Formiddagen var med 2. besigtigelse af hingstene. Det er altid spændende at se udviklingen fra den 1. besigtigelse frem til når man ser dem live, og selvfølgelig også om det indtryk man fik fra den første online præsentation holder hele vejen.
Dag 1 bød op flere dejlig hingste under vejs, men mest iøjnefaldende var:
- 436 Enzo Farrari / Jazz en hingst med format og power.
- 402 Desperado / Hemmingway smidig med dejlig udtryk.
- 474 Fellini / Florencio top hingst med hele pakken.
- 463 Expression / Vivaldi top smidig med masser af frihed og god balance.
- 315 Apache / Hitchcock en velovervejet, velgående og udtryksfuld hingst. (præmiehingst)
- 363 Charmeur / Rubin-Royal (præmiehingst) - masser trav men med en noget vigende overlinie, så ikke bestemt ikke set som lørdagens reserve champion.
Se med rideheste- og avlsblikket manglede to af de tre nye Helgstrand Dressage hingste klart i blandt de kårede hingste. Men som KWPN er kendt for, er det altafgørende at der findes præstationer enten i sporten eller avlen på morsiden, og det var desværre ikke tilfældet med nogle af de to hingste.
For den opmærksomme avler synes det nok lidt vel vovet, at lave en avlskombination som Expression / Vivaldi som jo er med samme farfar og morfar, men med til den historie hører at der desværre er sket en fejl ved insemineringen af hoppen, som oprindelig skulle have haft For Romance. Men mon ikke avlerne med sådan "succes fejl" føler sig klar til at lave samme "fejl" igen.
Som endnu en anerkendelse af hingstens kvaliteter blev den under kåringen i Den Bosch også godkendt af det tyske Oldenburger Verband.
In the morning it was with second inspection of the young stallions. It is always exciting to see the development from the first inspection (from video) until now when you see them live.
Day 1 offered more nice stallions along the way, but most interesting were:
- 436 Enzo Farrari / Jazz a stallion with format and power.
- 402 Desperado / Hemmingway supple with lovely expression.
- 474 Fellini / Florencio top stallion with the whole package.
- 463 Expression / Vivaldi top smooth with lots of freedom and good balance.
- 315 Apache / Hitchcock looks intelligent, well moving and expresssive. (Premium stallion)
- 363 Charmeur / Rubin-Royal (premium stallion) - lots trot but with a somewhat declining top line, definitely not seen from H2R as Saturday's reserve champion.
Seen with riding- and breeding eyes two out of the three new Helgstrand Dressage stallions were clearly missing among the licensed stallions. But from KWPN, it is crucial that there are achievements either in sport or breeding in the dam line, and it was unfortunately not the case with the two stallions no 474 and 463.
For the attentive breeder it probably looks a bit too daring, with the breeding combination Expression / Vivaldi which is with the same grandfather and dam sire, but it was actually an error when inseminating with wrong semen, which was initially supposed to be For Romance. But wonder if the breeders with such a "successful failure" feels ready to make the same "mistake" again.
As further recognition of the qualities for the Expression / Vivaldi he was also approved by the German Oldenburg Verband, as they were present in Den Bosch too.
