Dutch Emmelie Scholtens and Norwegian Isabel Bache have been invited as guest judge riders for the 2012 Swedish Warmblood Stallion Performance Testing. The testing takes place 25 February - 3 March 2012.
The performance test includes stallions between the ages of 3 and 5 as well as older, foreign stallions which seek approval for the Swedish warmblood society. The event will also feature a dressage and show jumping stallion competition, in which stallion owners can put their sires on display to the public and judges.
The Swedish Performance Testing has changed slightly this year as guest judge riders will test the 3-year old stallions on the final day of the second phase. Bache and Scholtens have been hired as riders.
The stallion selection committee includes Christina Olsson (Chairman and conformation judge), Frenk Jespers (gaits), Susanne Gielen (sport ability gaits), Dieter Schule (international judge, gaits), Michael Nolin (judge jumping), Henry Lannér (judge jumping), Rigmor Arvidsson Maggi (sports representative jumping), Hans Horn (international judge jumping), Malena Behring (veterinary member), and Emma Thorén Hellsten (administration).
