Complete horses
The main supplier, Jameson RS2, had five sons selected today, while Glamourdale had four. Chairman Bart Bax is very satisfied with the stallions they have been able to select for the second viewing. "We started this morning with a good feeling in the alley, but unfortunately, not all stallions were able to convince during free movement. Fortunately, we have seen a good number of stallions that could convince both in terms of conformation and movement, and we look forward to seeing these stallions in Den Bosch. However, there are also stallions that today could not make enough impression with the canter, especially lacking strength and balance in the turns, and the walk proved to be a point of attention," acknowledges Bart Bax. "Nevertheless, we were able to conclude the day with a good feeling. Within the committee, we are in agreement, and the quality of the horses determines the result; we only consider the pedigree in a positive sense. The collection for Den Bosch has received valuable additions today, and we eagerly look forward to tomorrow."
