ANNUAL MEETING AND YOUNG RIDERS
Ensuring the Next Generation
of Breeders and Horsemen
by Willy Arts and
Christine DeHerrera
To survive and thrive, the horse
industry must bring new faces into the
fold. Although adult amateurs and professionals receive the majority of the
industry’s attention, we must encourage young enthusiasts to develop the
skills they will need to succeed for a
lifetime with horses.
To ensure that we help grow the
next generation of breeders and horsemen, the KWPN-NA has been developing programs to educate and excite
young riders—not the FEI definition of
Young Riders, but rather youth who are
interested in sport horses, whether
jumping, dressage, eventing or driving.
A real horseman has a wide variety
of experiences that are not limited just
to the show ring. To this end, we have
identified three areas in which young
riders particularly need advice and
help:
Evaluating Potential
While there are many young riders
and young professionals that know
how to negotiate a clear-round, or ride
a shoulder-in, half-pass or flying
change, these same riders don’t have
the knowledge of how to identify
potential in young or unstarted horses.
This ability to evaluate talent requires
a thorough understanding of biomechanics, movement, conformation and
the development from youngster to
performance horse.
Observing Thousands of Horses
Accurately discerning equine talent
arises from observing hundreds or
even thousands of horses. Competing
at shows is not enough to develop an
eye.
Networking
Finally, young riders need a network of horse industry veterans.
Whether a young person wants to
become a professional, or continue
their riding as an amateur, they need a
network to help them grow as horsemen and women. For riders striving to
have a career with horses, access to
professional help, as well as horses to
ride, is critical to success.
At the KWPN-NA, we are hoping
to help bridge the gap between riding
and showing, and developing the skills
and tools needed for long-term success
at our Annual Meeting, March 24-26,
2011 in Hanford, CA, at DG Bar
Ranch.
Like all of the Annual Meetings,
there will be workshops and lectures
by experts from Europe and North
America, with the new, specific goal of
preparing all visitors for the 2012 Stallion Show, which we will attend as a
group in the Netherlands. The experts
will focus on helping attendees learn to
evaluate horses for purchase, riding,
breeding or even just to become an
educated spectator. Many horses of different types will be available both in
hand and under saddle so that there are
a wide-range of real world examples.
The access to the world’s top
authorities on sport horses, and their
decades of experience, results in unparalleled learning opportunities, including insights that are often not found in
traditional sources.
While the Annual Meeting has
always been open to young riders, this
year we specifically wanted to reach
Page 4 • Newsletter of the KWPN-NA
out to them. Our goal is to create a
group within the group so that young
riders will feel comfortable asking
questions and having their specific
needs addressed. We want to help
young riders connect with each other,
and also with breeders, riders and trainers that can potentially mentor these
developing horsemen.
Caitlin Hamar and Michaela Tolman, will help young riders get the
most out of the Annual Meeting experience. Their goal is to create a supportive and nurturing learning environment
that helps young riders feel comfortable being around some of the sport’s
foremost authorities. As group, they
will also get special opportunities to
interact with the experts and ask questions.
The KWPN-NA believes that as
young riders become involved with the
organization they can network with
breeders who potentially need riders
for their young stock. It can become
win-win for both. The riders have the
opportunity to sit on quality young
horses, and breeders have access to
local riders at an affordable price.
And while riders are often very
focused on sitting in the saddle, young
riders today are breeders and judges of
tomorrow. We want to give them the
tools so that when they are willing,
able or desire to breed that they have a
good baseline to start, instead of having to learn only by trial and error.
While our goal is help young riders
develop into true horsemen, these
young people help us too. They bring
fresh perspective, enthusiasm and new
ideas that will keep our organization
moving forward.

Facebook to meet other young riders.

2010 NORTH AMERICAN KEURING
RIDING HORSES
Trying to schedule a keuring tour
around the dates of the WEG, Regional Championship Shows for Canada
and USA, and the availability of host
facilities was a nightmare. Somehow
we did, albeit the zigzag travel left one
dizzy. Toronto to Edmonton to Seattle
to California to Wisconsin to Michigan
to Pennsylvania to Maine to Florida to
Georgia. All in exactly 14 days including two educational seminars. A few
bits of Tour Trivia – temperatures
ranged from 106 degrees F (41+C) to a
lovely 67 degrees (19+), 4 time zones
crossed twice, and a total of 11,292
miles (18,172 km) from first site to last.
But let’s get on with the horses.
Beam P, photo Roy Maher
Feather Bloom, photo Roy Maher
Notable in the dressage mare class
was the beautiful black Cispoint
(Westpoint x Pribalda keur by Gribaldi pref x Daimler), bred by F.Smits
and owned by Sarah Bates. The mare
easily earned ster but was just shy of
keur eligible.
Carousel Ridge Farm, Sherwood
Park, AB
Joining the North American
KWPN jury of Deborah Harrison and
Faith Fessenden at the first location
was Toine Hoefs, KWPN jury member.

Prima Equestrian, Mt. Albert, ON
It was the fourth time Prima Equestrian hosted a KWPN keuring. Highlights include Beam P (Indoctro pref x
Pepita S keur by Emilion keur x
Larome) bred by Prima Equestrian and
owned by Maureen Smith & Susan
Parker. Beam P has been a top contender in Jump Canada as a 3- and 4Year-Old. An 8.5 attitude added to his
high Iron Spring Farm Cup score.
This location always has top
jumper foals. Two of note were Feather Bloom (Mr. Blue x Prelude keur
sport/sp by Calvados keur x Voltaire
pref) a well built filly with good body
use in her canter, bred/owner- S. Trickey & J.Dubois. Placing behind her was
Finnan (Wittinger x Cornetta by Cornet Obolensky x Pilot) bred/owned by
Alison Moore. Well built with good
bone, this colt used his top line well to
show his strong canter.

by Faith Fessenden
Carousel Ridge Farm stepped up to
host for the first time displaying hospitality and commitment to all KWPN
horse enthusiasts in the area.
Blossom ((Lupicor x Vanilla Shake
by Larino keur x Ferro pref) b/o John
van den Bosch, showed rhythm,
tempo, activity and a ground-covering
canter. Becoming ever more careful
with quick foreleg and body reflexes,
she improved the opening of haunches at every fence. Earning nothing less
than an 8 and even a 9 for reflexes,
Blossom would become the North
American Champion for the Jumping
IBOP and the 5-Year-Old ISF Cup by
the end of the Tour. She also won the
Gert van der Veen award. The Jury
especially noted the excellence of her
legs during linear scoring.
Blossom, photo Bonnie Herbers
Also in this class was Beasinaa
(Pyriet x Rosinaa elite by Wellington
keur x Ariban xx bb) bred by Alison
Hagen, owned by Doreen and Cindy
Orr. This mare showed good posture,
use of hindquarters in canter, reflexes,
attitude and rideability. With her passing IBOP the mare earned her keur
predicate.
Day ster by Gribaldi x Rossini) did not
let owner/breeder Gwen Blake down.
With her clean, correct legs and nice
movement, the mare took the Best
Adult Horse ribbon and earned her star.

