On Wednesday morning 5 October 2011 the KWPN stallion licensing committee reviewed the candidates for the 2011 KWPN Autumn Performance Testing a third time before they could officially start the testing in Stegeren, The Netherlands.
Eight dressage stallions were presented under saddle by their own rider, seven of them were accepted for the testing. All stallions were vet checked before they were stabled at the centre for the 50-day testing.
In agreement with the owners the licensing committee recommended that Dondersteen, the United x Sir Sinclair offspring, would do the testing in the spring of 2012. The other seven horses which will commence their 50-days are:
- Deniro VOD (by Hotline x Michelangelo)
- Denzel (by Tuschinski x Tango)
- Dark Pleasure (by Ufo x Jazz)
- Davinci (by Valdez x Voltaire)
- Deejay (by Vivaldi x Farrington)
- Desperados (by Vivaldi x Havidoff)
- Dream Theather (by Wynton x Ramiro)
