RABOBANK PARTNERS WITH KWPN-NA
The Rabobank and KWPN-NA
Partner to Support Breeders in
North America.
from Equestrian Sports
Promotions
The KWPN of North America is
proud to announce that Rabobank,
North America has become a major
strategic partner in the support of
North American sport horse breeders.
The sponsorship includes two new
awards programs – the Star Breeders
Awards and the Keuring Championship Awards – as well as support for
important education programs. The
partnership was a natural fit for the
U.S. retail banking division of the
Rabobank Group, the premier lender
to the global food and agricultural
industry with century-old roots in the
Netherlands. Rabobank is a financial
services leader providing commercial,
retail and agricultural finance solutions in more than 40 countries around
the world.
“I’m excited that two companies
that have each been in existence for
over 100 years will be partnering
together,” says Tony DeGroot, a member of the Rabo Agricultural Advisory
Board and owner of DG Bar Ranch,
“This will be a big plus for both institutions.”
The Rabobank sponsored Breeder’s Achievement Awards will recognize top North American breeders of
KWPN horses as their horses earn
points at keuringen and in sport (for
full explanation see page 10). The
Rabobank sponsored Keuring Championship Awards offers prize money to
the Champion and Reserve Champion
foal, and the Champion and Reserve
Champion 3–7 year old horse, in each
of the KWPN’s breeding directions:
Dressage, Jumper, Hunter, Harness
and Gelders (for full explanation see
page 29).
Rabobank, North America is a California community bank and a leading
provider of agricultural financing and
banking products to farmers, ranchers,
input suppliers and agricultural manufacturers. With 92 retail branches and
15 commercial banking centers, the
bank serves the needs of communities
from Sacramento to the Imperial Valley through local decision making and
active community involvement by its
employees.

2010 ANNUAL MEETING
they move up the levels.” Hendrix also
emphasized the importance of how the
horse uses its hind end over the jump.
However, a horse’s potential is not
based solely on natural talent. According to Hendrix, how that scope, bravery and carefulness are channeled by
the trainer and rider is just as critical for
the horse to reach his full potential.
KWPN-NA Annual Meeting
Offers Insights into International Sport Horses
from Equestrian Sports
Promotions
The KWPN-NA Annual Meeting,
held in Wellington, FL, once again provided a weekend full of fun along with
many educational opportunities from
some of the industry’s finest experts.
There were presentations on a variety
of subjects, as well as many exciting
field trips, in which participants were
able to observe and learn from worldclass horse people and their talented
horses. Visitors received insights into
the breeding, training and identification of top international sport horses
for both jumping and dressage.

Willy Arts explains, “Paul Hendrix
and Bart Henstra are among the foremost sport horse experts in the world.
They were very candid about how they
select horses and what traits breeders,
trainers and riders should be looking
for. I don’t think this information has
ever been available to a group before.
It was really a rare opportunity.”

lands. Paul has a special talent for identifying world-class horses. Among the
international horses he has produced:
Liberty (ridden by Laura Kraut), My
Girl (ridden by Ian Millar) and Bonita
(ridden by Jessica Kurten). Hendrix
shared his insights on how he has built
his business. He touched on the importance of caring for the customer, building a network of clients and the excitement of searching for the right horse
for the right rider.
Meeting attendees were in for a big
treat when they attended the Winter
Equestrian Festival to watch the Young
Jumper classes, with Hendrix providing in-depth commentary on the country’s best up-and-coming jumpers. So
what traits does the equine guru look
for in identifying stars for the future?
“I look at the jump in the canter,” he
explained. “Is it active and moving?
This will be even more important as
Michael Barisone, photo Shakota Powell
Hendrix is also keenly aware of the
importance of bloodlines in reliably
producing top horses. He encouraged
breeders to thoroughly research their
breeding matches. “Heritability is key
when looking at a stallion to breed to a
mare. There is a genetic correlation
between what traits stallions pass on
and sport performance. The KWPN
has very good predictors for sport
based on genetics,” he says.

around the world.

