Following the continued success of previous editions, the collection is once again tailored specifically to the American circuit. Building on the momentum of past years, the selection committee believes this year’s group stands out for its versatility, overall quality, rideability and talent.
A fine mix with lots of potential
The class of 2026 is a fine mix of jumpers, hunters and equitation horses. Among the standout jumpers are Hurricane (by Halifax vh Kluizebos), Name of the Game HX (by Gasphar), No Nonsense NH (by Harley VDL), and Come Home (by Messenger) – horses that combine scope, carefulness and the mindset required to rise the ranks at top level.
Extraordinary hunter prospects
Several hunters in this year’s lineup will surely turn heads and have the potential to shine in the ring. One that particularly draws attention is Culiko EB (by Casall). Originally approved as a stallion in Europe and now gelded, he has already demonstrated his skills in the jumping arena with the Bengtsson family. With his balance, technique and overall presence, he appears exceptionally well suited to develop into a fantastic hunter – underlining the potential of the collection.
Continue the success story
Overall, the 2026 collection represents a strong combination of experience, quality and there is even a small surprise. For the first time a future championship hunter pony is added to the mix as well. With horses that are not only talented but also well-produced. “Many of the horse have been schooled within our own stables”, says Paul Hendrix. “ We are confident this group will once again create excellent matches for the American circuit and continue the success story of the past years”.
Presentation
The presentation of the horses is set for Tuesday 10 March, also at WEC. Next to the trials, interested parties have the opportunity to see the horses in action. “We look forward to welcoming many equestrians, both to the presentation and to the auction”, Paul looks ahead. We look forward to hosting the auction at this fantastic venue again and also to catch up with some of the previous auction graduates.” For more information about the collection and upcoming auction details, please visit:
