Kuyten lost her father to the effects of the disease. She wants to contribute to research into pancreatic cancer and offer support to patients and their families by auctioning off her Christmas pony. It is not known how much Merry Christmas, which is changing owners before the start of the official auction, will fetch.

The Christmas edition of Suus Kuyten Auctions will take place on December 16 and, according to its namesake, will feature a selection of promising young show jumpers. Each and every one of them has great potential and they are ready to prove themselves in the sport. We are auctioning 27 selected horses, all of which are characterized by quality, character, and talent,” says Kuyten, who is renowned as one of the country’s best show jumpers.

According to her, the horses from previous auctions have proven their talent in the sport. This reinforces our confidence in this festive edition, because we are aiming for a wonderful Christmas atmosphere. And for those in the know: this year’s young talents come from renowned bloodlines such as Emerald van ‘t Ruytershof, Chacco-Blue, and Dominator 2000 Z.
