The final result of the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition Class L was already known after the last selection, and during the KWPN Stallion Show, these stallions were once again presented to the public. The son of Escamillo, Extreme U.S., can now add the overall victory in this competition to his achievements.

In Class L, the final standings of the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition were determined based on the three competition rounds. During the KWPN Stallion Show, the stallions gave a free presentation, explained by Marian Dorresteijn. With a lead of more than two points, Extreme U.S. (Escamillo out of Viva Contana PS by Vivaldi, bred by Gestuet Lewitz from Steinfeld) under Renate van Uytert – van Vliet secured the title. "Extreme is a stallion with three exceptionally good basic gaits," Marian explained. "He naturally has a lot of presence and a good, level-headed character. In the competition rounds, his ability to switch gears was evident time and time again."