Fair Rosa, photo Carolyn Bunch
Sophia, photo Bonnie Herbers
Another Van den Bosch entry was
the international jumper mare, 12year-old Sophia sport/sp (Goodtimes
x Imalve by Ekstein x Jasper keur).
She showed wonderful condition,
good feet and beautiful type allowing
to quickly get her star. An 8 for conformation, 8 for walk and 8.5 for trot
moved her to keur.
Two more entries for b/o Alison
Hagen were notable. Fancy black
Coleman (Obelisk x Jabananta ster
sport/dr by Cabochon keur x Irco
Polo) earned his ster in the Dressage
Gelding Class; and Cashew (Johnson
x Lady W keur pref by Farrington keur
x Heidelberg pref) earned her ster and
keur eligible with an 8.5 for canter and
8.0 for self-carriage.
Donida Farm, Auburn, WA
Murphy’s Law was in force at
Donida Farm with irregularities forcing dismissals in several classes. However, Contessa (Contango x Precious
What was to be the North American Champion Dressage Foal had all
smiling. Fair Rosa (Ampère x Zen
Rosa elite by Farrington keur x Jazz
pref) b/o by Dan & Gina Ruediger,
showed beautiful presence and posture. Well built, standing solidly on all
four legs, with strong croup and
haunches – Fair Rosa showed her parts
were components of a whole that
worked. She lifted fluidly with power,
showed suspension and technique in
trot with a good canter as well.
Hamacher of Florida and owned by
Dara Rip, has the same overall appearance as his sire that unfortunately died
this year. The handsome bay is wellbuilt with good legs and feet and
shows good power and articulation in
movement. We hope to see him presented next year.
In the Dressage Geldings, Bad Boy
(Olivi x Lotte keur by Damiro B x
Caritas) bred by M. Tijssen and owned
by Dantia Benson continues to show
his quality. A good-looking type, he is
correct in his movement and can throw
in that ‘extra’ when he puts the ‘pedal
down’. With his walk, trot, canter and
self-carriage he went to the head of the
class for star quality and placed first in
the Top Fives.
DG Bar Ranch, Hanford, CA
DG Bar Ranch, the de Groot family and Willy Arts always have top
horses and a well-oiled machine of
handlers and riders. Sponsors of the
DG Bar Cup, the DGB Cup classes
here are filled with some of the top
horses in the US.
A single 2-year-old colt was shown
in the stallion “pre-evaluation” class.
This class lets the owner know
whether the young stallion is a possible candidate for approval at age 3.
Dream Catcher (Contester x Gigi by
Merano x Rantares) bred by MaSu.

In the Stb/Star Dressage Mares
class the top spot went to Be Silvita
VDL (Sandro Hit x Silvita elite by
Issue 1, 2010
• Page 9
2010 NORTH AMERICAN KEURING
Flemmingh pref by Nimmerdor pref)
bred by VDL Stud and owned by
Jeanne Schamblin. This large framed
Register A mare showed suspension
and articulation earning 8’s for trot,
canter and self-carriage. Because she
also passed her IBOP, she will be eligible for the keur predicate when she
passes her veterinary requirements. In
second was her stablemate Chanel
SVS (Jazz pref x Olympia ster by Idocus crown x Wanroij) b/o by Jeanne
Schamblin. This mare was very typey,
light-footed and active in movement
and earned her ster. Two mares tied for
third, Bakara (Sir Sinclair x Thea
keur by Idocus crown x Wanroij) b/o
by Janice Kissel was a very supple
mare showing good articulation,
which served her well in uphill movement. She was designated keur eligible
pending a passing IBOP score.
canter he went to the head of the class
to be North American Champion in the
Top Fives for this age group in the
DGB Cup.
Bakara (see prior) engaged well
from behind and using her joints, with
great rideability. Her lowest scores
were 8’s on walk, self-carriage and talent, 8.5’s on all the rest for an IBOP
total of 82. In the DGB Cup her scores
held for an 81.5. The IBOP scores put
Bakara at the top of the Top Fives list
as North American Champion IBOP
mare and tied for Reserve Champion
in the DGB Cup.
gelding is a nice type, big frame, up
hill with a long neck that he uses well.
Easy moving, active, with an easy,
scopey canter his lowest score was a 7
for walk, 8’s and 8.5’s on the rest topping out with a 9 for submission.
Jumping IBOP and ISF Cup
In the Iron Spring Farm Cup
Borvelien DG prok (Canturo x
Corvelien Z by Carthago Z x Cor de la
Bryère) bred/owned by DG Bar
Breeders, showed scope and talent
especially when asked to be ridden
more forward. A single 7 was scored
with the rest being 7.5’s and an 8 for
scope and canter earned her a 75.5 for
the IBOP, a 76 for the ISF Cup, first
place at DG Bar and 4th in the Top
Fives for the ISF Cup for 4-Yr- Olds.

Also in third was Ceolieta prok,
another Register A mare (Sir Donnerhall x Jeolieta Elite by Zeoliet x
Majoor) bred by J.C. van Riessen and
owned by DG Bar Breeders. She will
also earn her star predicate upon completing her veterinary requirements
Dressage IBOP and DG Bar Cup
Bad Boy (see prior) continued to
show his quality. Earning 8’s on walk,
trot and self-carriage, and an 8.5 for
Bantana V (Flemmingh pref x
Lantan ster pref by Hemmingway x
Zuidhorn), bred by P. Verdellen Paarden Fok & Opfok and owned by DG
Bar Breeders, Inc., was a nice type and
mover with suspension and active
technique in movement. Bending nicely on circles in good self-carriage she
held her tempo well. She had only 8’s
and 8.5’s ending with an 81.5 in both
the IBOP and the DGB Cup and finished third in the Top Fives.
Brendo ster q (Florencio x Sierra
Siren keur by Volckmar x Wanroij),
bred by Luke Bianco MD and owned
by Ashlyn and Amber De Groot, made
the top places for North America a
sweep from this location with a 4th
place finish in the Top Fives. The grey

Brando KF, photo D & D Photography
Brando KF (Indoctro xNulanda
ster by Burggraaf x Voltaire)
bred/owned by Kimberlee von Disterlo of Kimberlee Farms, showed a good
attitude with care and quickness over
the fences. For the IBOP straight 7.5’s
were given with an 8 for attitude for a
total of 75.5. For the ISF Cup his technique brought the scores down slightly to end with a 74.5 and a second
place. Nevertheless, Brando KF finished 5th in the Top Fives.
Foals
The foal classes were large with the
jumper foals going first. Forevelien
DG (Idocus crown x Corvelien Z by
Carthago Z x Cor de la Bryère) b/o by
DG Bar Breeders is well developed
showing activity and suspension in
trot. In canter the grey filly was balanced with easy lead changes.
Eight first premium dressage foals
were led by two notables.
Famebria DG, photo Judy Nishi
Famebria DG (Idocus crown x
Valeska-DG elite by Krack C x Farrington keur) b/o by DG Bar Breeders.
Well muscled with a long shoulder and
good hind-leg angles, this chestnut
filly made her dam (USA Qualifier for
YHC in Verden, Germany) proud
when she lifted and moved with power
and suppleness, also showing a good
canter. Her 76 conformation and 78
movements totaled a 77.
Finally DG (Idocus crown x
Bolimbria ster by Sandro Hit x Doruto) was a mere .5 behind her stable
mate. Nicely built with a long shoulder and good croup the youngster
moved correctly with good foreleg
technique.
Following this keuring, our Dutch
colleague, Toine Hoefs, left for Holland
as the NA jury headed for Chicago.
Finishing Touches Farm,
Genoa City, WI
Meeting up with our new Jury
arrival, Bart Henstra, we drove 1 ½
hour northeast from O’Hare airport
over the border into Wisconsin. We
looked forward to visiting a new keuring location, Finishing Touches Farm,
owned by Cheryl Quick. A breeder of
German and KWPN horses, Cheryl
was tapped by two experienced
KWPN breeders and members, Tracy
Geller and Sarah Krause, to provide a
venue for the introduction of the
“KWPN system’ to a new group of
enthusiasts.
In the Dressage foals, Fabergé
(Ampère x Sandro Set by Sandro Hit
x Sion) b/o Cheryl Quick of Finishing
Touches Farm took the top spot. Beautiful in presence, the bay colt shot
upward in movement with power,
activity, suspension and self-carriage
to earn a 78 on conformation and an
80 on movement.
In Dressage Geldings, Cartouche
(Sir Donnerhall x Leolita ster sport/dr
by Gershwin x Woldstreek) b/o
Stephanie Severn of Hopeful Farm
Sporthorses, did fulfill the farm name
with an 8.5 for trot which contributed
to the 70/75 needed to meet the
requirements for star.
The jury reiterated that the ‘studbook inspection’ itself is the first of the
evaluations and is the most important.
To be admitted into the studbook is a
breeder’s goal and entitles their horses
to wear the royal lion brand mark.
Proud and smiling, all attendees lined
their horses up for that!
Claybrook Farms, Ithaca, MI
This was the sixth time we’ve been
to Claybrook Farms, and the sixth time
we’ve come away with horses hitting
the scores for a place in the Top Fives.
Chiki, photo Love Above Photography
In the Jumper Mares, Chiki set the
bar high (no pun intended). By ChinChin x Wiki ster by Lupicor x Kroongraaf, the pretty bay, bred by R.
Vroom, is owned by Claybrook Farms.
This mare exemplified a ‘sport bodytype’. Interestingly, she was supple and
showed suspension in the trot; whereas in canter she was slightly stiffer in
her back…but OH, MY! Through the
chute she showed her breeding with
huge scope and very good technique. A
7.5 for conformation and up to 8.5’s for
reflexes and scope, she easily received
her star and was designated keur eligible. At the conclusion of the tour she
was 2nd place in the Top Fives.
Iron Spring Farm,
Coatesville, PA
Iron Spring Farm has been one of
our east coast locations since we began
having keurings 25 years ago. From
their famous stallions, we’ve seen
groups of descendants grow from
keuring foals to international competitors. New to the sire line-up here is the
newly approved Florianus. Let’s see
what this year brought.
Issue 1, 2010

