With two victories in his pocket, no stallion is close to the striking Highway M TN (Eldorado van de Zeshoek out of Zelena by Chellano Z, breeder Peter Verdellen Horse from Horst) ridden by Patrick van der Schans. He holds the lead in the standings in the L class jumping with 73 points, two more than the interesting Hotspot (Hors la Loi II out of Hermione de la Pomme by Nabab de Rêve, breeder Family Dingen from Sint-Oedenrode) under Mathijs van Asten. But the differences are small, because Hermantico (Comme Il Faut from Chiquitta Colbert GTI, breeder M. Renzel from Oererkenschwick) follows with Jesper Romp at only half a point behind. While defending Champion Grandorado TN (Eldorado van de Zeshoek out of Charmieque elite IBOP spr EPTM spr sport-jump by Carolus II, breeders M. Rietberg and D.J. Verhoeven from Holten) with Willem Greve was defeated yesterday by only a margin by Isah Cup champion Global Express (Orient Express from Lady Ricard by Laudanum xx, breeder Haras de Gisloterie from Sainte Marquerite d'Elle) with Lennard de Boer, he still is in the lead in the standings. The difference between the two top-talents is only two points.

The well jumping Gino (Biscayo from Lady Bureveld elite IBOP jump pref by Burggraaf, breeder NWJ Duineveld of Hem) is Bart Bles third in the standings after three rounds. Also in the Z / ZZ a very successful stallion is in the lead. Under Albert Zoer Florian (Zirocco Blue VDL from Beyoncé star sport-jump by Cardento, breeders and P. W. T.F. Pijnacker-Dam from Augsbuurt) won in Zuidbroek which brought their total to 52 points, a lead of four points on the winner of the first leg Freeman VDL (Emmerton VDL of Be Helena keur IBOP jump by Chin Chin, breeder: VDL Stud in Bears) with Jur Vrieling. El Clarimo (Clarimo from Ulrika by Limbus, breeder Birgitta Jonasson from Linderoed) follows with 38 points under Zoi Snels in third place. Dressage With his victory in Zuidbroek, Hometown (Apache from Toroso V ster by Ferro, breeder J.A.G. Bouwmeester from Wilp) and Diederik van Silfhout came level in the L-class standings with Trafalgar (Totilas from Paola by Lord Loxley, breeder Haupt- und Landgestüt Stiftung Brandenburgisches from Neustadt) under Marieke van der Putten. They are both on 254 points, closely followed by the winner of the first leg: Daily Diamond (Daily Deal from Fairy Tale by Fürst Heinrich, breeder J. H. Hormann from Landesbergen) under Dana van Lierop. The winner of the contest in Kronenberg is the Gelder stallion Henkie (Alexandro P out of Beaujamanda ster by Upperville, breeder Gait Hekkert from Wijhe), which finished second with high points in Zuidbroek ridden by Adelinde Cornelissen. In the first show, however, he started in the Gelder league, and those points do not count towards the standings in dressage stallion competition. Also in the M class, the differences are small. Defending champion Glock's Toto Jr. (Totilas from Desperada by Desperados, breeder Schmidt from Naumburg) ridden by Marieke van der Putten is with 267 points in the lead. In Kronenberg and Zuidbroek he was defeated by Guardian S (Bodyguard Moorland out Amadin S elite sport-dr IBOP- dr pref by Trento B, breeder Peter van de Sande of Liempde) under Kirsten Brouwer. In the standings, the difference between these top talents are small. He follows in second place with 265 points, which brings him with eleven points ahead on Totilas-son Governor (out of Orleans elite pref prest by Jazz, breeder J.B.J.M. Streppel from Wilp) under Adelinde Cornelissen. In the Z-Class Four Legends KS leads (Wynton from Vienna elite pref Ferro, breeders Hans en Grietje Jansen-Blanken from Joppe) with Stephanie Kooijman. But, despite his victories in Ermelo and Kronenberg, the difference with number two is minimal. Only two points is between him and the winner in Zuidbroek, Foundation (United out of Wiana ster pref by Jazz, breeders J. A. and B. Naber from Vredenheim) under Franka Loos. That promises in all classes an exciting battle! The finals of the KWPN stallion Competitions will be held at the KWPN stallion Show in ‘s-Hertogenbosch.
