A review of this year reveals that so far 11,000 foals have been registered. You can still register your foal for documentation. The stallions with the most foals in the jumping, dressage, and carriage horse categories were announced last week, and we end with the smallest breeding direction. Which Gelder horse stallions were responsible for the most foals in 2023?

Out of the 11,000 foals, the division between jumping and dressage foals is approximately equal, with roughly 5,000 foals registered for each breeding direction. In addition, 168 Gelder horse and 519 carriage horse foals have been registered.

Top 5 sire animals:

1. Edmundo (s.Upperville), 30 foals
2. Alexandro P (s.Koss), 23 foals
3. Henkie (s.Alexandro P), 20 foals
4. Odin (s.Edmundo), 18 foals
5. Imposant EM (s.Danser), 10 foals

Haven't registered your foal yet?
If you haven't registered your foal yet, the KWPN offers foal registration services, taking care of everything. By registering your foal, you also apply for its passport. The paternity check of the sire is included as an additional service. If you reside in the Netherlands or Belgium, a KWPN passport consultant will sketch and chip your foal, and your foal will be entered into the National Database. Throughout the first year of your foal's life, you will receive several mailings with relevant information.