2010 NORTH AMERICAN KEURING
Standouts in the ‘Born before June 1’
group were:
Florence ISF (Florianus x Toscane
ster by Cabochon keur x Amethist) b/o
by Iron Spring Farm. Well built, with
a somewhat vertical neck, the bay
filly’s first step was upwards into good
movement with suspension.
Floraya ISF (Florianus x Toraya
ster by Goodtimes x Gershwin) another ISF product was lovely in type and
proportions. Leggy with a long croup
this chestnut filly held her own in the
lineup.
er contributing to the forehand impression. A few notes on his hind legs kept
the conformation score from being
higher. In movement however, this
youngster was right in the top with an
80. Presence in movement, with articulation, power and suppleness, he
could have gotten an even higher
score with a little better canter.
Dressage Mares produced another
standout.
In the ‘Born After June 1’ group the
standouts were:
First Bordeaux

Flash Gordon S.E.

Flash Gordon S.E. (Sir Donnerhall Bardot S.E. ster by Florencio x
Wanroij) b/o by Siegi Belz-Fry of Stall
Europa was next in line showing elegance and long lines, a good wither
and a good croup. Notes were made on
this colt’s light legs which kept his
score slightly lower. In movement, he
showed activity and suspension,
although brought his hocks a little
high. His canter was particularly good.
Fleetwood ISF (UB 40 x Toraya
ster by Goodtimes x Gershwin) b/o
ISF and yes, thanks to E.T., Toraya did
her job twice. A typical UB 40, this
chestnut colt was very elegant with
shape of the neck, shoulder and with-
Carte Blanche SCF (Lupicor x
Wildcard SCF elite by Goodtimes x
Silvio I) bred by Dr. Carlos & Karin
Jimenez of Sporting Chance Farm and
owned by Juliana Starbuck of Starbuck Equestrian. The bay gelding was
very expressive with a ‘sport’ look to
him. His trot showed suppleness and
suspension – underscoring his innate
ability to ‘get air’. His canter was
clear, and jumping was easy but somewhat quick (reflexes earned a 7.5) and
a little forward, but his use of neck and
back was good.
The Hunter Foal class saw a special youngster, First Bordeaux (Popeye K x Flips Last Party by The Flips
Comin x Senale Whip) b/o by Jacqueline Adams. Sire Popeye K had successfully completed KWPN-NA
Licensing right here at ISF, so it was
fitting that his son should take the
class. This elegant leggy colt moved as
he looked for solid scores.
Jumping Geldings
In the Jumper Geldings class:
Chivas (Judgement-ISF crown x
Alexis Titty II Z elite sport/ev by Alexis Z x Germus) b/o by Dayna Gant of
Apple Lane Farm, showed the abilities
of his pedigree. A strongly built
youngster showed a big strided and
active canter. In jumping, 8’s for
reflexes and technique, and a 9 for
scope locked in his star and Champion Gelding Jumper in the Top Fives.
Page 12 • Newsletter of the KWPN-NA
Catalina-ISF (Sir Sinclair x Persimmon-ISF keur sport/dr by Contango pref x Road at Sea xx) led the line
up. This elegant modern mare is a
reflection of the keuring process since
her dam was a Keuring Champion in
the past. Showing suppleness, suspension and engagement no score was
lower than a 7.5 with her trot earning
an 8. These qualities also gave her the
‘keur eligible’ status.
The Jumper IBOP and Iron Spring
Farm Cup highlighted Alexandria
ster prok (Corland x Netian Joy keur
by Ahorn Z x Miami Springs) b-Dr.
Sharon Anderson, o-Nod Hill Farm,
LLC and Dana & James Scott. The
bay mare showed eagerness with an
active and powerful movement combined with technique and scope to pass
her IBOP with a 76 and move from
ster prok to Elite. The 76 held for the
ISF Cup for 5-Yr-Olds sending her to
first place in the Top Fives.
For the Dressage IBOP & DGB
Cup, the ISF bred Citation-ISF (Contango pref x Saigon Elite by Jazz) o/r
Alex Robertson, showed activity, good
posture, suppleness, long strides with
good swing through his body and three
good gaits. He earned nothing lower
than 7.5’s and on trot, canter and submission the bay colt nailed 8’s becoming the DG Bar Cup Champion for 3Yr-Olds at this location with a 78.5.
He was tied for first place in the Top
Fives.
Pineland Farms, New Gloucester, Maine
Pineland Farms has provided their
excellent facility for keurings on three
occasions. This time it provided the
backdrop for several top horses. Day
one at Pineland was for the education
seminar with a well-rounded group in
attendance. The keuring was on day
two, beginning with the Dressage
IBOP and DG Bar Cups.
and she now carries the ster and IBOP
predicates. She placed 5th in the Dressage Ibop and 3rd in the DGB Cup for
3-Year Olds in the Top Fives.
Not to be overshadowed was the
Jumping entry bred by FE Roos and
owned by VDL Stud and Kathy Hickerson of Majestic Gaits Farm, Cenieta
(Veron x Nieta keur by Concorde pref
x Zeoliet keur). She scored 70 on her
conformation, but eyebrows rose
when she moved and jumped. Her
good attitude, active and powerful
movement with good self-carriage
served her well. Her jumping style of
care and good opening behind gave
her a 75, her ster, the Best Adult
Horse-Jumper ribbon, and a fifth place
tie in the Top Fives!
Youngsters had highlights as well.
The Jumper Foal, Fraucordia MG
(Campbell VDL x Tercordia elite by
Marlon x Acord II) b/o Kathy Hickerson, was leggy with a pretty front. In
movement the bay filly showed suppleness, self-carriage and a good canter to earn a first premium with a 74
for conformation and a 78 for movement = 76 overall and the top spot in
the Top Fives.
Cadence, photo Unbridled Photography
Receiving a 77 for both her IBOP
and the DG Bar Cup, Cadence (Idocus
crown x Vera by Don Primaire x Saros
xx bb keur) b/o Pineland Farms, started a little strung out and heavy-footed,
but soon showed her suppleness and
balance becoming more uphill with
good stride-length and clarity in her
gaits. She received 8’s for walk, canter
and her remarkable rideability. For her
linear scoring, she received a 70 for
conformation and 80 for movement
The top Dressage Foal was stablemate Frauloma MG. A Register A
filly (Schroeder x Uloma MG elite
sport/dr by Farrington keur x Goodtimes) was balanced in her body-proportions, strongly built and moved
upward with suppleness and suspension to earn a 76/76.
Pennock Point Sport Horses,
Reddick, FL
After the Pineland keuring we flew
1,500 miles south and the next day
found us at Pennock Point Sport Horses. Here we had two special Jumper
Mares.

