We have some truly exceptional foals and that\u2019s essential, because in Germany we will once again face a professional and critical audience with a keen eye for quality foals,\u201d say Luk Van Puymbroeck and Gerald Lenaerts.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:post-content -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Flanders Foal Auction is part of Holger Hetzel\u2019s prestigious and high-stakes young horse event, the&nbsp;\u2018Tiemeyer x Hetzel Young Horse Masters\u2019. A competition centered around young showjumping talent from five to eight years old, it\u2019s the perfect setting for a high-level foal auction.
