Stallion holders play an indispensable role in Dutch breeding, and on Friday evening at the KWPN Stallion Show, their work will be put in the spotlight in a special way. Reesink Stallions, Van Uytert, and Van Olst Horses will present spectacular show segments, featuring some of the biggest talents from their stables.

Each stallion holder has their own focus and strengths, providing a unique opportunity to showcase the qualities of their stallion lineup. With these three show segments, they contribute to an evening full of inspiration for dressage horse breeders and pure enjoyment for dressage enthusiasts.
