The Central Stallion Inspection (CHK), will take place on February 7 and 8, 2025 in Ermelo. During the inspection, a supervisor is active to oversee both animal welfare and the toilet of the ponies. 

Toilet

Thus, the palpable must still be present and the hairs on the inside of the auricle may not be removed. In addition, body shaving of ponies from the rassections (sections A, B, C and D) is not allowed.

Braiding of mane and/or tail of sections A, B, C and D is not allowed. However, a small braid behind the ears is allowed.
Braiding is allowed in the NWR and WPBR.

When applying hair extensions, this must be reported to the secretariat prior to judging.

Fittings

Normal herding is allowed on stallions from all sections.

Supervisors

Supervisors ensure that all rules are followed during the event. Respecting these rules not only contributes to the tradition of stallion judging, but also to the welfare of the animals.
