The final presentation is organised on Saturday May 28^th, and that makes coming Tuesday the last official evaluation. Yesterday, the stallions got the chance to get used to an audience, as a group of interested people attended their performance as part of the ‘warm welcome’ initiative. “It was a bit exciting for the stallions to see a crowd but overall, their rideability was good and we could assess them well. The stallion selection committee is convinced this performance test is going to yield a group of highly useable stallions”, tells senior-inspector Henk Dirksen. For veterinary reasons it was decided to refer the four-year-old Toulon-son Newton E to the autumn performance test. This brings the current total number of stallions to nine three-year-olds, three four-year-olds and one six-year-old jumper stallion in Ermelo.
