2004 KWPN Select Sale Colts Selected
December 31, 2003
 After three successful editions, the KWPN Select Sale has earned a fixed
place in the programme of the KWPN stallion approvals in Den Bosch. On
Saturday 7 February 23 stallions will come under auctioneer Hans Sinnige's
hammer. The group of three-year-old stallions that have been selected for
the auction are extremely interesting for both sport and breeding. The
selection committee of the KWPN Select Sale is extremely satisfied with the
quality of the stallions that, after the first viewing, were up for offer at
the selection days. All horses have been chosen for breeding, type, movement
and free jumping. Above all, the horses have undergone X-rays and veterinary
clinical examinations.
All the stallions are presented in the catalogue, which will come out in the
first week of January. Images of each stallion have been recorded and can be
seen on the presentation DVD. The quality in general is excellent and there
are a number of outstanding examples: one of the horses that was very much
admired at the first viewing in Ermelo is U2. This son of Sunny Boy out of
Fastrona 'keur preferent' (sire Aktion) is owned by Gerrit en Leontien ter
Hamsel of Enter. UB40 too (Olivi x Michelangelo) of family Van Os has made a
big impression at Ermelo and at the selection days of the auction at
Roosendaal.
 One of the eye-catchers among the show jumping horses is Up to Date (sire
Stakkato). With his carefulness and unlimited power this chestnut stallion
can look forward to a career as an international show jumper. Up to Date is
owned by Jan Evers of Vlierden and Egbert Schep of Tull en 't Waal.
Heartbreaker has two offspring in the auction: Wil Schellekens's USA Today
(dam's sire Capitol I) and Unique le Sursaut (dam's sire Oula Owl xx) of
Stal le Sursaut of Heerle. Unique le Sursaut is a full brother of the
licensed stallion Sibon W who in 2002 was sold at the KWPN Select Sale. The
successful combination of the 'preferent' stallions Voltaire and Nimmerdor
bring to this auction Umberto,extremely complete show jumper. This
combination previously supplied the international show jumpers Kannan and
Gyltaire.
As already mentioned, the auction will take place on Saturday 7 February in
the Brabanthallen in Den Bosch as the conclusion to the KWPN Stallion
Approvals. In the three days prior to the auction, all information
concerning the stallions is available at the KSS sales room. What is more,
as an extension to the auction, the KSS VHO Sale has been organized. In the
sales hall next to the KSS sales room, there will be about 30 three-year-old
stallions for sale that can be presented by the KSS sales team for those
interested. Buyers in both the KWPN Select Sale and the KSS VHO Sale can
insure their purchase immediately with Amev Hippo Paardenverzekering.
 From the beginning of January, all auction horses with their descriptions
and photos can be viewed on www.kwpn.nl For more information or for the
