Today the exam of the performance test was completed at the Deltamanege in IJsselmuiden. 9 stallions took their exam here and passed the examination. The NWPCS may add seven new NWR stallions to the stallion list.

‘All stallions passed. We can speak of a good middle class, with two outliers up there. There was good sport potential, especially the dressage parts were shown very appealing. The guest riders were positive about the workability and commitment of the ponies. The jury team was also very pleased with the fine cooperation among themselves,’ said performance leader Edwin Langevoort.

Two stallions achieved the highest score during the examination. NWR stallion Botic van den Hout (by Westerhuis Mercury), bred by H.A. van Erp and owned by H.J.C. Ebbers, managed a score of 82 points. He received a 9 for the walk and an 8.5 for the canter. Also section B stallion Rondo's Grandeur (by JS Bastian), from breeder and owner J. Flier, received 82 points from the judges. He received an 8 for all his gaits and showed great jumping ability. The guest riders praised him.
