The week has gotten off to a good start in Ermelo: exactly half of the jumper stallions presented today received an invitation to the second round viewing. Among them are five sons each by Harley VDL and Kannan.

Of the 42 stallions presented, 21 have been designated for the second round viewing in ’s-Hertogenbosch, including several good jumper stallions. The predicate stallions Harley VDL and Kannan each boast five sons selected for ’s-Hertogenbosch. “We had a good start today with the jumper stallions. This morning, we had to make some comments on the legs, which prevented us from selecting several good jumper stallions for the next round. In addition, we had quite a bit of French blood in the arena today, and we hope to hold on to some of it by the end of the journey," said committee chairman Cor Loeffen. "You know that Harley VDL offspring don't usually excel at free-jumping. They're often a bit too hectic and eager, but overall we were able to properly assess the stallions today, and we can bring five interesting sons. That also applies to Kannan, from which we selected several attractive sons.  You also know that this stallion often produces late-bloomers, which really excel in the sport later on.” The most remarkable horses of the day include the athletic Oklahoma van de Zelm (s.Kasanova de la Pomme); the well-built Juventus V G (s.Kannan); and the Kannan son Junior Kannan, who shows excellent body use over obstacles. Photos will follow shortly.
