This afternoon, seven of the nine KWPN harness horse stallions listed on the start list were driven during the third presentation day, which also served as the delivery day, taking place in the Willem-Alexander Hall due to the weather. All stallions were given the green light by both the stallion selection committee and the veterinarian, allowing them to start the performance test at the center.

This third presentation, during which the stallions were driven according to protocol, was also a selection moment, partly based on trainability. The stallion selection committee, consisting of chairman Wim Versteeg, Bauke de Boer, Thomas van der Weiden, and inspector Viggon van Beest, announced their findings immediately through Wim Versteeg after each harnessed presentation. All the stallions—four three-year-olds, two four-year-olds, and the six-year-old—were referred to the subsequent veterinary examination, where all were again given the green light. Once again, a good number of spectators were present.
