evaluate bloodlines, horses, understand the culture and work your
purchasing needs all the way down to getting your new horse shipped
back home. Let us know if you are looking for something, so we
can notify our contacts and they will be prepared to show you what
your looking for. You don't have to be buying a horse to go on
the tour.
We recommend Hotel Vught as a place to stay while you
are at the Hengstenkeuring. Email me for details. We've
reserved a block of rooms with a good rate for those that are
participating in the tour. Contact us to get the information
for this as we need to keep track of the rooms that are reserved.
This is a great time to visit Holland as the airfares
are really cheap right now. Email me or Barb with your
questions and I'll be glad to help.

2001 First KWPN Stallion
Select Auction:
KWPN SELECT SALE DURING STALLION SELECTION
The first edition of the KWPN SELECT SALE will take
place on Saturday afternoon 3 February 2001. At the stallion
selection in s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands, a group of 22
selected three year old stallions will be sold by auctioneer Dirk
Zagers. The KWPN (Royal Warmblood Studbook of the Netherlands) and
the VHO (Society of Stallion Rearers) have come together to organize
the elite auction that will be trend-setting both nationally and internationally.
All the stallions presented at the auction have been
directed for a second viewing of the stallion selection. Most
importantly, they have satisfied the X-ray demands that the KWPN asks
for in order to be sent through to the performance tests in Ermelo.
The KWPN SELECT SALE will take place immediately after the
champions selection. It is very well possible that amongst the
horses on offer in the auction there will be participants in the
champions selection and stallions who are referred to the
performance test.
For the KWPN SELECT SALE there have been 22 stallions
selected (see list). These have been photographed for the catalogue
and put on video at stud station De Havikerwaard. The auction
catalogue and videos will be ready on approximately 15 January and
will be sent to potential buyers.
