Renowned Dutch warmblood breeder Antoine van Bommel passed away unexpectedly last night following a cardiac arrest on. The 45-year old stallion owner was rushed to the hospital but could not be saved.
Van Bommel lost his father Christ (80) at the beginning of the year, but together with his partner Claartje Ruis, Antoine decided to keep the stallion station in Aarle-Rixtel going.
Tomorrow the foal inspection for their stallion Bojengel (by Uptown x Gribaldi) was supposed to take place, but this has been postponed to a later to be announced date.
Van Bommel stands the famous dressage stallions Dreamcatcher, Vivaldo, Cachet L, Rubiquil, Havel and Chippendale.
