The four-year-old Gelder stallions demonstrated their driving skills for the second time today, and both performed with conviction, making their approval now final.

The King Karim son, Royal King, and the Alexandro P son, Raffael K, had already been approved based on their performances under saddle. With two presentations in driving, the approval of these Gelder stallions is now final. "On February 12, the stallions showed their driving performance in the Willem Alexander Hall, and today they were assessed on the outdoor grounds. Both Raffael K and Royal King presented themselves very well on both the sand path and the grass surface," said inspector Luuk Smetsers on behalf of the stallion inspection committee. "The committee is very positive about their driving performance, and the stallions will be expected to return on hand during the final presentation of the current performance test. At that time, the results of the driving performance will also be announced. However, their final approval is already a fact as of today."