the ISF Cup, the bay mare was happiest over the jumps with terrific reflexes (8.5) and technique and scope (both
7.5). Her beautiful foreleg technique
and attitude served her well, but she
could have opened more in her
haunches. Her talent (7.5) and attitude
(8) saw her earn a 75 overall and 2nd
place in the Top Fives.

The Hunter Gelding class exemplified the flexibility of the keuring specialization system. Breeder/owner
Nancy Debosek asked the Jury to designate and judge Cornerstone LPR
(00 Seven x Vixen LPR ster by Goodtimes x Gastronom) in whatever direction they saw fit, based on his abilities.
Good thing, too. As a Hunter, a second
premium ribbon would have been
forthcoming. As it was the Jury saw a

FUN AND FRIENDS AT THE 2010 PENNOCK POINT KEURING
Or…Successful partnering of KWPN Breeders and Trainers
Lone Palm Ranch, owned by
Nancy and Richard Debosek, is an 84
acre breeding and training facility
between Tampa and Ocala Florida.
Lone Palm Ranch has been developing it’s breeding program of KWPN
horses for 20 years, with many great
successes of top five KWPN horses in
North America, Ster and Keur Predicates.
especially has done well. In 2005,
Vibrand was awarded with a third
place for free jumping and fourth for
conformation, receiving her Star and
Keur Eligible status. This year Nancy
and Richard decided to put her
through the jumping IBOP test to
achieve her Keur predicate. At the
same time they thought to have Vixen
LPR (a studbook riding type) re-evaluated for Star as a jumper type.
Two tiny problems with this plan –
Vibrant had not jumped at all and
Vixen had only been jumping under
saddle for a short time. Nancy and
Richard decided to turn to their ‘keuring’ friends at Sakura Hill Farm for
help.

Sakura Hill Farm, owned by
Michele and Makota Sakurai, is a
breeding, training and sales stable in
Gainesville, FL, with the goal to produce international caliber show
jumpers and A-circuit hunters. Sakura
Hill Farm also offers several services
to fellow breeders, clients and riders
including young horse starting and
development, competition/training
partnerships and a working student
program. Sakura Hill’s primary rider is
daughter Monica.
For this year’s Keuring, Lone Palm
Ranch partnered with Sakura Hill
Farm LLC, with great results. Mares
Vibrant LPR and Vixen LPR are both
jumper bred, but have had years of
dressage training – in which Vibrant
Monica Sakurai and her working
student Kasey got these two mares
ready for the keuring in a mere
THREE weeks! Vibrant LPR received
her Keur and Vixen LPR her Star!
Supported by her parents, Monica also
put together a team of helpers, from
grooms to photographers, to get everything and anything done.
Besides riding Nancy’s two mares,
Monica also rode her own:
has been in training to prepare for her
IBOP during the last month. Our rider
Kasey Bedard did a fantastic job of
riding the test and her efforts were
rewarded with an Orange ribbon and
the ribbon for Best Jumper Mare of the
Keuring.
Vixen LPR (Goodtimes x Gastronom) owned by Nancy Debosek
received her Ster predicate after being
awarded 8’s for reflexes through the
free jumping chute. Vixen, also formerly a Dressage horse, has been with
us since April 2010, with a brief intermission.
Monica graduated in May, 2009,
from Mount Holyoke College in
Massachusetts as a Biology major
with the goal of going to vet school to
become an equine repro vet with a specialty in genetics. At Mount Holyoke,
she competed in the Intercollegiate
Open Division on the Hunt Seat Equitation team and consistently went to
the Zone 4 Regionals. Before graduating from high school, she was also
employed part-time as an equine veterinary technician for three years.
Ana Bella (Condios x Ekstein)
competed in the Iron Spring Farm Cup
for 5 year olds and scored a 76. The
judges commented that in their minds,
they thought that “she has the perfect
front end technique.” She scored an
8.5 for reflexes and 8 for scope.
Vibrant LPR (Orame x Wellington)

her Keur predicate after a successful
Jumper IBOP with the score of 78.

2010 NORTH AMERICAN KEURING
HARNESS HORSES
On September 10, the combined
KWPN-NA and ADHHA inspection
took place in Sullivan Ohio.
This was the fifth time that the
KWPN-NA keuring for harness horses was organized by the American
Dutch Harness Horse Association.
ADHHA is a studbook that is primarily used for Amish breeders to register
KWPN hybrids.
The jury, consisting of the Deborah
P. Harrison and René van der Kuil,
judged the KWPN-NA inspection consisting of ten older foals, three mares
and several IBOPs. There were about
60 horses for inspection in the
ADDHA. The interest again was huge
for both the keuringen and the auction.

and flexibility in trot. Also in third
place was another Whiskei son, F Lone
Ranger, o/b Alva Graber. The mother
is Sadinkie star (Ureterp x Majesty)
from the Tinkie mare line. Apart from
Whiskei foals, there were foals by
Jonker and Moneymaker.
Anna – Champion
Three were older mares for studbook. All were entered into the book,
and were star, of which one was eligible for keur, the five-year-old Anna
(Manno keur x Tina star by Renovo
pref x Fortissimo) b. Erin La Croix
and o. Noah Swartz, who left a big
impression. Even as a foal she was
very special and at the keuring in Kentucky, Kees van der Maat and Roelof
van ‘t Oever tried their best to take
Anna to the Netherlands. Anna is not
that big and her back is a little weak,
but these are the only flaws. Mother
Tina was a two-year-old champion of
National Harness Day. Anna has lots
by René van der Kuil
of refinement and expression. Her
long neck is carried well and she
comes back in the front beautifully. At
the trot she occasionally held back, but
there were times that she showed
great. She was honored as champion
of the inspection.
Slightly less qua front but even
stronger in movement was the fouryear-old Bestorita, b. Bruce Ekstrom
and o. Myron Miller. Her father is the
Hackney stallion Makari Extra Ordinary and she is out of Lorton daughter
Silondra who is out of the keur sport
mare Ilona (Renovo pref x Wouter).
Bestorita is a Register A mare and
when she meets the additional conditions she can enter the book will
receive the star predicate. The 9-yearold Uphomeena (Patijn x Phenomeen
ster by Kentuckyboy x Waterman
pref) b. Dean Wikel and o. Alan
Graber received a second premium.
This mare could be a little more longlined, but did not qualify for star
because of her movement.
Debbie Egan presented
Anna and Bestorita in the
IBOP. Anna also showed
well in harness but again
was not quite ready. She
received exactly 75 points
and therefore went from
foalbook to keur mare in a
single day! Anna is in foal to
Jonker. Bestorita was not as
convincing in harness, especially with respect to front.
Her movement was also not
as impressive as when
shown in-hand. Her total
score was 73.5 points.
Approved stallion Jonker was presented in very good
condition. The now 19-year-old Jonker (s. Renovo) was
one of the first harness horse stallions imported to the
U.S. Ron and Debbie Egan, are now the proud owners.

