Half way through the 2020 KWPN Autumn Stallion Performance Testing, seven colts out of 20 that started have dropped out of the testing.
The autumn testing began on Monday 12 October 2020 and concludes on Friday 30 October 2020.
This is the first performance test of 2020 as the spring edition got cancelled due to the corona pandemic.
On 21 October a mid-way assessment was done and three stallions were sent home by the committee: the Oldenburg bred nameless colt by For Dance x Sir Donnerhall, Mobil Sollenburg (by Total U.S. x Jazz), and the Westfalian premium stallion Voyager RS2 (by Vitalis x Sir Donerhall). The owners of Voyager have decided to have him gelded and focused on sport. RS2 Dressage purchased him for 125,000 euro at the 2019 Westfalian Stallion Licensing.
The committee asked two stallions to come back for the 2021 KWPN Spring testing: Maddock (by Dettori x Krack C) and Mandela (by Franklin x Easy Game).
Two further stallions had already quit the test after week one: Lord Lorenzo DB (by Gotcha Utopia x Uphill) and Miami Turfhorst (by Toto Jr x Don Schufro). The latter will get a second chance in the 2021 spring testing.
