A foal for a good cause – Joker for children in need

Saturday evening was all about the Flanders Foal Auction and full of unforgettable moments. One of them marked the beginning of a very special project close to our hearts. Together with Uwe Schmitz, CEO of FRANKONIA Eurobau and owner of the luxurious Hotel The Wellem in Düsseldorf, we had already announced our intention to purchase a foal and later auction it off at our Showjumping Horse Auction in November 2025 in support of a charitable cause.

We ultimately secured the winning bid for Joker v/d Nachtegaal Z (by J-Nius V.V. Z x Chinchero), a strikingly marked colt from the proven Cumano line. In a thrilling bidding duel, we were able to acquire this exceptional young talent, who now stands as the official charity foal of our 2025 auction.

Until the auction in November, we will closely follow and document Joker’s development.
This unique project is our way of contributing to a better future – for children in need.
