Eye-catchers in the ending

Pretty average

“With buyers from the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Germany, Great Britain and Ireland, international interest was again high, but surprisingly enough, a number of Dutch investors also took a chance,” says Arjan van der Waaij. “The most striking dressage foals provided the highlights this edition and ultimately raised an average of more than 13,000 euros. An average of 11,500 euros was paid for the jumping foals, which brings the average to 12,300 euros,” the chairman looks back with satisfaction on the 32nd edition of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag.