Two other mares per-
formed very enjoyable
IBOPs. Ray Yoder drove the six-yearold black mare Zimone (Roy M x Primone keur by Renovo x Ureterp) bred
by Jan Thijs and owned by David
Beachy and Joe Mast. Primone, is a
full sister to the watchlist stallion Seinman and to the mother of Vaandrager
HBC. With three 8½’s and three 8’s,
her total score was 82½ points. Half a
point more went to Tidee (Jonker x
Nidee keur by Cambridge Cole x Oriant) owned by Rosewood Farms, N.
Butler and K. Frazier. Debbie Egan
drove the cheeky mare who had a very
attractive front and use of the foreleg.
She showed strength and bend behind,
but the hind leg could be brought
underneath a little quicker.
Interest in the Dutch harness horse
is still great. Occasionally there are
still harness horses leaving the Netherlands for the U.S., although the breeding program is now largely self-sufficient. Interest in joining with the
KWPN-NA seems to be growing. It
appears the trend is now that the better KWPN mares are being used with
approved KWPN stallions to produce
purebred KHH horses.

SEXING EMBRYOS PRIOR TO TRANSFER
Breeders would often like to
know the sex of an upcoming
foal for many reasons. Perhaps
they are looking to breed a
replacement mare or stallion
from bloodlines selected. Or
they might have a sale of a
particular foal in-utero if it is
the correct sex. Perhaps the
mare had produced nothing
but colts and it would be useful to know if the next embryo
was going to be a filly or a colt
before transplanting into a
recipient.
VETERINARY
Currently there are only a few
ways to influence the gender of a foal.
Prior to breeding, one can try to use
timing to swing the chances in one
direction or another. For example, in
one interesting observation of wild
horses, mares that were gaining weight
when bred produced male offspring 80
percent of the time. If they were losing
weight when bred, they produced
males only three percent of the time.
Scientific studies in France and New
Zealand with horses have shown a
similar trend. Mares in poor condition
when bred produced more female offspring than when fat.
It makes sense that nature would
encourage the production of females
in lean times, when the herd may be
losing individuals. Some species of
animals even have the ability to
change the sex of their unborn offspring in response to environmental
pressures. For example, certain
species of fish and reptiles have the
ability to change the sex in the embryonic form in response to environmental influences such as temperature.
Although gender is determined by
which chromosomes are inherited,
both males and females develop the
same in the early stages of embryonic
growth, when the sex organs are rudimentary and neither female nor male.
At a certain stage, a gene activates to
cause the embryo to develop as a male
or as a female, based on a number of
factors including hormone production.
In these other species, the environment can influence that development
in one direction or another. It is
nature’s way of ensuring that a species
will continue to survive in adverse
conditions.
Therefore, timing breeding to a
stage when a mare is gaining or losing
weight may have an impact. However,
the accuracy rate certainly may be suspect.
Timing of ovulation is another
means of trying to influence the gender of a foal. Some people swear by
breeding early in the estrus cycle to
produce a filly and later in the cycle to
produce a colt. Again, there is no sure
way to select for the gender of a foal
using this method.
Sex-selected semen is now a reality in the horse world and breeders can
have semen from any stallion sorted
into “X” or “Y” chromosome doses.
The success rate of this method is over
95 percent, making it the most reliable
way of producing a foal of the desired
sex prior to breeding.
Determining sex of the embryo
What if you simply wanted to
know the sex of the foal before it is
born, regardless of whether anything
was done to produce a foal of a specific gender? Ultrasound examination of
the fetus can determine the sex of the
Page 18 • Newsletter of the KWPN-NA
foal by identifying the genital tubercle.
This structure becomes the penis in the
colt and the clitoris in the filly. At
around day 55 the tubercle migrates
toward the umbilical cord in the colt
and toward the tail in the filly.
Therefore, it is best to wait until
around 60-75 days to check fetal gender. After about 75 days the fetus starts
to be pulled over the pelvic brim and
it becomes too difficult to reach to do
the ultrasound properly; then at 90120 days the fetus can be visualized
again depending on the position.
A veterinarian who is skilled in
fetal gender determination via ultrasound can have a high success rate –
over 90 percent. However, like other
methods of determining the sex of a
foal, it is not 100 percent successful
and depends on the skill of the technician.
Sexing embryos before transfer
The first foal born from an embryo
that was sexed before implantation
was born in January 2010 in Wisconsin through the work of Minitube
International. The foal, called Biopsita, was known to be a filly before she
was born, as a small sample of the
embryo had been taken and tested
before being implanted into the recipient mare.
The successful birth of Biopsita
has opened a new door for breeders
who wish to know the sex of an
embryo before transfer. What is much
more exciting from a breeder’s perspective is that certain genetic diseases
can be screened for at the same time.
by Cindy Reich
While some may argue the ethics
of “selecting” genetically clean
embryos, is it not better to know
before putting a foal on the ground
whether it is carrying a genetic disease? From the standpoint of a breeder, buyer, and seller, this is valuable
information.
Dr. Fernando Campos-Chillon of
Equine reproductive Innovations in
Wellington, Colorado did pre-transfer
biopsies of embryos for research and
development in 2009, and commercially for a breeding season in Argentina with polo ponies. Now, in 2010, Dr.
Campos-Chillon will be offering
embryo screening to his clients.
I spoke with him regarding fetal
gender determination as will as genetic and sex screening of embryos prior
to transfer.
What age is best for doing fetal gender determination in horses via ultrasound?
Sixty to 70 days.
Does the type of ultrasound machine
make any difference or is accuracy
based more on the experience of the
veterinarian?
More
sophisticated
ultrasound
machines provide better image resolution and sensitivity. The experience of
the veterinarian is extremely important. My training started doing fetal
sexing in cattle (Over 25,000 scans).
The transition to the horse was relatively simple. My accuracy rate is
close to 96 percent. Rarely do I have
to reexamine a fetus unless the position is inadequate for good visualization.
Has anyone else done sexing embryos
prior to transfer on a commercial
basis?
How risky is it to the embryo to take a
sample? What is the best age to flush
an embryo if you wish to screen it?
Different groups (Texas A&M, Colorado State University and Minitube)
started working with this technology
in 2009. However, to my knowledge,
Equine Reproductive Innovations is
the first facility that is offering this
type of service commercially.
In our research and field studies with
over 70 embryo transfers, the pregnancy rates at day 60 were nine percent
lower with sampled embryos than
intact ones- 86 percent with intact
embryos vs. 75 percent with biopsied
embryos. The sensitivity of the genetic analysis was 93 percent: In other
words, we were able to determine the
gender of the embryo 93 percent of the
time. The embryos should be flushed
between 6.5 to 7.5 days post-ovulation
(<500 microns in size). Embryos bigger than day eight become problematic due to their size relative to the
micro-tools.
Embryo screening is quite common in
cattle. How difficult is sampling an
equine embryo compared to a bovine
embryo?
In cattle the procedure is relatively
simple if performed by a trained
embryologist. Hundreds of thousands
of sexed cattle embryos have been
transferred worldwide, especially in
the dairy industry. In the horse, due to
the unique physiology of embryonic
development in the uterus, embryonic
migration, and encapsulation of the
embryo, micro-manipulation tools and
a sophisticated microscope are necessary for success.
What other genetic information can
you get from the sample you take from
the embryo for sexing?
Since publication of the equine
genome and new molecular biology
techniques, the information that can be
obtained from embryo biopsy samples
can be extremely broad – from gender
determination to genetic diseases to
coat color. In the future SNIPs (single
nucleotide polymorphisms) will help
breeders to do genetic selection for the
traits they consider important. This
technology is already available to the
dairy industry and the Black Angus
breed of cattle.
The past few years have been extraordinary for the progress of technology
in equine reproduction. Breeders and
owners now have the ability to access
hitherto unavailable information
regarding genetic screening and sex
selection. How wisely this technology
is used will be up to the person
employing it.

