OUR AUCTION

The Youngsters Auction was founded in 2018 and has been organizing annual auctions ever since. Meanwhile, over 100 auction horses have been sold through The Youngsters Auction and many of these are currently competing at international FEI level all over the world.

Over the years, many references of The Youngsters Auction turned out to be highly successful. The 2018 top-seller Je T’Aime Z has already competed up to 1.50m Grand Prix level and is now ridden by Great Britain’s Georgia Tame. The 2019 reference Leicester became the Norwegian champion with Ada Braaten and is now successfully competed by Nicole Walker, trained by Cian O’Connor. Sweden’s Linda Heed is heading to the Global Champions Tour season with 8-year-old Calvin and Jikke-Cara shows off her enormous potential with USA’s Alison Robitaille-Firestone. In addition, horses like Lamira, Lalalie, Lahelien, Karanza, Perla Pas de Calais, Kingstone, Kaboom and many more are successfully competing in the CSIYH competitions.

From 2021, the organizing team of The Youngsters Auction decided to create two auctions instead of one per year; in the spring, an auction with solely ridden sporthorses from 5 to 7 years old and in the autumn, an auction fully focussed on 3-year-old horses presented by loose jumping. On Tuesday 24 May 2022, the 5^th edition of The Youngsters Auction turned out to be a great success with talented sporthorses sold all over the world. On Tuesday 11 October 2022, the 6th edition was a great success with 23 talents, solely consisting of 3-year-old showjumpers.

Jasper van der Waaij

Growing up on stud farm Waaij Stud, Jasper has been involved with breeding of showjumpers from day one. From an early age, Jasper bred horses himself with his own broodmares and each year, he buys foals to complete his breeding program. For The Youngsters Auction, Jasper is responsible for a major part of the training of the horses and has seen the auction horses develop from rough diamonds into talented sporthorses from first hand. Jasper is not only specialized in the breeding and training of showjumpers, he is also very focussed on the organization of the event. Jasper designs the set up of the auction, makes the time schedules and makes sure the entire operation runs smoothly.
