother

With fine bearing and lovely suppleness, First Apple (cat.nr 75) floats with contained power over the ground. A crack of a foal with super talent with Vivaldi as sire and the Grand Prix mare Oogappel (Partout x Flemmingh) of Aat van Essen as dam. Grandam Koberlina is also dam to the BWP & SBS stallion Sierappel (Montecristo) who is being brought out at Prix St. Georges level by Muriel de Ruijter. The Z2 level dressage horse United Apple (Roman Nature) and the international show jumper Twistappel (Ferro) with Mark Martens are also sons of Koberlina.

This is only a small example out of the top selection of this year’s National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. For more information and the complete selection check the website www.veulenveilingprinsjesdag.nl.