KWPN TOPS JUMPING/DRESSAGE RANKINGS
Totilas and Hickstead Lead
Individual WBSH/FEI Rankings
In October the WBFSH has
announced its new rankings. For the
second consecutive year, the KWPN is
the number one studbook for both
dressage horses and jumpers, maintaining its position from last year. Perhaps even more special is the fact that
two KWPN horses lead the individual
rankings again. Last year’s leaders
were the Olympic champion Hickstead and the rising star Jerich Parzival, and this year’s top horses are
Hickstead again and Moorland’s Totilas!
Three Times a Charm for
Hickstead
The KWPN studbook leads the
jumper rankings for the seventh consecutive year. The top studbooks are
closely ranked, with the KWPN just
ahead of the Holstein studbook, and
the Selle Francais studbook in third.
The top six horses from each studbook in the individual rankings count
toward the studbook rankings. For the
third consecutive year, Hickstead
(Hamlet x Jomara ster pref prest by
Ekstein, breeder: Jan van Schijndel) is
the world’s top jumper. His achievements include victories in Calgary and
Aachen.
in the Geneva World Cup final, where
they bested their competition in the
interim standings before ending in
sixth place. With achievements such as
a Grand Prix win in Wellington and
second place in La Baule, the Zandor
Z son (out of Omara s.Fedor, breeder:
J. Dings) finished in 11th place individually.
Taloubet Z (Galoubet x Krista ster
sport/sp by Polydor, breeder: C.T.
Klaver) and Christiaan Ahlmann make
a good team. A victory in Hannover
and two third places in Valkenswaard
and Estoril, among other accomplishments, earned the talented jumper
enough points for 22nd place.
Van Grunsven Simon (Mr. Blue x
Naline ster by Polydox, breeder: M.J.
Vermeulen) excels with Jeroen Dubbeldam. His spectacular win at Spruce
Meadows, in particular, earned him
enough points for 25th place .
The last horse to count for the
KWPN is Exquis Powerfee. Although
the Fedor son (out of Toverfee prest by
Erdball xx, breeder: P.L. van der
Voort) has not yet won a major Grand
Prix, he earned many points for the
KWPN with his consistently high
placings. He ranks 30th individually.
And then there is Totilas
The Corland daughter Silvana de
Hus (out of Donate keur prest by
Widor) is third in the individual ranking. Bred by B.J. ter Denge, the mare’s
current rider is Kevin Staut. The pair’s
accomplishments this year include a
second in the Grand Prix of Gijon and
a tie for seventh in the Geneva World
Cup final.
The KWPN is the number one
studbook in the WBFSH dressage
rankings for the second consecutive
year. Individual leaders are Moorland’s Totilas and Jerich Parzival. With
Ravel in fourth place and four KWPN
horses among the top ten, the studbook
ranks well ahead of its competition.
The Hanoverian studbook is second,
followed by the Oldenburg studbook.
Urico, ridden by Mario Deslauriers
of the U.S., is the next horse to count
in the rankings. In April, they excelled
After a fantastic early season in
which Totilas won the World Cup and
all the main classes in Aachen, the
Page 20 • Newsletter of the KWPN-NA
Gribaldi son (out of Lominka elite pref
prest by Glendale, breeders: J.K.
Schuil and A. Visser) captured three
gold medals in grand style at the World
Equestrian Games in Kentucky. His
point total puts him well ahead of the
number two horse, Parzival.
Parzival beat his competition in
Stockholm, Mechelen, Göteburg, Den
Bosch, and Hickstead, and he finished
second in the World Cup final in Las
Vegas and in Aachen. Unfortunately,
he did not earn any points at the World
Equestrian Games as he was eliminated for blood in his mouth due to having bitten his tongue. Even so, he had
enough points to rank second.
Ravel had a limited competition
schedule this year. In the pursuit of just
one goal – the WEG in Kentucky,
where he won two bronze medals. –
the Contango son did not defend his
World Cup title Notwithstanding,
Ravel, ridden by Steffen Peters, earned
enough points for an admirable fourth
place in the individual ranking.
KWPN stallion IPS Painted Black
(Gribaldi x Litchy elite pref prest
sport/dr by Ferro, breeders: Frank van
de Valk and Jacqueline Anholt) finished fourth. With Anky van Grunsven,
the Gribaldi son won in Falsterbo and
placed high in Göteborg and Amsterdam. He ranks eighth individually.
The last two horses to contribute to
the KWPN’s number one ranking
competed very little this year. Bred by
Gerard Vervoorn, Exquis Nadine
(T.C.N. Partout x Charites ster pref
prest by Roemer) had a light schedule
under Hans Peter Minderhoud. However, when she did compete, she
scored high. At her last competition in
Hickstead, she received 78.850% in
the Freestyle, good for second place
and a spot in the WEG in Kentucky.
She ranks 18th individually.
KWPN stallion Scandic is the last
horse to earn points. Ridden by Patrick
Kittel, the Solos Carex son (out of
Noraline elite by Amiral, breeder:
Ineke Mosman-Rohé) consistently
scores high. His achievements include
a fifth place finish in the World Cup
final and two seconds in Göteborg. His
results earned him enough points for
19th place in the individual ranking.
Eventing
The Hanoverian studbook leads the
eventing ranking, with the Irish Sport
Horse studbook on its heels. In third
place is the Selle Francais studbook,
and the KWPN is ninth. The first four
horses contributing to the KWPN’s
ninth place ranking are Drivetime
(Rolls Royce x Etronora s.Zuidhorn,
breeder: J. Dongen), under Emily
Baldwin of the U.K.; Orlando (Corland x Panieta ster s.Lancelot, breeder
F.E. Roos) under Georgie Davies; Pardon Me II (Landwind II B x Ilonka
s.Nooitgedacht, breeder: H. Deten),
under Emily Llewellyn of the U.K.;
and Treefers (Now or Never M x
Isabel keur sport/dr s.G.Ramiro Z,
breeder: A.J. Reef), under Emily Parker of the U.K. These are followed by
two horses who owe their ranking to
Dutch riders: Vira (Jazz x Option G by
Whinny Jackson, breeder: I. van
Rossum-van den Heuvel), under
Elaine Pen; and the 2010 Dutch
Champion, Van Schijndel’s Concrex
Owaola (Indoctro x Ewaola ster pref

2010 WILLY ARTS GRANTS
Before we could arrive in Kentucky though, I represented Region 4
In March 2010 I learned that I was at the National Dressage Seat Medal
a lucky recipient of the Willy Arts finals at the Lamplight Equestrian
Grant. I was very excited because my Center. This was an experience like

was thrilled to find that
Romincka and I had placed
in the top 5. We then went
into the ring where they
announced the actual placings. I couldn’t believe it, I
was the National Seat Medal
Champion! We had to pack
up quickly while celebrating
because we were due to
arrive in Kentucky the next
day. I met my team and we
settled into Kentucky without any problems. Riding at
the Kentucky Horse Park,
which was almost fully prepared for the WEG, was an
amazing experience. My

grant went to qualifying shows. During
this time period, I
learned how difficult
the FEI JR tests were
compared to Third
Level. I ended up
being the only Junior

