The Sale of the Rising Stars has more than proved itself. Offering a good selection of horses is step one, but more important is what happens with the horses after the auction. Every year I am grateful to notify that buyers have confidence in my horses and even dare to buy without having tried the horse themselves. Many arrived at top show jumping stables and soon became very successful in sport.
Admire the new collection. What you see is what you get. The horses jump great on the videos but - more important - also during training and shows. Now that's quality. Grande Beau (Chello III VDL) is the Polish Champion of the 5-year-old show jumpers. Or do you prefer the KWPN licensed stallion and 2015 VION Cup winner Gringo (Catoki)?
Some previously auctioned SOTRS horses have already broken through at the highest level. The 9-year-old Constance (Indoctro), owned by Milena Pappas, made her debut with Jessica Mendoza (GBR) at top level in the Grand Prix of the Global Champions Tour final in Doha in November 2016.
The horses are developing exquisite. The 8-year-old Crispo (Contendro II) already jumps 1.45-1.50m level with David Will (GER). In August 2016 Frederique Lebon finished 7th in the ISAH Cup for 7-year-olds with Gradetty (Crespo VDL) and participated at the World Championships for young horses in Lanaken. Also Estella W (v. Carthino Z) with Frederique and Floyd O (Carthino) with Neal Fearon jumped at the World Championships at Zangersheide. Froukjecara (Eurocommerce Washington), in 2016 bought by Vincent Voorn's sponsors Kees and Natasha Kleer, jumps sensational. Evalien (Ustinov) and Eurvette O (Douglas) are already internationally successful at 1.40m level, ridden by respectively Steven Veldhuis (NED) and Andreas Schou (DEN).
In short, the Sale of the Rising Stars horses are advertising the action. Do you have a horse from the new collection on your mind? Please feel free to contact me. You are welcome to try the horse of your choice.
