Highway Z (Heartbreaker x Cornado x Argentinus) is a grandson of World Cup winner Anka, ridden by Marcus Ehning.
Flanders Foal Auction always aims for the highest quality, but when you are invited to organize a foal auction during the brand new CSI4* show the Equestrian Cup in Moerzeke, you certainly present something exceptional. The Equestrian Cup will be all about class and luxury for riders and visitors and this will also be reflected in the auction evening on Saturday, July 22 at the showgrounds of Sea Coast Stables of Gudrun Patteet and Alain Cloet.
Flanders Foal Auction has selected 37 jumping foals with all the right ingredients from A to Z. “We expect a lot from this collection”, Luk Van Puymbroeck and Gerald Lenaerts state. “The organization seeks quality and the breeders have presented us their very best foals.”
Stallion prospects
Caledonian van WW Z (Cornet Obolensky x Toulon) is a grandson of Spruce Meadows winner Candy.
“The pedigrees are very strong”, Gerald Lenaerts assures. “One thing is certain: if a stallion stud owner can’t find anything in this collection, they can’t find it anywhere.”
Among the collection are all kinds of stallion and top sport prospects, including some exclusive sons of Heartbreaker. For example, one Heartbreaker colt was bred from the dam of multiple medal collector H&M All In; another was bred out of the same dam as Emerald van ‘t Ruytershof.
Kirby de Muze
The colt Chubby KCX Berghoeve (Chacco-Blue x Nabab de Reve) is bred out of the top breeding mare Kirby de Muze (1.50m level showjumping).
And what about the Chacco-Blue colt out of 1.50m showjumping mare Kirby de Muze (sired by Nabab de Rêve). “We auctioned two embryos out of Kirby already; sold for respectively 90,000 and 82,000 euros. In September, an Emerald daughter out of Kirby de Muze was auctioned in another auction for 300,000 euros.”
Fillies
Filly Dalou de Montana Z (Darry Lou x Kannan) has the same grandam as Emerald.
The fillies will also demand plenty of attention. The 1.60m Grand Prix mare Sterrehof’s Ushi for example; she produced a filly by Comme Il Faut, representing the fabulous line of Narcotique de Muze II. Other fillies are leading back to world famous families, such as Van ‘t Roosakker, Klapscheut, Van ‘t Merelsnest and Van de Bisschop. The damlines of Fragance de Chalu, Centa de Muze, Spruce Meadows Grand Prix winner Candy and Anoeska van de Ruitershoeve – dam of six Grand Prix horses – are represented as well in this collection.
“Beforehand we can often sense which foal will become the auction top-seller, but this time we have no clue so far. Multiple foals could become the most wanted in this auction. It will be a spectacular event at the Equestrian Cup!”
