On this day the Gelder stallion Ojee B (Ibsen B out of Jorien Tilde PROK elite IBOP by Rubus B, bred by G.S.W. te Bokkel of Eerbeek) will presented under saddle for the first time. Last autumn he was registered as a stallion, this presentation is part of the trajectory towards full approval.
Jumper stallions
The first assessment of the jumper stallions takes place tomorrow morning at 08.00 hrs.

Dressage stallion
Last week, during the arrival of the three-year-old stallions, one stallion showed to have a swollen jaw. This stallion was asked to come back to Ermelo today. However, it turned out that the jaw was not fully recovered and therefore the stallion has not started his performance test.
