2017 BWP Suitability Competition

The 3-year old Orpheus van het Kinschot and the 4-year old Benicia became the winners of the suitability test for Belgian warmblood registered dressage horses on Sunday 29 October 2017. Organized the BWP branches of Limburg and Brabant, this talent search and suitability test took place at Woutershof in Hasselt, Belgium.

For the second edition of this suitability competition the entries had doubled from last year. Eighty combinations showed up. The judges officiating were Frenk Jespers, Ludger Neuhaus, and Jef Govaerts. The organizers were thrilled with the event and praised that "the breeding of dressage horses in Belgium is on the right track." However it is worth nothing that the pedigrees of all top scoring horses was entirely dominated by KWPN or German blood and very few traces of original BWP blood was to be found in the bloodlines

In the 3-year old division the BWP registered but completely KWPN infused Orpheus van het Kinschot (by Charmeur x Obelisk) scored the highest marks of 84 points. The bay was presented by Jan Liebregts and earned  17/20 for walk, 17 for trot, 16 for canter, 17 for self carriage, 9 for rideability and 8 for general impression.  Saskia van Es and the KWPN registered stallion Jaccardo (by Desperado x Jazz) placed second with 83.5, followed by Bart van den Eynde on the mare Olympic Aroma Krack (by Ampere x Don Romantic) on 83.5 points.

The 4-year old division Belgian junior rider team member Suraya Hendrickx steered the Hanoverian bred Benicia (by Benicio x St. Moritz) to victory with 85 points. Klaartje Dumon became the runner up aboard Special No Limit (by Special Agent Amour x Riccione). Sasha de Wolf and Ice (by Estoril x San Remo) landed third place with 80 points. The highest scoring BWP registered horse in the 4-year old division went to the fourth placed mare No Fear van den Bruel (by Special Agent Amout). She finished fourth under Klaartje Dumon.
