Last year, one of them, Bart van de Kilsdonk (Onne 376 Sport x Tsjerk 328P Sport), could not quite live up to the expectations yet. He now set the record straight, scoring a convincing 84.5 points in harness. As a four-year old, he apparently handles his somewhat shorter frame better, especially in trot and canter. Bart breathes a lot of breed expression, with his beautiful head and that rich front.
Through his dam, a Ster mare by Tsjerk 328P Sport, and his Ster Preferent granddam by Anton 343 Sport, he originates from the well-known Boszorg family (Stam 50), that boasts a lot of predicates. Stendert 447 also comes from this family.
Bart will now be known as Bartele 472.

Second herkansing stallion Aernold van Marksathe (Wikke 404 Sport x Jakob 302 Sport) has the lowest kinship percentage of the four: 16.8. Following in the footsteps of Wybren 464, Alke 468 and Alwin 469, Aernold is the fourth stallion with the relatively free Jakob 302 Sport in his dam line to be approved within the year, consequently marking the register’s focus on genetic diversity.
Aernold really improved as the test progressed, the judges commented. His upgrading is not limited to his performance, leading to 84.5 and 85 points for his driving and harness test. He also made a positive change where his conformation is concerned. From a big (1.70 metres), somewhat heavy-looking stallion, he transformed into a sharper, modern stallion with more uphill tendency. Inspection spokesman Bauke de Boer: ‘There’s some discussion whether or not the proving should be shortened. Stallions such as Aernold prove it’s better if we don’t.’
Aernold will go by the name of Aarnold 471.

Djarin (Beart 411 Sport x Anton 343 Sport) is an extremely good-looking stallion, with an opulent, correct conformation and a near perfect forehand. The stallion entered the test two weeks later than the others and took the saddle exam two weeks after the other stallions had. He nonetheless entered the harness exam simultaneously. Djarin is more of a riding and driving horse than he is a harness horse. He showed excellent walk and ample trot and canter. If his massive body (1.71 metres) becomes even stronger, he might even get further than his scores already suggest: 83 and 81 points as a riding and driving horse.
Djarin’s new name is Epke 474.

After Maurus 441 in 2007, once again a herkeuring stallion got himself approved. Djoerd van Stal Linde (Jerke 434 Sport x Bonne 341) was selected for the Central Stallion Proving during the herkeuring of the Second and Third Viewing in the 2012 KFPS Stallion Show. Already during the extensive preparation trajectory in which KFPS instructed the trainers, the stallion showed remarkable progress, which he continued in his test. Djoerd shows lots of space and rhythm in all three basic gaits, gaining him 80 plus points in the riding and driving tests. The stallion also has a lot of breed expression. He’s the first approved son of Jerke 434 Sport, who passed last year’s offspring test with flying colours. His dam is a six-time Preferent Bonne 341 daughter that produces excellent offspring.
Djoerd will now be known as Djoerd 473.

Unfortunately, the judges could not add the fifth stallion, Eelco van de Meikade (Beart 411 Sport x Heinse 354P Sport). Bauke de Boer had already predicted that the 74.5 points in the saddle test would make it difficult for the stallion to pass the rest of the assessment. Despite his allure and vivacity in the harness test, the judges felt his hind leg use to be insufficient for him to be approved.
