It’s time to select your favorites in the KWPN Online Auction. Bidding is now open for 43 promising foals, with the auction closing this Monday evening from 8:00 PM. All foals have been assessed by a KWPN inspector for conformation and correctness of movement, and have also undergone a clinical veterinary examination. This thorough selection process ensures buyers can invest with certainty, knowing each foal has a strong foundation. Granddaughter of an Olympic mare One of the foals destined for a bright future is the grey colt Villion (One Million x Ferdeaux), bred out of a half-sister to Rochelle Kilberg’s international Grand Prix dressage horse Florentino. This proven damline also produced the KWPN-approved Small Tour stallion United. Another highlight is the colt Vino O Toto van de Nethe (O’Toto van de Wimphof x Connaisseur), whose dam is a half-sister to the Grand Prix horse Emotion ridden by Nikita Raijmakers, as well as the Big Tour dressage horse Just Perfect. The filly Vogue AEH (Secret USB x Jerveaux) descends from a well-tested NMK mare (IBOP 80.5), who herself is a half-sister to Diederik van Silfhout’s international Grand Prix horse Ivito. Also representing a first-class damline is the filly Vaiana (So Perfect x Wynton). She is a granddaughter of the international Grand Prix horse Finnlanderin, who competed at the Paris Olympic Games with Camille Carier Bergeron! Finnlanderin is moreover a half-sister to Jacqueline Wing Ying Siu’s international Grand Prix horse Ferrera. From an equally powerful showjumping damline comes Vivé Lente (Mattias x Pharaon xx), whose dam already produced the late KWPN-approved stallion Envoy. Dam Whoopie is also a half-sister to the international 1.50/1.60m-level jumpers Jalandria and Phentagera B. Invest in the future Not registered as a bidder yet?

International show jumper, trainer, and entrepreneur Danny Schaper enjoyed breeding success last weekend. His homebred Genius daughter Licolle won the CSI4* Grand Prix of Ascona. Swiss rider Barbara Schnieper celebrated the biggest victory of her career at the 32nd CSI Ascona, claiming her first 4* Grand Prix in front of her home crowd. Genius Daughter Schnieper claimed victory with Licolle (Genius out of G by Eldorado van de Zeshoek), bred and partly produced by Danny Schaper from Ommen, whom she has been competing internationally since autumn 2023. The pair made their 1.50m debut earlier this spring, jumping their first Grand Prix classes. At CSI4* Ascona, they faced a challenging Grand Prix course, with only four combinations qualifying for the jump-off. There, they proved the fastest and once again jumped clear. “This is truly amazing, Licolle jumped fantastic, and she’s only nine years old. This was our second 4* Grand Prix, and I’m so happy that we managed to win my first 4* Grand Prix here in Ascona of all places,” said the Swiss rider afterward. Licolle’s dam is a half-sister to the Grand Prix stallion Willow (Guidam), whom Schaper himself produced to 1.60m level before the stallion went on to compete successfully at the highest level with riders including Kent Farrington. Breeder of the Year 2021 Licolle wasn’t the only successful horse bred by an international rider last weekend. The KWPN-approved stallion Key West (Tangelo van de Zuuthoeve x Zanory T keur pref prest by Phin Phin), bred by Roelof Bril from Zieuwent, placed third in the CSI3* Grand Prix at Riesenbeck with Jodie Hall McAteer. The pair stayed double clear in the 1.50m class. Until earlier this year, the striking chestnut stallion competed under Ronnie Jones, with whom he represented the KWPN team successfully at the WBFSH Studbooks Jumping Global Champions Trophy. Dutch Sport Horses Worldwide At all international levels in dressage, jumping, and eventing, KWPN-bred horses continue to achieve top results. To highlight these horses and their breeders, the international winners are celebrated weekly. For jumping horses, results are covered from 1.50m level at CSI3* and above; for dressage horses, from Grand Prix level at CDI3*; and in eventing, all winners are included. For KWPN stallions, top 5 placings are reported in dressage from ZZ-Zwaar level and higher, in jumping top 10 placings from 1.50m and above, and in eventing all KWPN stallions are included.

