Performance test Gelder stallions
For Gelder stallions, it is possible for them to be presented for the spring test immediately after designation as a three-year-old, the subsequent autumn test, or the following year's spring test lasting 28 days. The owner can choose whether to have the stallion tested as a riding horse (aptitude for both riding and jumping) or as a driving horse. After successfully completing the performance test, there are two one-day tests in the discipline for which the stallion has not undergone an aptitude test.
