Bonuses and Pay Raises at the National Inspection Day

On June 25, 2022, the NWPCS inspection season kicks off with the National Inspection Day in Putten. This will be followed by five regional inspections. What exactly is the difference between the National Inspection Day and the regional inspections?

In short, ponies three years old and older can participate in the National Inspection Day immediately awarded the "star," "select," or "crown" designation qualify.

The questionnaire states the following:

PREMIUM INSPECTION ON-SITE INSPECTION DAY

During the Inspection Day, the pony’s conformation and movement are evaluated, and it is awarded a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd premium. These premiums indicate the pony’s quality. The better ponies aged 3 years and older (that are registered in the studbook) may be eligible for the “ster,” “keur,” and “kroon” designations during the inspection and do not need to be referred to the Central Inspection for this purpose. On Inspection Day, ponies are not ranked, and there are no
championships.

PREMIUM INSPECTION BASED ON REGIONAL INSPECTION
At a Regional Inspection, conformation and movement are considered and ponies are placed in order of quality. At the Regional Inspection, 1st, 2nd and 3rd premiums are awarded. These premiums are an indication of quality. The better ponies can be nominated for the Central Inspection and 3-year old and older ponies can obtain the predicate ster, keur or crown.
