Gestion Silvano N produces price highlight of Midden Beemster Auction

Auctioneer and stallion owner Piet Meinen was more than pleased with the results of his auction in Midden Beemster, The Netherlands. Besides the large interest shown by many visitors and spectators, the 1999 Foal Auction can be seen as a profound (financial) input/stimulant for the Dutch Warmblood Breed. Price high light of this year's auction was Silhouet, a bay filly branded KWPN but primarily carrying a Holsteiner lineage. The lovely movind Silhouet is sired by Dutch Dressage Team stallion Silvano N. Silvano N is a Holsteiner bred sire by Silvester and is stabled in Germany. Trained and shown by the Dutch Ellen Bontje, Silvano has been a paramount contributor to team silver at the 1999 European Championships. Silhouet is out of a Flemmingh x Wellington dam. Second most expensive foal was the show jumping prospect Saloubet. This colt is sired by Rodrigo Pessoa's Galoubet de Rouet, the winner of the 1998 Volvo World Cup Show Jumping Competition. Saloubet carries Libero H x Pilot blood in the dam line.
