KWPN Breeding News
Four dressage bred colts have dropped out of the 2015 KWPN Stallion Performance Testing, which is going on at the KWPN headquarters in Ermelo, The Netherlands, from 17 March 2015 - 23 May 2015.
Seventeen dressage bred colts began the testing and after three weeks, the KWPN licensing committee has sent home four stallions. The daily training of the stallions is supervised by Henk Hammers.
The drop-outs are:
- Hornrose (by Apache x Ferro x Dageraad)
- Hey Joe (by Diego x Lord Leatherdale x Almox Prints)
- Hugo Boss (by Negro x Welt Hit II x Urban)
- Total U.S. (by Totilas x Sir Donnerhall x Don Schufro)
Hornrose, Hey Joe and Total U.S. will get the opportunity to try again at this year's KWPN testing in the autumn.
The first official mid-term evaluation of the dressage stallions will be on 8 April 2015.
The KWPN Performance Testing takes 50 days in total.
