Genetically High-Quality Collection of Jumper Foals and Embryos in SLF Auction August 26-28

Aug 26, 2023

The very successful SLF Auction of Harrie Smolders, Walter Lelie and Niels Fabrie is back on the calendar for the end of this week with a fantastic collection of genetically high-quality foals, embryos, and a few youngsters. View the collection at www.slf.auction. Online bidding is possible from August 26 to 28.

 

With a few spectacular offspring of the famous stallions Emerald van't Ruytershof, Darry Lou and Uricas van de Kattevennen, it is clear that the third highest placed show jumping rider in the world, Harrie Smolders, is part of the SLF team that is always looking for good show jumpers and foals for their auction. Smolders and his SLF partners Walter Lelie and Niels Fabrie only pick an auction date when the quality of the collection found can withstand the judgment of all three; a guarantee that the quality is very high every time.

 

For this week's auction, in addition to the mentioned offspring of Smolders’ stallions Emerald van't Ruytershof and Darry Lou and his up-and-coming Uricas van de Kattevennen (Smolders’ choice for the European Championships), there is also a stunning colt by Conthargos VDL, a direct son of the stallion Heartbreaker (!) and an embryo by Kasanova de la Pomme out of the only daughter of Daniel Deussers Killer Queen! Performance all over! The collection includes several colts with absolute stallion approval potential.

 

One of the Emerald offspring comes from the dam line of Maikel van der Vleuten’s super talent and pick for the Europeans, O’Bailey vh Brouwershof and another Emerald from the famous Van de Donkhoeve line (Don Juan van de Donkhoeve recently won the Grand Prix of London and team silver at the Olympic Games in Tokyo under Jessica Springsteen). There is also a mare by Darry Lou out of the sister of two 1.60m horses, a stallion by Balou du Reventon out of the dam line of Quickly de Kreisker, and so on.
