Four nominated Prinsjesdag stallions!

The KWPN Stallion Show is over and it was a wonderful reunion with a few stallions that were auctioned as foals at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, as well as many loyal entrants, buyers and others involved in the stand next to the main ring. Four stallions have been invited for the performance test.

On Wednesday, the Dominator Z son Defender VDS Z (ds.Padinus), bred by Daphne van der Scheer, was definitely one of the highlights. The stallion was sold as a foal at Foal Auction Prinsjesdag to his current owner Herman Verhagen. Genetically very interesting is the Illinois BZ (Ideal de la Loge x Elvis ter Putte), bred by Erik and Josje Sleutels, who was auctioned as an embryo in our auction and thus was born in the stables of current owner Rinus Blom. He also showed a lot of jumping talent. On the second jumping day, Willem Greve's Grandorado TN son Mevano (ds.Indoctro, breeder Jan Arend Bouwhuizen) did well and this athletic jumping stallion also earned an invitation for the KWPN performance test.

Dressage talent
Among the dressage stallions, the beautiful Apache son Mapache (ds.Desperado, breeder Willem Goesten) who moves uphill has rightly become a public favourite. The jury was also charmed by Ad Valk's stallion and with that he is another step further towards KWPN approval. Breeders and owners: congratulations on this success and good luck for the future!
