Today, Saturday, October 12, six harness stallions were presented at the interim examination at the PAVO track in Ermelo. Five stallions may continue the investigation, while one will proceed at their own expense.

Thus, six stallions participated in today's interim examination as part of the performance test 2024, which began after the stallions were presented three times by their own trainer on September 30 with seven stallions. Training supervisor Demi van Nispen and second rider Gijs Rozendaal presented the stallions alternately, ensuring a very smooth flow of the examination afternoon. The stallion approval committee was made up of chairman Wim Versteeg, Thomas van der Weiden, Bauke de Boer, and inspector Viggon van Beest, who explained the proceedings to the audience before the presentation. The stallions were presented in front of the competition cart, beautifully braided, and in show trot, with suitable accompanying music provided. As always, a large audience gathered at the KWPN Center in Ermelo to follow the performances of the harness stallions. Notably, there was a significant number of children present today.
