Back to the roots!

After many years, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag is returning to North Holland — and in style. On Saturday evening, August 23rd, the renowned auction organization will host an exclusive live auction for dressage foals at one of the most beautiful locations in the Netherlands: De Droom Hoeve in Grootebroek.

The successful auction during the Dutch Show Jumping Championships in Deurne last weekend clearly left a taste for more.

“With Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, we want to continue innovating and seizing opportunities to bring breeders and buyers together at unique locations,” says chairman Arjan van der Waaij. “This dressage auction is a logical next step and at the same time a wonderful return to our North Holland roots.”

An Evening of Quality and Experience

De Droom Hoeve provides the perfect setting for this new auction. On Saturday evening, August 23rd, around 35 to 40 highly promising foals will go under the hammer. In addition to this new event, the traditional auction still takes place on the third Tuesday of September.

“We have made the decision to separate the auctions for dressage and show jumping foals. On Tuesday, September 16th, we will present a collection of show jumping foals in Ermelo," said Arjan van der Waaij.

Registration Now Open

Breeders with a promising dressage foal from a proven damline can now register for the auction or contact the selectors directly: Cas van den Oord or Lauw van Vliet. They will ensure that a dream collection of dressage foals is presented at De Droom Hoeve. With the addition of this new dressage auction, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag once again shows its ambition to play a leading role in horse breeding.

“We want to offer breeders the opportunity to present their foals on the right stage,” Van der Waaij concludes.
