National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag (NVP) has been one of the trend-setting European foal auctions for 20 years. NVP has always been an elite auction, but made a well-considered choice eleven years ago for sport horses: the selection policy is exclusively modelled for dressage and showjumping foals from the best bloodlines in Europe. Naturally strict criteria are applied where conformation, development, size and movements are concerned . But a handsome, well-developed and good moving foal from a mares line that has not produced any sport horses is not interesting from the point of view of the selection committee of NVP. To live up to our motto ‘the Power of Performance’ top-class genes from proven mares lines are essential.
National Foal Auction Prinsjesdag takes place every year on the third Tuesday in September. Some 80 showjumping and dressage foals, as well as an exclusive selection embryos are offered for sale on this fixed day.
