The final class of the Blom Stallion Competition at the Peelbergen Equestrian Centre showcased a strong group of promising young stallions. No fewer than fourteen stallions jumped double clear over the two rounds.

After the second round, the stallions were evaluated by stallion selection committee members Eric van der Vleuten and Wout-Jan van der Schans. “We’ve seen a very strong group at work today. One by one, these stallions show great potential for the future, which aligns with the impression we already had after the performance test,” said committee chairman Van der Schans. “We also saw that the riders are doing a great job with these stallions, most of them jumped around very easily and showed a good attitude. That’s a very positive sign for what’s ahead.”