Several KWPN-approved stallions impressed last week, with standout performances from Kyton and Geniaal, while Bonheur de la Vie claimed silver at the Swiss Grand Prix Championship. At the Subtop competition in Houten, Emmelie Scholtens competed in her third show with the KWPN-approved stallion Kyton (Ferguson x Wilbria elite IBOP-dres pref prest D-OC by Ferro, bred by Willem Goesten from Berkel Enschot). The pair made their Grand Prix debut this past June, and in Houten they posted a score of 69.89% despite some errors. About a year ago, Scholtens took over the reins from Edward Gal, under whom Kyton had also shown great potential. The chestnut stallion had previously caught the eye under Bart Veeze. Geniaal back in winning form With victories in both the Intermediaire I (74.26%) and the Prix St. Georges Freestyle (76.75%), Sarah Higgins and Geniaal (Vivaldi out of Wocky elite IBOP-dres pref prest D-OC PROK by Biotop, bred by the Traa family from Maren-Kessel) proved unbeatable in the competition. They finished nearly nine percentage points ahead of runners-up Matt Frost with Kerouac (by Sezuan out of Everoniek by Sorento, bred by G.J. Makinson from Gosmore UK). Earlier this year, Sarah and Geniaal had already claimed the national Small Tour Championship title. “Geniaal is usually ridden by his owner, Sarah Rao, who is currently in China preparing for the National Games,” Higgins explained. “Since the international show at Hartpury in early July, where we won the Inter I, I had only ridden him three times. That gave me some extra nerves, but once we entered the ring he felt so good that I could really go for it.” To focus on sport, Geniaal was gelded a few years ago. He is successfully competed at international Small Tour level by both Sarah Higgins and Sarah Rao. Silver for Bordeaux son At the Swiss National Dressage Championships, Charlotta Rogerson claimed the silver medal with the Bordeaux son Bonheur de la Vie (registered name Hugo Boss Platinum, out of Ankie ster pref PROK by Tuschinski, bred by the Gijsbers family from Loosbroek). The gelding had previously competed successfully at the highest level with Sandra Nuxoll. Since May, Charlotta has formed a partnership with Bonheur de la Vie, and last month they represented Switzerland at the European Championships in Crozet. In Roggwil, the pair finished second in the Grand Prix with 71.10% and won the Freestyle with 77.70%. These results secured them the silver medal overall, just behind Jessica Neuhauser with Rockson. Dutch sport horses worldwide At every level of international dressage, jumping, and eventing, KWPN-bred horses continue to achieve top results. To highlight these horses and their breeders, KWPN publishes a weekly overview of international winners.

He is successfully competed at international Small Tour level by both Sarah Higgins and Sarah Rao. Silver for Bordeaux son At the Swiss National Dressage Championships, Charlotta Rogerson claimed the silver medal with the Bordeaux son Bonheur de la Vie (registered name Hugo Boss Platinum, out of Ankie ster pref PROK by Tuschinski, bred by the Gijsbers family from Loosbroek). The gelding had previously competed successfully at the highest level with Sandra Nuxoll. Since May, Charlotta has formed a partnership with Bonheur de la Vie, and last month they represented Switzerland at the European Championships in Crozet. In Roggwil, the pair finished second in the Grand Prix with 71.10% and won the Freestyle with 77.70%. These results secured them the silver medal overall, just behind Jessica Neuhauser with Rockson.

