After a year of absence, due to all COVID19 measures, the Dutch Sport Horse Sales is coming back stronger than ever. One extra year of training and selecting resulted in an outstanding collection of 22 five-, six- and seven-year-olds. A significant number of the horses have already achieved international results and they all have a bright future ahead. The auction will take place on the 28th of September at Peelbergen Equestrian Centre.

Every disadvantage has its advantage. That also applies to the postponement of the Dutch Sport Horse Sales in 2020. “We have had an extra year to work with the horses and select only the very best for our auction. For the first time, no four-year-olds have been included in the collection and the focus has shifted to the somewhat older horses. We have seven-year-olds that for sure will jump 2*-Grand Prixs next year already”, tells Paul Hendrix.

At the national championships in Valkenswaard, various horses that will be sold in de Dutch Sport Horse Sales, achieved great results. The five-year-old future talents Let’s Fly (s.Fly) and Lusina (s.Cape Coral RBF Z) as well as the six-year-old top talents Kolivar (s.Colestus) and Kavaliers Blue (s.Zirocco Blue VDL) all performed well in the finals of this prestigious championship. Several horses have been selected for the World Championships for young horses in Lanaken, which unfortunately won’t fit in their schedule as the Dutch Sport Horse Sales will take place the days after. Several seven-year-old top talents have already built up a respectable record in the international Youngster Tour and can progress to the 2* Grand Prix level next year, such as Oechie-K (s.I’m Special de Muze), Jeffrey Jarden (s.Bustique) and Viper Z (s.Vigo d’Arsouilles). Another highlight is the Padock du Plesis mare Freya d’Ambel, which became champion of France as a four-year-old.

The collection is now online at www.dutchsporthorsesales.com. “We are really proud to present this special collection. Almost all horses have been with us for a long time so we know them very well. We have high hopes for these 22 young showjumpers and are really looking forward to our live auction.” This year the auction is scheduled for September the 28th at Peelbergen Equestrian Centre in Kronenberg - NL, where the presentation will take place the day before.
