Glamourdale's great-granddam Clementine is by the Pericles xx son Ulft.

On May 16 and May 19, 2014, four direct Thuja offspring were evaluated, particularly on hock conformation. All four were deemed to have correct hocks. As a result of this information, plus the fact that Thuja earned the preferent predicate and, at age 3, exceeded the standard for studbook acceptance (also with respect to leg conformation), the Stallion Selection Committee decided to approve Glamourdale for KWPN breeding, despite the above report.

This report is based on data and knowledge available at the time of approval (spring 2014). Some data in this report may be revised at a later date if new data or knowledge becomes available.
