Flanders Foal Auction: ‘Too special to miss’

posted in: Allgemein | 0
The final Flanders Foal Auction of the year is just around the corner, and it promises to be another remarkable event. With 42 jumping foals on offer, the selection is larger than ever. “But the collection is so strong, we had to include them all because each foal has something special,” say Luk Van Puymbroeck and Gerald Lenaerts. The auction will take place on Saturday evening, September 14, at Sentower Park.
There are many unique foals, even featuring rare colors such as pinto and appaloosa. However, it is the pedigrees, conformation and movement that truly stand out. Of the 42 foals, the majority are fillies (22 in total). Leading sire is Chacco Blue, with nine foals (including seven fillies). Following are Balou du Reventon (four foals) and Ermitage Kalone, Heartbreaker, Emerald, and Diarado, each represented by three offspring.
This collection has the potential to elevate your showjumping stable or breeding program. In fact, six of the foals are out of mares that have jumped at 1.50m level or higher.
Among the highlights are a Chacco Blue filly from the dam of the 1.70m Grand Prix horse Venard de Cerisy (ridden by Steve Guerdat), a full brother to the Olympic stallion Uricas vd Kattevennen (ridden by Harrie Smolders), a London foal from the full sister of Don Juan vd Donkhoeve (1.70m GP with Jessica Springsteen), a Heartbreaker foal out of Goldika de Laubry (1.50m GP), an Emerald filly out of the same dam as Olympic horse Nevados S (ridden by Gregory Wathelet) and a Cornet Obolensky foal from the half-sister of Martin Fuchs’ former top horse Clooney 51 (Cornet Obolensky), winner of the European Championship, vice-world champion and runner-up in the World Cup final.

The list is too long to name them all, but notable bloodlines are well represented, including those of Qerly Chin, Centa de Muze, Spruce Meadows winner Candy, Emerald, Panama du Seigneur, Ligie, Casall, Winningmood, Clinton and Big Star.
The auction will start at 8:00 PM CET. Those who are unable to attend at Sentower Park can follow the event online. View the collection here: www.flandersfoalauction.be. Reserve your VIP table via Whatsapp to Sigrid Gielen +32 476 25 86 47.