International show jumper, trainer, and entrepreneur Danny Schaper enjoyed breeding success last weekend. His homebred Genius daughter Licolle won the CSI4* Grand Prix of Ascona. Swiss rider Barbara Schnieper celebrated the biggest victory of her career at the 32nd CSI Ascona, claiming her first 4* Grand Prix in front of her home crowd. Genius Daughter Schnieper claimed victory with Licolle (Genius out of G by Eldorado van de Zeshoek), bred and partly produced by Danny Schaper from Ommen, whom she has been competing internationally since autumn 2023. The pair made their 1.50m debut earlier this spring, jumping their first Grand Prix classes. At CSI4* Ascona, they faced a challenging Grand Prix course, with only four combinations qualifying for the jump-off. There, they proved the fastest and once again jumped clear. “This is truly amazing, Licolle jumped fantastic, and she’s only nine years old. This was our second 4* Grand Prix, and I’m so happy that we managed to win my first 4* Grand Prix here in Ascona of all places,” said the Swiss rider afterward. Licolle’s dam is a half-sister to the Grand Prix stallion Willow (Guidam), whom Schaper himself produced to 1.60m level before the stallion went on to compete successfully at the highest level with riders including Kent Farrington. Breeder of the Year 2021 Licolle wasn’t the only successful horse bred by an international rider last weekend. The KWPN-approved stallion Key West (Tangelo van de Zuuthoeve x Zanory T keur pref prest by Phin Phin), bred by Roelof Bril from Zieuwent, placed third in the CSI3* Grand Prix at Riesenbeck with Jodie Hall McAteer. The pair stayed double clear in the 1.50m class. Until earlier this year, the striking chestnut stallion competed under Ronnie Jones, with whom he represented the KWPN team successfully at the WBFSH Studbooks Jumping Global Champions Trophy. Dutch Sport Horses Worldwide At all international levels in dressage, jumping, and eventing, KWPN-bred horses continue to achieve top results. To highlight these horses and their breeders, the international winners are celebrated weekly. For jumping horses, results are covered from 1.50m level at CSI3* and above; for dressage horses, from Grand Prix level at CDI3*; and in eventing, all winners are included. For KWPN stallions, top 5 placings are reported in dressage from ZZ-Zwaar level and higher, in jumping top 10 placings from 1.50m and above, and in eventing all KWPN stallions are included.

Several KWPN-approved stallions impressed last week, with standout performances from Kyton and Geniaal, while Bonheur de la Vie claimed silver at the Swiss Grand Prix Championship. At the Subtop competition in Houten, Emmelie Scholtens competed in her third show with the KWPN-approved stallion Kyton (Ferguson x Wilbria elite IBOP-dres pref prest D-OC by Ferro, bred by Willem Goesten from Berkel Enschot). The pair made their Grand Prix debut this past June, and in Houten they posted a score of 69.89% despite some errors. About a year ago, Scholtens took over the reins from Edward Gal, under whom Kyton had also shown great potential. The chestnut stallion had previously caught the eye under Bart Veeze. Geniaal back in winning form With victories in both the Intermediaire I (74.26%) and the Prix St. Georges Freestyle (76.75%), Sarah Higgins and Geniaal (Vivaldi out of Wocky elite IBOP-dres pref prest D-OC PROK by Biotop, bred by the Traa family from Maren-Kessel) proved unbeatable in the competition. They finished nearly nine percentage points ahead of runners-up Matt Frost with Kerouac (by Sezuan out of Everoniek by Sorento, bred by G.J. Makinson from Gosmore UK). Earlier this year, Sarah and Geniaal had already claimed the national Small Tour Championship title. “Geniaal is usually ridden by his owner, Sarah Rao, who is currently in China preparing for the National Games,” Higgins explained. “Since the international show at Hartpury in early July, where we won the Inter I, I had only ridden him three times.

Another highlight is the colt Vino O Toto van de Nethe (O’Toto van de Wimphof x Connaisseur), whose dam is a half-sister to the Grand Prix horse Emotion ridden by Nikita Raijmakers, as well as the Big Tour dressage horse Just Perfect. The filly Vogue AEH (Secret USB x Jerveaux) descends from a well-tested NMK mare (IBOP 80.5), who herself is a half-sister to Diederik van Silfhout’s international Grand Prix horse Ivito. Also representing a first-class damline is the filly Vaiana (So Perfect x Wynton). She is a granddaughter of the international Grand Prix horse Finnlanderin, who competed at the Paris Olympic Games with Camille Carier Bergeron! Finnlanderin is moreover a half-sister to Jacqueline Wing Ying Siu’s international Grand Prix horse Ferrera. From an equally powerful showjumping damline comes Vivé Lente (Mattias x Pharaon xx), whose dam already produced the late KWPN-approved stallion Envoy. Dam Whoopie is also a half-sister to the international 1.50/1.60m-level jumpers Jalandria and Phentagera B. Invest in the future Not registered as a bidder yet?
