On Tuesday, September 16, traditionally on Prinsjesdag, Foal Auction Prinsjesdag will host its fourth and final auction of 2025. While earlier editions this year took place at the Dutch Showjumping Championships, CSI2* Houten, and at the Droom Hoeve, the organization now returns to the familiar setting of the National Equestrian Centre in Ermelo. This time with a collection fully dedicated to showjumping breeding: 40 carefully selected jumping foals make up the catalogue.
With dams and granddams proven at Grand Prix level, such as the dams of the filly foals Agata vd Berghoeve Z (by Agalord KCX Berghoeve) and Camilla KCX (by Iron Man VD Padenborre), the dam of the colt Uzario van de Cruyenvelden Z (by United Touch S), the granddam of the colt Diacanan (by Diaron), or the granddam of Vulcanico Reuvekamps (by Chacfly), none other than the multiple Nations Cup winner S Umonia I, quality is guaranteed throughout the collection.

The legendary bloodlines of Usha van ’t Roosakker are also represented in this collection, alongside the influence of Ratina Z. Or what about the colt Une Pepperoni G Z (by Pagani of the Paddocks), out of the half-sister to Henrik von Eckermann’s Glamour Girl? Vero Blue (by Cero Blue TN) is out of a dam who is the half-sister to multiple Grand Prix winner Highway TN.
