After successful embryo auctions in Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, the Flanders Foal Auction team has arrived in Al Ain. It is the 7th time Luk Van Puymbroeck and Gerald Lenaerts run a live and online auction in the Arab Emirates. In Al Ain, Al Shira'aa Stables is organizing an international CSI4* competition, where unborn showjumping foals will be auctioned tomorrow, Saturday evening, 13 January.

“Earlier this year, we were guests at their international show in Abu Dhabi and that was a great success with an average price of almost 29,000 euros. Regular customers and new buyers – both on site and online – were very motivated to secure one of the lots and they are happy with the foals born last year.”

Last week a ‘Flanders embryo’ won a youngsters class at the international show in Dubai. Qasco FFA Z (Quabri de L’Isle x Asca Z), ridden by Ahmed Falaknaz, was sold as an embryo in Sharjah in 2018.

Baloucenta What about a Conthargos out of Baloucenta who competed in the World Cup final in Omaha this year with Moufi Owaida Al Karbi?

For this edition, 25 embryos have been selected with excellent pedigrees. The foals to be born are sired by 14 different sires. Chacco Blue and Emerald van 't Ruytershof are represented by five offspring each. Two embryos by Ermitage Kalone, Cardento and Comme il Faut are included.

More facts:

  • 6 embryos are out of a 1.60m Grand Prix mare
  • 6 embryos have a granddam who jumped 1.60m Grand Prix
  • 7 embryos have a dam who already produced a 1.60m Grand Prix horse
  • 23 embryos have a granddam who brought 1 or more 1.60m Grand Prix horses, the remaining 2 embryos have a granddam who produced a 1.50m Grand Prix horse

Cacacha van't Schaeck Cacacha van't Schaeck (1.55m GP) is the dam of an embryo by Cardento. She is bred out of Fortis Fortuna (1.60m GP) and already gave Like a Diamond vh Schaeck (1.65m GP).

“It is always difficult to pick out highlights because there are so many of them. For example, we have two embryos out of Grand Prix mares known in the Emirates: A Conthargos out of Baloucenta who competed in the World Cup final in Omaha this year with Moufi Owaida Al Karbi, and a Comme il Faut out of Indiana van Klapscheut, who was runner-up in the CSI2* Grand Prix of Abu Dhabi with Tina Lund”, Gerald Lenaerts says. 

“We are also expecting a lot from Ermitage Kalone out of Calleryama, one of the best Casall daughters around. She won the Nations Cup final in Barcelona last year with Gilles Thomas. We even have a Comme il Faut out of the half-sister of Uricas vd Kattevennen, this mare we auctioned as an embryo in Sharjah. It's going to be a great season for those who successfully strike during this embryo auction.”
