Limburg Foal Auction raises the stakes with excellent collections

posted in: Allgemein | 0
Thanks to last year’s record-breaking edition, breeders have flocked to the renowned Limburg Foal Auction in large numbers, resulting in a broad and exceptional selection. On Wednesday the 25th of September, over 80 foals will be auctioned live at the Peelbergen Equestrian Centre, followed by an additional 50 promising showjumping foals in the online auction, closing on Friday the 27th of September.
The live auction features offspring from proven and notable sires such as Chacco-Blue, Ermitage Kalone, Catoki, Diamant de Semilly, Balou du Reventon, Emerald van ’t Ruytershof, Carthago, and Uricas van de Kattevennen. Additionally, the pedigree of these foals boasts outstanding damlines, leaving little to be desired.
Closely related to top performers
A great number of dams has performed in national or international jumping classes. For instance, the dam of Everdream EDC Z (s.Epleaser van ’t Heike) has competed at the highest level with Thiago Ribas da Costa. Other notable performers include the dams of Hennessy van WW (s.Heartbreaker), Uber TJ (s.Foncetti van de Heffinck), and C U Again S Z (s.Carthago), who all competed internationally at 1.45m level.

Several foals come from dams that have already produced offspring at 1.60m level, such as Catoki van de Eijkhof Z (s.Catoki, half-brother to Zarkava Hero Z), Monsieur du Buisson Z (s.Mosito van het Hellehof, half-brother to Dance du Buisson Z), and Hennessy van WW (half-brother to WEG jumper Nelson van ’t Roosakker). The collection also features foals from the lineages of top level horses such as Ilex, Beauville Z, Especiale, Con Dios III, Jaguar Mail, Diamanthina van ’t Ruytershof, Viking, Sapphire, Candy, Valentina van ’t Heike, and Van Gogh. Remarkably, several of these top families are paired with promising sires. For example, offspring from rising stars like Onassis TN, Ansingh de Lis Z, Dinello, Drummer 2000 TN, and four-year-old Dutch Champion Pagani of the Paddocks are part of the collection.

Online auction
The selection doesn’t stop there. The foals chosen for the online auction also meet all criteria in terms of type, canter, and pedigree. Strong damlines are well-represented, such as the Pegase van ’t Ruytershof son Perseus LM, whose dam is a young half-sister to the 1.60m level horses Zorran and Unico. The dam of Up To Fire Z (s.Up van ’t Paradijs) is a half-sister to 1.60m jumpers AD Nouvelle Europe Z and Double Black, and the dam of Don Cassini (s.Diarado) competed internationally at 1.45/1.50m level.

Equally impressive is Eduardo Z (s.Emerald van ’t Ruytershof), a three-quarter brother to the Olympic showjumper Nikka vd Bisschop, while the dam of Ufo L (s.Corydon van T&L) competed at 1.55/1.60m level internationally with Karim Elzoghby. The Emerald son Ultimate MvM, is a half-brother to the 1.55/1.60m horse Dandy, ridden by Kaitlin Campbell. Other foals are closely related to stars like C Vier 2, Beauville Z, Triple, Audi’s Reflection, Emerald van ’t Ruytershof, Glamour Girl, Ligie, Verdi, and Chellano Z. The first lots in the online foal auction will close on Friday the 27th of September, at 5:00 PM.
