Borculo Online Foal Auction: collection filled with future potential

The foal collection’s presentation last week got the first edition of the Borculo Online Foal Auction off the starting blocks. One and a half week before the auction officially begins, the interest in these ten exclusive foals is already remarkable! Bidding starts on Friday April 26 after which the auction closes on Monday evening April 29 from 8 p.m. Expectations are high, because of the quality of these genetically exquisite foals, born early in the year.

Proven performance genes

If we take look at the four jumping foals, the clear influence of proven performance genes immediately catches the eye, from the sire lines but perhaps even more prominently from the direct dam lines. In addition to their potential for (top) sport, even more is clear about these foals. Selector Floris van Leuken says: ‘The colts are above average suitable for a future stallion selection and the ambitious breeder gets the chance to obtain the foundation of a strong dam line with these fillies.’

If wehighlight the four jumping foals’ direct dam lines, we come to the followingoverview:

1. Oreuza VDL (s. Apardi), filly

  • Dam Koreuza S (s. Thunder van deZuuthoeve) is a sister to 3 international horses (1.55m, 1.50m and 1.40m), amongwhich popular KWPN approved stallion Etoulon VDL (Jur Vrieling).
  • The dams in the 3rd and 4thgeneration produced together a total of 7 international horses (1.60m 2x, 1.50m2x, 1.45m and 1.40m 2x)

Future sport potential

In the dressage foal collection we see strikingly fine movers. Also here a lot of potential for sport, partly due to the large influence of Grand Prix genes. Selector Linda van Doorn’s words are in accordance with those of her jumping colleague. She says: ‘These colts are certainly interesting in regard to a later stallion selection. And both fillies will be of value to any breeder.’

When welook specifically to the Grand Prix influences present in the six foals we cometo the following overview:
