The riding test already revealed this to be a good crop with Gerke Z. (Norber 444 Sport x Rindert 406 Sport) showing himself to be a real hit. This tallion also made an excellent impression in the in-harness tests to that he finished as the undisputed sensation of this Central Examination. Gerke Z. collected 86 points in the riding test and on Monday morning he added 87 points for the driving test and 87.5 for the show-driving test. He has been registered under the name Hette 481
Gerben van de Olde Mette Moate (Doaitsen 420 Sport x Sape 381 Sport) also scored more than 80 points. He finished his riding test with 78 points and went on to add 80.5 points for the driving test and another 83.5 for the show-driving test. After approval Gerben was given the name Gerben 479. ‘In trot we would like to see a bit more scope in the front leg. In the driving tests he demonstrates a lot of ‘go’. Gerben is a modern stallion radiating youth, a horse showing a lot of promise’, according to head of inspection Bauke de Boer. Stallion Fryso (Olgert 445 x Doeke 287) was also approved and continues as Fonger 478, after scoring 79.5 points for driving and 75 points for the show driving test and a total of 82.5 for the riding test. This stallion catches the eye with his excellent walk which he also demonstrated in the driving test. He needs to develop slightly more front in the driving disciplines.
Gerke van de Stierenweg (Norbert 444 Sport x Jelke 367) has been registered as Hessel 480 with a total of 77 points for driving and 76 for the show-driving test. ‘He seems to be a little laidback, but we suspect his huge body is somewhat to blame here because he stands at 1.72 m. Therefore this examination could be a little premature for him and he needs time to develop more strength over the next year or so. But we have great faith in this stallion’, DeBoer comments. Closing the ranks of the five newly=approved stallions for stud service is Haiko van ‘t Oosterzand (Argen 417 x Lute 304 Sport) who will continue his life as Haike 482. He ended up with a score of 70 for the driving test and 71 for his show-driving test. ‘This stallion made a very positive impression under saddle showing a constant willingness to work. he has less aptitude for show-driving work by compensates with an interestingly low kinship percentage.
