The stallion selection committee jumping has nominated the stallion Denzel van ‘t Meulenhof for recognition. The General Board has formalized the nomination. 

“Generally, stallions are recognized based on their own remarkable accomplishments in sport. Denzel van ‘t Meulenhof was nominated thanks to the exceptional performances of his offspring. A significant percentage of his first crop is already performing at the highest international level of sport”, explains senior inspector Henk Dirksen on behalf of the stallion selection committee.
