Part of Danish Warmblood press release
At the Danish Warmblood Stallion Licensing in Herning 21 dressage stallions and 10 show jumping stallions in the group of untested stallions were approved Sunday afternoon. 11 became premium stallions
Group I at the Danish Warmblood Stallion Licensing consists of stallions that have not yet passed a performance test and these youngsters are predominantly 3-year-olds. In the past, the Danish Warmblood breeding committee appointed a champion stallion in each discipline, dressage and show jumping, but in order to avoid too much focus on one untested young stallion the procedure has changed. The best individuals of the collection are appointed as premium stallions, but not no champions are named.
This year the judges found the quality of the young stallions very high, and hence a total of 31 were approved –21 dressage stallions and 10 show jumping stallions out of which seven dressage stallions and four show jumping stallions were awarded premium.
Sunday evening the approved stallions were inspected for a 10-day observation test prior to commencing the breeding season. The stallions are lightly ridden at the test where they are being observed for rideability, temperament and stable vices. Only if the 10-day observation test is passed with a satisfactory result, the stallion may proceed to carry out breeding duties this year and must return to the stallion licensing next year for a new approval.