The 2010 competition year was
definitely a successful one thanks to
the Willy Arts Grant. In addition to the
lifetime of good memories, I met so
many new people, including Willy
Arts himself. The connections I made
will stay with me through the years as
I continue to develop my dressage
career. Also, these experiences add to
my resume which is allowing me more
opportunities to expand upon my dressage education. For example, I was
selected to ride in a clinic with Jan
Ebeling in December. I’m very grateful that I was selected to receive this
grant and would recommend it to all
Junior and Young Riders in the future.
Willy Arts Grant Follow-up: I
heard about the grant program through
the KWPN website and magazine.
This award benefited me greatly. It
aided me in attending the NAJYRC at
Kentucky Horse Park and the Dressage Seat Medal Finals at Lamplight.
The things I learned in preparing for
these events have made me a better
rider and educated me in dressage further. I would absolutely recommend
the Willy Arts Grant to another Young
Rider.
JACLYN SILVER
When I found out that I was one of
three winners for the Willy Arts Young
Rider Grant I couldn’t stop smiling for
days, and had shortly formulated a
plan for my-self and my new handsome Dutch Warmblood Uranus (Farrington x Jameela by Roemer, bred by
Joe Snyder of HHH Ranch).
But does anything ever go as
planned? Not usually, especially when
it comes to horses.
recovery and reconditioning
mode. Cooper is improving
quickly and is back to building
up his muscles. Along with this
reconditioning Cooper has developed more confidence and trust
in me and our partnership. This
was my entire original goal when
I applied for the grant. I think that
next year will be amazing for us,
as he and I continue to improve.
Jaclyn and Cooper, photo Nyk Tripp
A little about Cooper (his new barn
name) and I, He was actually gifted to
me by his breeder in January of 2010.
I was over the moon! I had known and
ridden this horse for almost two years
prior and couldn’t possibly think of
ever parting with him. Then to be
selected to win the grant was a great
start to our year, and our partnership.
However around March we found
that Cooper was staring to get stiff and
sore and cranky about working. The
soreness was obviously in his back.
The more I asked for better work, the
worse it got. Making a long story
short, my vet and I concluded that his
SI (sacroiliac) joint was very sore.
Which, in turn, was affecting his low
back, all the way up to his neck and
left front leg. After a bit more digging
into his past, we found that he had also
previously injured his low back as a
youngster and this current issue was
more than likely a re-injury. I have
been determined to make sure that this
never happens again.
Unfortunately, all this meant rest
and hand walking for Cooper and no
shows or clinics for the both of us. So
we have spent the last eight months in
The KWPN-NA has been
gracious enough to let me continue using the grant through the
next show year till it is all spent,
as I have barley spent any of it
this last year. I want to thank the
KWPN-NA for this amazing opportunity and introduction to the breed registry. Also Mr. Willy Arts for choosing
me, and Little Creek Farm for their
generous sponsorship and for making
all of this possible. I am so excited to
have a horse of this magnificent breed
and to be a part of this grant (for two
years!) and the registry. See you all
next year!!
LAUREN GRIFFIN
After Lauren and Fascination (aka
Funnest) were announced as one of the
winners of the 2010 Willy Arts Grants,
her horse became lame and the pair
was unable to compete.
As a result Lauren was not able to
receive the grant money. We wish her
the best and if she is able to find another KWPN partner, we hope she will
re-apply for the Grant.
WILLY ARTS GRANT
Once again, the KWPN-NA is
excited to offer the Willy Arts
Grants for Young Riders sponsored by Little Creek Farm.
In 2011, the grants have been
increased to $3,000 each. These grants
are intended to recognize and aid in
the development of top performing
KWPN-NA horse/rider combinations
in a Young Rider division.
Eligibility:
• Rider – The applicant must be a current KWPN-NA member (any type),
between the ages of 16 and 21, and
be competing on a KWPN registered
horse in a recognized Young Rider
program.
• Horse – The horse must be KWPN
registered and have papers on file at
the KWPN-NA office. If not owned
by the competitor, the KWPN-NA
office must have a current lease on
file.
• Ownership – The current owner
must be owner of record on the registration paper on file. If the competitor leases the horse, the owner does
not need to be a current member.
Winners may use funds to cover
lesson or clinic fees, competition fees
for Young Rider Finals, or for educational seminars or demonstrations.
Young Riders meeting the eligibility requirements may submit an application for the grant to the KWPN-NA
office on or before February 28th of
each calendar year. Grant recipients

KWPN Center in Ermelo will be
ready in 2010
2011 KWPN Stallion Show in
’s-Hertogenbosch
KWPN Approves Eleven Stallions after Fall Test
The KWPN has had a long-standing goal of acquiring its own equestrian center where it can host events such
as sales, auctions, the performance
test, and the mare tests - and properly
receive its foreign guests. Recently,
the KWPN decided to begin construction on a center on the grounds of the
existing federation center in Ermelo,
the venue for the KWPN Horse Days
event. The new KWPN Center is
scheduled to open in 2012.
This year’s KWPN Stallion Show
will be held February 2 - 5, 2011 in ’sHertogenbosch, Netherlands. The
event includes KWPN College for foreign visitors, the 2nd and 3rd round
viewings of approximately 250 young
stallions, exhibitions by already
approved stallions from the jumping-,
dressage-, harness-, and Gelder horse
breeding directions, and more! Of
course, the KWPN Select Sale - an
elite auction - will follow the KWPN
Stallion Show, and a special Guided
Tour will wrap up the entire event.
Don’t miss this unique event and be
sure to order your tickets early for the
Stallion Show and Guided Tour. To
enhance your Stallion Show experience, translation headsets are available
for rent.
During the final exam in Stegeren
the KWPN announced the approval of
eleven stallions - six jumping, four
dressage and one Gelders.
First Round Stallion Selections
As in past years, the first round
viewing of young stallions was held in
Ermelo. Of the 700 stallions entered in
the selection, 182 were selected to go
to Den Bosch.
In total 118 young jumping stallions and 58 young dressage stallions
were selected for the second round in
Den Bosch. With three older jumpers,
two older dressage and the Thoroughbred Hopalong Cassidy xx, the number comes to 182. This means that
36% of the jumping stallions presented and 29% of the dressage stallions
presented will go on to the next round.
Berlin had the highest number
(nine) of jumper offspring in the second round, followed by Canturano
(six), Cardento (five), Mr. Blue (five),
Vigaro (five), Indoctro (four), Lucky
Boy (four) and Whitaker (also four).
For the dressage stallions Vivaldi is
the highest with five offspring, followed by Jazz (four), Wynton (four)
and Westpoint (three)
With 84.5 points, the 4-year-old
Bretton Woods (Johnson x De Niro)
was the top scoring dressage stallion
of the test, while Falaise de Muze
(Wandor van de Mispelaere x Nabab
de Reve) was the top scoring jumper
with 84 points.
Eleven Sallions Approved Fall of 2010

