The jumper bred colt Chic Philyra V.V.Z (by Cornet Obolensky) became the price highlight of the 2020 Foal Auction Prinsjesdag on 15 September 2020. 

 

Held on a beautiful late summer day, the Prinsjesdag auction was a hybrid event, with a live auction in Ermelo, but bidding could also be done online. For the dressage foals the majority sold live at the event.

 

Bidders from all over the world showed there interest in the Prinsjesdag foals and eventually the foals were sold to clients from the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Australia, Poland, Sweden, Great Britain, Hungary, the United States and Austria.

 

We are delighted that our new purchase has become the top seller of this auction - sold for 40,000 euros!

 

It was worth it, Chic Philyra VV Z is one of the first offspring of Gibrouille du Lys - an exceptional mare, daughter of Quaprice Bois Margot, perhaps one of the greatest jumping talents in the world and she participated in the European championships in Aachen in 2015 and the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. She also competed in many Nations Cups for Spain and was placed multiple times in the Global Champions Tour. What's more Chic Philyra V.V. Z is a son of Cornet Obolensky - his sporting future looks really promising!
