The breeding values have been estimated using information from sport, inspections and talent tests and in addition the available DNA profiles (genotypes).
The DNA profile of the horse itself is included here.
The breeding values are presented in relation to the dressage breeding direction.
An average KWPN dressage horse has a dressage breeding value between 80 and 120.

The mare Damaris STR scored 80 points for conformation and performed a good IBOP test, scoring 8's in almost all categories. Her sire Jazz is famous for producing numerous good sporthorses, approved stallions and above-average broodmares. The stallion Vincent was successful in Grand Prix dressage under Annemarie Sanders-Keizer. Imagine's dam-line has produced several Z-level dressage horses.
