With the competition still wide open, the conclusions of the stallion competitions promise to deliver three thrilling days during the KWPN Stallion Show. The start lists for these finals are now online.

During the KWPN Stallion Show, the finals of the stallion competitions will take place over three different days: the Blom Stallion Competition Jumping on Thursday, the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition Dressage on Friday, and the KWPN Stallion Competition Gelder Horse on Saturday.

Blom Stallion Competition Jumping
In the 1.10m class of the Blom Stallion Competition Jumping, a total of sixteen stallions will compete in the final. Eight horses remain on zero penalties after three selection rounds, but the combinations with four penalties are still in contention. In the 1.20m class, fifteen KWPN-approved stallions have qualified for the final. With victories in IJsselmuiden and Groningen, the Ipsthar son Ovinio, ridden by Bas Moerings, leads the rankings, followed by the Kronenberg winners Tattoo H&DB TN (by Parfait van het Schaek) and Fabiënne Lichtenvoort Cats.

For Pleasure son
In the 1.30/1.35m class, New Pleasure VDL is currently at the top of the rankings. This For Pleasure son, ridden by Hessel Hoekstra, claimed victories in both IJsselmuiden and Groningen. Last year, this duo won all three selection rounds and the 1.20m final. Will they manage to outperform the other thirteen finalists this year in the 1.30/1.35m class?

Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition Dressage
In the L class of the Anemone Horse Trucks Stallion Competition Dressage, the competition has already been decided. Pina Colada, ridden by Bart Veeze, secured wins in both Ermelo and Groningen, making this Governor son the winner of the stallion competition. A total of twelve stallions will be presented in the L class. In the impressive setting of the Brabanthallen, the focus is on providing stallions with a positive and welfare-friendly experience.

In the M class, Secret Lover (by Secret), ridden by Charlotte Fry, and Obsession Taonga (by Vitalis), ridden by Lara van Nek, are the top contenders for the title. Additionally, Ozzy TN (by Ibiza), ridden by Kim Alting, is also competing for victory. Only these three stallions have qualified for the final, while other stallions will participate in a presentation. In the Z/ZZ class, three KWPN stallions will compete in the final. Everest (by Especial), ridden by Charlotte Fry, currently leads the standings, followed by New Dreams (by Jerveaux), ridden by Adeline Cornelissen, and Network (by Just Wimphof), ridden by Femke de Laat. Newport (by Glock’s Toto Jr.) will be presented by Febe van Zwambagt in a demonstration.

KWPN Stallion Competition Gelder Horse
On Saturday, the final presentation of the KWPN Stallion Competition Gelder Horse will take place. In the driving M class, only Odeer (by Atze), driven by Henk Hammers, participated throughout the series. In the M dressage class, three Gelder stallions competed. Odin (by Edmundo), ridden by Dirk-Jan van de Water, scored the most points. Ojee-B (by Ibsen B), ridden by Anouk Slobbers, won in Kronenberg, while Olaf Official (by Henkie), ridden by Zoë Kuintjes, also showcased his talents.
