New concept for the KWPN licensing in 2020
Before this years licensing the lunging part was added as an extra day to the pre-selection at 21 January, but without consequences for the already selected stallions for the licensing, only as a part of the consideration when making further selection at the licensing. With this years experience going into the licensing, the lunging must for sure be part of the 2021 edition of the KWPN Stallion Show, as it is a very valuable tool in order to evaluate the balance, self carriage, elasticity and contact.
The “CHAMPION” was missing
6 Premium stallions were named, but the traditional excitement for the ranking at the final presentation was missing - no Champion named. Out of the 6 new Premium stallions, H2R picked 4 of them (already after the lunging) as they were showing obvious qualities.
Another 13 stallions selected today - a total of 35 stallions invited for the performance test
