At the upcoming Driving World Championship for Pairs, taking place from 20 to 24 August in Beekbergen, no fewer than 143 of the 257 registered horses are KWPN-registered. That’s 55.6% of the total. The strong presence of KWPN horses among the competitors reflects the immense popularity and quality of the Dutch harness horse in particular within the international driving sport.
The KWPN (Studbook of the Royal Dutch Sport Horse) is a Netherlands-based organization specializing in the breeding of jumpers, dressage horses, harness horses, and Gelder horses.