FROM THE REGISTRATION DESK
There are a couple of things we
would like to bring to your attention.
and we would like to take this opportunity to get this information to our
members.
The first is a change in DNA testing procedures for our Canadian
breeders. As you all know DNA
parentage verification is part of the
registration process. Due to problems
caused by inconsistency in getting
results and the often-long time lag
with results from the lab in Canada,
we can no longer accept DNA done in
Canada. We are committed to registering foals in a timely fashion and that
time lag has presented problems for
keuring, shows & sales. Therefore,
henceforth all DNA parentage verification pertaining to the registration of
a foal will need to go through UC
Davis via the KWPN-NA office.
Second, pertains to a horse’s markings and color. When taking the photos for registration please be sure to
take the photos on a flat surface, clear
of debris in natural (daylight) or welllighted area so that the foal’s true color
& markings may be seen clearly.
When printing the foal’s photos,
please make sure that your printer is
printing properly and shows your
foal’s true color. The office will
request additional photos if the foal’s
color is in question. The office generally follows the Jockey Club markings
and colors guide, and might change
markings and/or color of a foal accordingly. As always, we would be more
than happy to re-print your foal’s
papers to update its markings or color,
you will need to provide the office
with new photos (showing the markings/color clearly), the original papers
and the $15.00 re-print fee. You may
also choose to wait until the three year
old studbook inspection for your horse
and the KWPN-NA jury can update
your horse’s color at that time.
Lastly, mailing of registration
papers. In some instances registration
papers have been lost in the mail. If
you have not received your horse’s
registration papers in a timely fashion
please be sure to contact the office. For
foals, the registration process can vary,
but if all paperwork & DNA is in
order, the entire process should take
around 2 months. For Transfer of
Ownership, if all paperwork is in
order, the turn-around time is usually
3-4 weeks. The time to process Duplicate registration papers may vary
depending on whether the horse is on
file with the KWPN-NA office or if
they must be requested from the
KWPN in Holland. Registration
papers being updated due to Keuring
generally ship from the office in
November of the Keuring year. Papers
are normally mailed out by standard
first class mail. The KWPN-NA office
does offer special mailing options for
registration papers: certified mail in
the U.S. for $5.00, registered mail to
Canada for $15.00, or three-day
express saver courier service in the
U.S. for $25.00 and to Canada for
$30.00. If you have a courier service
account, you can also send us that
information to use. If you would like
your registration papers shipped faster,
additional fees will be required. If you
choose to use standard first class mail,
you will be responsible for any potential loss.
Our goal is to serve you better. If
you have any questions or suggestions,
please contact the office. Thank you
for your continued support, we look
forward to a great year in 2011.

KWPN 2010 SPRING PERFORMANCE TEST
Three young jumpers, five
young dressage stallions and
two harness horses were
accepted into the studbook
besides the four older stallions
that were Erkend or approved
earlier this spring.
DRESSAGE
2010 SPRING TEST
Jumpers
Eldorado van de Zeshoek (Clinton x
Toulon) and Spartacus (Stakkato x
Grannus) participated in the 21-Day Test.
Both stallions were erkend with high
scores, respectively 87.5 and 86.5 points.
Eldorado van de Zeshoek received no less
than a 9.5 for scope and nines for reflexes
and talent for jumping. Spartacus received
nines for reflexes, scope and talent for
jumping. Of the seventeen 3-year-old
jumpers that started the test, three were
approved.
Dressage
Of the eleven dressage stallions that started the test, five participated in the final
exam. All five passed the exam. The highest score went to Charmeur (Florencio x
Trendy elite by Jazz) bred by Huub van
Helvoirt. The four-year old Bon Bravour
(Painted Black x Odette keur pref by
Chronos) was also approved.
Harness
Four harness stallions participated in the
final exam, of which two were accepted
into the studbook. Cizandro (Waldemar x
Uizandra ster by Manno) and Crescendo
HBC (Wodka HBC x Landini ster pref by
Fortissimo) were both very convincing,
especially Cizandro who received a top
score with all nines and a 9.5 for self carriage.
Gelders
Gelders breeding has been enriched by
approval of the seven-year old ZZ-light
dressage stallion Wilson (s. Koss, formerly known as Widor). Wilson is a full brother to Vasco, who was previously selected
for a performance test.

Breeder: W.J.M. van Beek
Owner: K. Kelders, Belgium
Pedigree: the father of Bon Bravour,
Grand Prix stallion Painted Black, is a son
of the preferent Grand Prix stallion Gribaldi. Painted Black has been successful at
international dressage with Anky van
Grunsven. Dam Odette is a daughter of
Chronos, who also had a successful sport
career. She is a keur preferent mare that
was the reserve champion at the Central
Keuring in Brabant and who finished at the
top at the National Mare Show. Besides
Bon Bravour she also produced a Z dressage horse by Ferro, a NMS mare by Ferro,
an elite mare with a good test by Jazz and
a second ring stallion also by Jazz. Grandmother Hinsley is ster and brings
Anglo/Arab blood through Linards x. The
mare line then continues with the mare
Christel, a keur daughter of Souvenir, and
herself a champion of the CK in the
province of Noord Brabant. It then continues with Velibor, a preferent prestatie mare
by Doruto, who is also the dam of the
Grand Prix dressage horse Joy (s. Ulft) and
a ster mare by Frappant.
Conformation: A very well developed
stallion with a good dressage model. The
head is expressive. The neck has good
length and the muscling comes from deep
in the chest. The wither is very well devel-
Page 30 • Newsletter of the KWPN-NA
oped with good length. The shoulder has
good length and position. The back has
good length and muscling. The croup has
good length, position and muscling. The
foreleg has more than sufficient length
with a somewhat straight pastern. The
hindleg is correct. The base is more than
sufficiently developed and has more than
sufficient quality. The feet are more than
sufficiently developed.
Test report: Bon Bravour is an honest,
reliable stallion with a good attitude. The
stallion is very willing to work and he
works well. The walk is pure with good
scope but should show more activity. The
trot has more than sufficient to good scope.
The hindleg bends well and comes underneath well, but should be a fraction quicker. The stallion closes easily and then
brings the hindleg actively underneath the
body. Bon Bravour has good carriage and
balance in movement and shows more than

champion breeding stallions (TP). He is
also the first approved grandson of the keur
stallion Patijn, who is now developing his
own sire line. Mother Uizandra ster (s.
Manno) is a full sister of the watchlist stallion Vulcano. She is out of the keur preferent mare Izandra (s. Renovo), the 1992
national Harness Day reserve champion
and half sister to the stallion Handro (s.
Waterman). This honors class horse served
the breeding program for several years.
Grandmother Zandra (s. Proloog) keur
preferent prestatie was UTV champion as
a 3- and 4-year old. The dam line of great
grandmother Sandra keur preferent produced many keuring aces and various competition horses, including the stallions
Kentuckyboy (s. Holland’s golden Boy)
and Ulandro (s. Manno).
Conformation: A well developed and very
harness type built stallion that carries his
well-built neck well. The topline is good

foreleg well. The hindlegs flex and come
underneath very well. The trot has very
much suspension. The stallion has very
much enthusiasm. Cizandro has very much
talent for harness work and gives his driver a very good feeling.
Stall behavior: An honest, reliable stallion
that is easy to handle. In the beginning he
was restless in his stall. During the test this
improved noticeably.
Veterinary report: In April there were
symptoms of a skin infection on the right
shoulder for which he was medicated.
Cizandro did not meet the radiograph
requirements for the right knee, which was
a Class ‘C’ OCD. The stallion committee
used their regulatory prerogative to accept
a stallion with a Class ‘C’ OCD.
Semen quality: Sufficient.
Breeding advice: Mares bred to Cizandro
must be long lined with a long poll. Cizandro should positively influence the elevation of the forehand and harness type
movement, including strong hindleg use.
