BELGIAN YOUNGSTERS AUCTION: TRANSPARENCY TAKES CENTER STAGE

Sep 17, 2024 · Wendy Scholten

In today’s auction landscape, with numerous auctions held each week, the Belgian Youngster Auction is one to watch. The auction with young jumping horses will celebrate its fifth edition on Saturday, September 28, showcasing all auction horses in loose jumping before an audience in Ghlin, Belgium.

An exciting evening is expected. How will the 29 pre-selected jumping horses perform? And how high will the bids go from on-site clients and online buyers? “We’re looking forward to it. We have a diverse range of horses that cater to different needs – in terms of type, jumping style, size and scope, as well as budget,” says Luk Van Puymbroeck, organizer alongside Valentijn De Bock and breeders and stallion owners Daniel and Nicolas Boudrenghien.

For the second time, the auction will take place at the Hippodrome De Wallonië in Ghlin, the venue for the Walloon Loose Jumping Championships. “It’s the perfect place with a lovely atmosphere to present these auction horses. Free jumping during the auction carries some risk, as it needs to go well, but we have confidence in this group of horses.”

Loose jumping also adds a significant level of transparency. Interested parties can view the horses in person one last time. Those logging into the website will also automatically gain access to veterinary reports and X-rays. A glance at the pedigrees reveals that almost every three- and four-year-old is closely related to one or more Grand Prix showjumping horses.

For instance, Comme Elle Faut de Carmel Z (Comme il Faut) is a full sister to the Zangersheide stallion Comilfo Plus Z. Cockpit Z (Casall) is bred out of the full sister of Cornet Obolensky and Perigieuse d’Elsendam Z (Perigieux) is from the full sister of the 1.60m Grand Prix stallion Aristoteles V. Looking for an approved stallion? Potomac Sitte (Kavango Sitte) has an sBs breeding license. Also check out Pablo d’Hollaye (Quel Homme de Hus), who has all the qualities to become a Grand Prix horse. He’s a standout.
