The North American Dutch Warmblood society (NAWPN) has awarded six crown predicates to American owned Dutch warmbloods for their achievements at international Grand Prix level. Amongst the recipients of the crown predicate are Steffen Peters' Ravel and George Williams' Marnix.

A crown predicate is a performance predicate awarded to stallions, mares and geldings competing at FEI levels. To be considered, horses must be within the 200 top-ranked dressage horses in the WBFSH/FEI rankings.
