The Belgian Mare Auction will take place on Wednesday evening, December 18, in Eemnes, one day after the Suus Kuyten Auctions. It is an initiative of the Belgian Studfarm De Wilde, in collaboration with Suus Kuyten and Harrie Wiering. Nico De Wilde and his son Marco, long-time participants in leading foal and embryo auctions, had been considering the idea for some time. \u201cWe are always looking for exceptional broodmares to enhance our breeding program and have noticed a growing interest in this area,\u201d explains Marco De Wilde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Broodmares are occasionally featured in online auctions, but there has not yet been one fully dedicated to them. \u201cWe aim to complement other auctions, such as those selling our foals, as we don’t want to step on anyone\u2019s toes. While it would have been easier to make this an online auction, adding a live element makes it far more enjoyable. People gather, share drinks, and have fun together. Being able to use Suus Kuyten\u2019s venue right after her auction is a fantastic opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
World\u2019s best broodmares
While curating the collection, Marco De Wilde considered the Hippomundo rankings. \u201cWe want to offer broodmares from the lines of the top-30 broodmares in the world. For example, we have mares from the lines of Qerly Chin, Fragance de Chalus, Electra van \u2019t Roosakker, Sophie du Chateau, Only Picobello and the Klapscheut family, as well as daughters of 1.60m Grand Prix mares. To make it even more exciting, some mares are being auctioned with a frozen embryo or even a recipient mare carrying an embryo. This allows breeders to get started immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Highlights
Among the highlights is Ursulle (Cabdulla du Tillard), a sibling of Panama du Seigneur and bred out of the 1.60m Grand Prix mare Mic Mac du Dieu Demon. Another standout is C-Anka (Cornado I), bred out of Anka, with Marcus Ehning the 2003 World Cup Final winner. In 2023, C-Anka\u2019s Heartbreaker foal sold for \u20ac50,000 at the Flanders Foal Auction. \u2018Flanders\u2019 also sold a foal by Ermitage Kalone for \u20ac50,000 this year, bred out of Elektra Hero (Elvis Ter Putte), who is now available for purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gagnante de Muze, a sibling of Mylord Carthago and Bamako de Muze, has also produced popular auction foals, including a Heartbreaker sold for \u20ac52,000 via Zangersheide. This year, a four-year-old Cornet Obolensky son of Chialou, fetched \u20ac70,000 at Schockem\u00f6hle\u2019s auction. Broodmare Chialou is sired by Chacco Blue and is bred out of the 1.60m Grand Prix mare Baloupetra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Appealing to all
\u201cWith this collection of broodmares, you can breed something truly unique for the sport or participate in foal auctions. It\u2019s appealing to everyone, from hobby breeders to professional stables,\u201d says Marco De Wilde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
