Fourteen 3-year old colts were approved at the 2024 Danish Warmblood Stallion Licensing in Herning on Sunday 10 March 2024 and got a 1-year old breeding permit.
The licensing committee, consisting of Jens Søgård, Karsten Petersen, Rune Willum and Johnny Sørensen, named three stallions premium: Plus Horses Redemption, Sarai L and Select Me. This is atypically more strict as in the past six years the committee always named seven stallions premium (except in 2021 when there were six).
A group of 67 dressage and jumper stallions were shown on hard surface on Thursday, and 24 dressage bred colts then were assessed on the lunge line on Friday. The colts had a day off on Saturday, and on Sunday they were shown in freedom. In the end 14 got their permit, seven of them are owned by Helgstrand Dressage.
"Most stallions are of really good type, some are nice models, and there were just a few that did not get approval because of the type," said licensing committee member Jens Søgård. "Most stallions stand very correctly on their legs, and this is important. What ultimately separates them is the stallions' functionality in movement."
The 14 that were approved for 1-year breeding will have to do the autumn's 35-day stallion performance test:
