Tops International Action will donate proceeds from star foal to Emma Kok’s Charity
One of the highlights of Tops International Action on 30 September 2023 will be the auction of a star foal to raise funds for the charity foundation of young Dutch singing sensation Emma Kok.
Emma, who recently performed during Andre Rieu’s huge concert in The Netherlands, will perform exclusively during the auction evening of entertainment before the foal that is by Chacco Blue and the great mare Zantana Z will be auctioned for her charity.
The proceeds from the successful bid will go directly to Emma’s foundation Gastrostars, which she set up to fund research into her incurable disease, which means she can only eat through tube feeding.
Andre Rieu introduced Emma during his concert and spoke of her “rare but terrible disease” and praised her “beautiful voice”. Emma, who captured public hearts with her angelic and powerful voice when she won The Voice Kids The Netherlands, used her prize money from winning the talent competition Ministars to set up her foundation.
Chacco Blue x Zantana Filly:
The foal is out of the high-quality mare Zantana Z who had significant placings in major CSI5* competitions on the Longines Global Champions Tour circuit and inherited outstanding qualities from her mother Pristana. This mare jumped Grand Prix and World Cups ridden by Daniel Deusser when riding at Stal Tops. This special filly by Chacco Blue, out of an international dam and CSI5* Grand Prix granddam truly has a dream story.
The collection of Tops International Auction is selected to the highest standards of quality, potential and pedigree. We looking forward to welcoming you to the first ever Tops International Auction!
