Three New Stallions

All three stallions that entered the Saturday Central investigation assessment are registered in the studbook register. Where during the final under saddle discipline the number of dropouts were high, three of the four stallions brought to the exam were referred with flying colors. The fourth, Bart ‘ van de Brink ‘ (Heine 354 x Jisse 433) was withdrawn from the exam but may return in the disciplines during the next investigation. This brings the total number of registered stallions in 2011 to six, one more than last year. Striking in this volume is the number of stallions with unrelated blood lines. Three of these six stallions come from daughters of the Naen 264 son, Jakob 302.

Yorick v.d. Giesenbos (Felle 422 x Jakob 302) flowed from the spring investigation, where the investigation was suspended in part, due to physical problems, Previously he played in the spotlight with an excellent ABFP test of more than 90 points. Here he was part of the offspring investigation of his sire, Felle 422. In terms of exterior, Yorick is a real father son, very tall (height 1.68m), long lines with a nice forehand. His mother is a Jacob 302 studbook mare, which is followed by three star preferent mares in succession Jurjen 303, Tsjalling 235P and Hindrik 222. Yorick has a good hind and shows all three basic gaits with much room. In the walk he sometimes struggles with the purity. In particular, his scores for the harness and show driving tests of 80.0 and 83.5 appeal to the imagination. His new studbook name is Wolfert 467.

Alke van ‘t Kempke (Fabe 348 x Jakob 302) proves that low related stallions may indeed have high-quality papers. This son of Fabe 348 comes from three generations of star mares by Jakob 302, Herke 256 (the lesser known full brother of Peke 268) and the Ritske 202 son Fokke 317 respectively. All of these unrelated stallions yields Alke with a low relationship percentage of 16.1%. This has a decisive role in his approval. Alke shows himself holding back in his character which affected his performance image. He shows in all three basic gaits a good, active hind leg but has a slightly high rhythm movement. The guest riders as well as the equestrian team see in him a talented useful horse that just needs time to fully express his conformation. His new studbook name is Alke 468.

Alwin B.L. (Felle 422 x Tsjerk 328P) qualified for the performance test through the second chance viewing, where he was presented and put to the carriage. This event is his best quality highlighted by very good scores for harness and show driving tests of 82.5 and 84.5 points. He shows a strong hind, has a spacious way of moving and has a nice position in the trot. Alwin is a son of Felle 422 out of a star mare by Tsjerk 328 Preferent. The following maternal line shows a preferent studbook mare by the also preferent Oege 267 and a star mare from the stallion Cobus 248. His new studbook name is Alwin 469.
