After two inspection days on 5 - 6 January 2012, the Danish Warmblood stallion selection committee picked twenty young dressage colts which move on to the 2012 Danish Warmblood Stallion Licensing in Herning in March 2012.
Thirty colts were presented on the first viewing day held at Stallion Station Katrinelund on Thursday 5 January 2012 and six dressage colts received a positive verdict from the committee. The committee gave a green card to:
- Commander HS (by Come Back II x Lordship) - Breeder/Owner: Helle Hautopp & Kristian Svenningsen
- Frydendal's Quito (by Quaterback x Hohenstein) - Breeder: Heidi Sørensen - Owner: Birgith Thomasen & Kirsten Rasmussen
- Quitaro (by Quaterback x Sam Sam) - Breeder/Owner: Lisbeth B. Andersen
- Betacci (by Temptation x Weltjunge) - Breeder: Richard Nielsen & Ib Kirk - Owner: Ib Kirk
- Touché (by Tuschinski x Solos Landtinus) - Breeder/Owner: Lisbeth B. Andersen
Almost 40 colts were presented at the second viewing day held at the national equestrian centre in Vilhelmsborg on Friday 6 January 2012. In attendance of a larger crowd, the licensing committee picked 14 colts for Herning, including four offspring by Zack (by Rousseau).
The 2007 KWPN licensing champion Zack, owned by Blue Hors, already had several sons presented for licensing at the German breed societies but they all failed to impress there. In Denmark itself, all four of the presented stallions were selected to appear at the Licensing. The mighty Blue Hors stud currently has six colts through to the next round.
