Dressage Press Release

The NEXGEN team are proud to present their inaugural auction as part of the NEXGEN Young Horse series from the 23rd to 25th September 2021. Since its launch in 2020 the NEXGEN Young Horse series has brought together the UK’s best four- to seven-year horses of the three Olympic disciplines which culminates in a young horse festival at the infamous Hickstead Showground. All finalists go through a qualifying process throughout the proceeding months and unify at the final to compete for an overall £52,000 prize fund!
New for 2021 the NEXGEN team will include the inaugural NEXGEN auction with a brand-new innovative concept: All auction horses are qualified finalists and will compete at the final at Hickstead where buyers can watch them live or on the livestream and bid for their favourite online over the three days of the show. Potential buyers will be able to see all horses in a Championship environment without any staged or re-shot auction videos - Total transparency! All horses have undergone a 5-stage vetting and radiography examination which will be available to view for registered bidders on www.nexgenauction.com.
The Dressage lots consist of six dressage diamonds and is spearheaded by the 7-year-old KWPN Nourjev son Woodcroft Jamais Noubliez, a consistent young horse winner at 4-,5-, 6-and 7-year-old. He is no stranger to the competition ring and is qualified for the British Dressage 7-year-old Championship at the National Championships 2021. He impressed the judge in the NEXGEN qualifier with his paces and rideability as well as the confidence with which he mastered the challenges of the 7-year-old test - He is ready to compete at Prix St George.
He is joined by three top 6-year-olds: The grey KWPN gelding SJL King, is from the dame line of Charlotte Dujardin’s Grand Prix horse Tatler as well as Carl Hester’s Ekitof, with great looks and rideability as well as scores in British Dressage Medium level up to 76%. He has competed at Young Horse Semi-finals, Regional Championships as well as Premier League shows and a top prospect for the future.
The chestnut KWPN gelding Kastello by Blue Hors Zack is a beautiful model with three super paces. He is also a great campaigner in the dressage arena winning five out of six British Dressage classes with scores up to 75%. He has also started competed at British Dressage Medium level and is training at the higher levels. Another classy young dressage horse with a bright future.
The group of 6-year-olds is concluded with the dreamy Finisterre (by Finest), a dark diamond with three big paces. Finisterre has been aimed at the young horse circuit and has competed at Myerscough Premier League consistently being placed in the top 6. Finisterre shows a huge amount of talent for the highest levels and is ready to take the dressage world by storm.
The two rookies of the selection are the 4-year-old SJL Zapphire, a stunning BWP gelding by Blue Hors Zack. This gorgeous young dressage talent has impressed in the NEXGEN qualifier at Arena UK with total composure, showing three elastic paces and a polished performance. The sky is the limit with this young performer.
Last but certainly not least in the NEXGEN dressage collection is the 4-year-old KPWN daughter of Spielberg, Marysette SK. Her sire Spielberg needs no introduction being also the sire of several international Grand Prix horses including Olympic Silver medallist Suppenkasper. Marysette SK herself showed her authority in the dressage NEXGEN qualifier at Felbridge Showground delivering a test full of poise, confidence, rideability and talent. This young mare will be a dressage force to be reckon with.
