The 23 appointed dressage stallions appointed to the performance test were just presented in hand for one more time. The stallion selection committee decided to invite three to the premium round. 

After the presentation in hand, the chairman of the stallion selection committee Bert Rutten explained the findings of all the stallions. For three of them, the explanatory notes have to wait a little longer because they are expected to return in the presentation for premium stallions tomorrow. Among them two sons of the remarkable Grand Prix stallion All At Once. The explanations provided by the stallion selection committee conveyed that the selection not only focused on the stallions’ own qualities but certainly also on the added value breeding wise. Several stallions received the benefit of the doubt because they were above-averagely interesting from a genetic point of view and a large number of stallions has made a great impression through both conformation, pedigree and performance.
