For the second year in a row, an exclusive foal auction will take place during the international Horses & Dreams event in Hagen. This year, the guest country is the Netherlands, reason enough for the Oldenburg studbook and KWPN to join forces. On Friday evening, April 25, a total of 21 exceptional dressage and jumping foals will go under the hammer, selected in both the Netherlands and Germany.

The collection features fourteen dressage foals and seven jumping foals. The dressage foals are sired by Viva Gold, One Million, Dynamic Pur, Elastic, Odin, Sarai L, St. Emilion, Extreme U.S., Vitalis, Veneno, Fascination, Ortisei, and Escanto PS. The jumping foals are offspring of Zinedine, Don’t Touch Tiji Hero, Casallco, Zirocco Blue VDL, Cornet Obolensky, and Catoki.

Olympic dressage bloodlines
Dynamic Pur, winner of the stallion competition in Vechta, presents a highly promising colt from his first crop via Dynamic Renard. His dam line has produced many successful dressage stallions such as approved stallions Signore Rubinstein and Sirano de Luxe. The granddam of Elastic foal Vicky Litchy US is the half-sister of Olympic stallion Painted Black and Olympic horse Go Legend. Valentino AVE (by Sarai L) comes from the dam line of the approved stallion Lord Romantic and several other licensed stallions. The dam of Vitalis son Vice President is the Small Tour mare Luna (by Governor), who is preparing for her Grand Prix debut.

Exceptional jumping foals
High expectations also surround the jumping foals. The filly Catanga boasts a powerful pedigree with Catoki, Tangelo van de Zuuthoeve, Vigo D’Arsouilles, and Cornet Obolensk, anchored in 1.60m-level genes. The dam of Casallco daughter Casa Mia is the full sister of the 1.55m horse Carlo ridden by Harry Allen. The stallion Don’t Touch Tiji Hero is the sire of the very interesting colt Discreetly Touch. His dam is the sister of the 1.55m horse Campino MR (by Colestus). Viva Girl, a daughter of Olympic stallion Zirocco Blue VDL and Vivant van de Heffinck, comes from an outstanding dam line. Her dam is the half-sister of no fewer than 14 international jumping horses, including 1.50/1.60m horses Katyusa, Carilot, and Carquilot.
