The saddle presentation and delivery of the jumper stallions went smoothly today in Ermelo. Five four-year-olds and fourteen three-year-olds have taken up stables at the KWPN Centre.

Twenty stallions were on the start list, of which 19 were successfully presented under their own rider, checked by the veterinarian, and delivered for the performance test.

Large group
Senior inspector Henk Dirksen speaks on behalf of the stallion selection committee. “The delivery went well today. The owners of one stallion, Silent Touch VN, a United Touch S son, decided to withdraw the stallion; he may return at a later stage to participate in the performance test after all. All other stallions were found to be trainable and rideable by the stallion inspection committee, and also received clearance from the veterinarian. It is a large group, partly because we naturally do not have a performance test for the three-year-olds in spring, and we look forward to their development in the coming weeks. Tomorrow at 08:00, an evaluation under the test riders is scheduled.”
Among the delivered stallions is also the voluntarily participating Cumano de Zelande Z (v.Cumano).
