KWPN Online Stallion Auction

We would like to facilitate stallion owners in all sorts of ways, which is why we started in 2018 with an online auction for stallions that were presented in the 1st round viewing: the KWPN Online Stallion Auction. 
On the auction website the collection is published with extensive information about the stallions, including photo and video recordings made during the first round viewing.

The stallions taking part in this auction have undergone a full veterinary inspection, both X-rays and clinical.

First round viewing

The stallion selection and inventory of high-quality young, almost three-year-old stallions consists of several viewings. The first round viewings for the KWPN selection process for jumping, dressage, and Gelder stallions begin in December. Over a period of several weeks, the stallions are presented daily to the stallion selection committee, which consists of three breeding and sport horse professionals. At the first round viewing, stallions are evaluated for any observable genetic abnormalities or deficiencies. Next, they are judged at the walk and trot on hard ground. This allows the committee to clearly observe any abnormal movement and/or leg stance. Finally, dressage stallions are judged on their free movement, and jumper and Gelder stallions are assessed for their free-jumping talent. 

From the first round viewing, the best stallions are referred to the second round viewing, which will take place during the KWPN Stallion Show in Den Bosch.
