AES Champion Ribbon for King Pleasure B!
Another success for stallions that were auctioned three years ago at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. Marcel Smit's For Pleasure son King Pleasure B was declared champion at the AES stallion selection in Schijndel. The Ferdinand son Kadym BM also earned the AES breeding license at this inspection.
The AES spring stallion selection resulted in eight three-year-old show jumping and two dressage stallions with 'Licensed' status, which means they can serve up to 30 mares. Jury members Bert van den Oetelaar, Koen Olaerts and Marthijs Brouwer were most impressed by the athletic King Pleasure B (For Pleasure from Gracelottie B by Nabab de Rêve) with great use of the body and jumping with ease. Three years ago he was born by breeder DP van Beelen from Oostveerne and he represents the prominent Lottie/Zottie line. At Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, King Pleasure B came into the hands of Marcel Smit, who now successfully introduced him in Schijndel.
Impressive Kadym BM
From the same class comes the now AES-approved stallion Kadym BM (Ferdinand x Sorento) owned by Willeke Bos. This breeding product of Jessica Mom from Donderen made a good impression under the saddle, where he stood out with his strength and imposing appearance. Both AES-approved stallions already came to the second viewing of the KWPN.
