Cas van der Oord Joins Prinsjesdag Foal Auction Team

Prinsjesdag Foal Auction

Cas van der Oord has joined the dressage selection committee for the Prinsjesdag Foal auction.

The young breeder from Schoorl, The Netherlands, has been involved with the Prinsjesdag foal auction for many years alongside Lauw van Vliet.

“Back in the days, my father was already involved in setting up the auction. When we had a good foal at home, we would always go to Foal Auction Prinsjesdag first," said Cas van der Oord. “When board members Co Out and Gerad Koks approached me for a position in the dressage selection committee, I considered this very carefully. Obviously I am still young, so it is quite a leap in the dark, but that also makes it a very interesting opportunity.”

Van der Oord will be in charge of the selection of dressage foals.

"Especially in this day and age, you have to be on top of things. I am already making contacts in order to be able to select interesting foals in the spring. I have also approached several large breeders in Germany to be able to bring new genes to the Netherlands. This is well received and many breeders would like to auction at Prinsjesdag.”
