Nine stallions have successfully completed the 2024 KWPN autumn stallion performance tests. In a break with tradition, no scores were given to the stallions, only feedback.
Bart Bax chaired the stallion licensing committee and on the final day of the testing gave a public commentary on what the committee liked about each stallion as was as gave some "advice for the future".
Right before the final exam, two stallions had ended the testing: Risky Business (by Koning x Desperado) and Ramiera de J (by Las Vegas x Don Gregory). They can try again at next year's spring testing.
The nine who fully completed the test with the approval of the committee also passed and are now officially licensed to breed. Two of those stallions saw they original name changed into a KWPN preferred anglicized, unoriginal version.