A trip to Olympic Reserve rider
Michael Barisone’s farm provided
another fun and educational field trip
while showcasing several KWPN dressage horses in action. Among the quality horses were Urbanus, by Hemingway, and Olympus, by Havel. Olympus and Barisone have had international Grand Prix success, including a win
at the 2009 Palm Beach Dressage
Derby CDI-W. Breeding and heritability are evident, as Olympus has two
full siblings competing in international
Grand Prix dressage as as well.
Elisabeth Austin and her homebred
Grand Prix stallion Olivier crown (s.
Idocus) demonstrated a dressage lesson with Barisone. Olivier was bred by
Austin’s mom, Madeleine Austin,
who’s also Elisabeth’s trainer and mentor. The 14-year-old stallion completed
his 100-day stallion testing in 2000 and
has successfully combined breeding

and competitive careers. Olivier comes
from a strong damline. His dam is the
Prestatie mare Rowillie, by Porter. “All
of our experts reiterated the importance
of using good mares to produce quality offspring. Mares make the difference in your breeding program,” Arts
summarized.
While mares are an integral part of
success, analyzing the stallions to produce the right match is key. Bart Henstra, Arie Hamoen and Johan Knaap,
three KWPN luminaries, discussed linear scoring as they showed videos of
the stallions at the recent stallion show
in the Netherlands. Participants learned
in depth how to read the Stallion Statistics, including Breeding Values, as
well as their meaning. The booklet lists
the predictors for each stallion, such as
size of offspring and characteristics.
Using the Breeding Values, breeders can answer questions about stallions: Does he improve jumping ability? The stance of the forelegs? Elasticity? The shape of the croup? The panel
used the internationally acclaimed
jumper Heartbreaker (Nimmerdor x
Bacarole) to show overwhelming evidence that his predictors produced outstanding offspring.
Irene Wolfs, the promotion manager of the KWPN, gave a very informative talk about what the KWPN is
The Annual Meeting also included
visits to watch the Iron Spring Farm
KWPN stallions Florianus and UB40.
Florianus was recently accepted into
the KWPN after a North American
evaluation. “We were able to learn
more about the new stallion approval
process,” Arts said. “This process will
allow the KWPN to include older stallions with international show records.”
Hamoen, chairman of the KWPN Stallion Committee for dressage, jumping
and gelders types, explained the selection criteria that are followed in the
Netherlands. “We are very excited that
Mr. Hamoen is willing to evaluate
horses in North America for their final
approval. This gives these stallions
[here in North America] the same status in Holland,” Arts continued.
Visitors to the meeting came from
all over. “Our goal is always to provide
useful information that breeders and
trainers can use to produce top-class
horses. We were pleased to offer access
to some of the world’s best horsemen
and information you can’t get anywhere else,” Arts concluded.
The 2011 Annual Meeting will be
held at DG Bar Ranch in California
and will be a precursor to the 2012
meeting, which will be held in Holland
during the KWPN stallion show.

MEMBER OF THE YEAR
Sponsor: Loucky HagensGroosman
Kathy Hickerson
Majestic Gaits in New Hampshire
With the help of her family, Kathy
Hickerson has been breeding KWPN
horses since 1985. She stands three
stallions, and distributes the semen of
over 30 more that is imported from
VDL Stud. She supports her breeders
through breeding advice, stallion
selection, buying trips, advertising on
her website and an e-mail newsletter
that keeps everyone up-to-date on
what is happening with stallions here
and around the world along with foal
announcements and sport results from
the offspring of her breeders.
For several years Kathy organized
a booth at the four-day Equine Affaire,
at which she handed out KWPN promotional materials, answered questions and generally promoted the
KWPN-NA and the KWPN horse. At
the Equine Affaire she also organized
demonstrations of the KWPN horse,
inviting other New England members
to showcase their horses.
For a number of years Kathy cohosted trips to the KWPN stallion
show. The trips featured visits to the
Kathy Hickerson, photo Chris Heale
KWPN office (then in Huis ter Heide),
the KNHS Federation Center in Ermelo, well-known farms and breeding
stations, the equestrian school in
Deurne, the research center in
Lelystad and the Divoza tack shop.
Kathy has hosted several of the
New England keuringen as well as
taken her horses to other keuring sites.
She has helped other, less experienced,
keuring hosts through advice on how,
what and what not to do. She is a
breeder of many top young horses in
the USA and Holland. Whenever possible, Kathy supports KWPN-NA
fundraising activities such as the Stallion Service Auction and the Silent
Auction at the Annual Meeting.
Kathy has helped organize the New
England Breeders’ Group that gives
out awards to KWPN horses at the
NEDA breedshow in the name of the
KWPN-NA. She has brought in top
KWPN clinicians to help promote and
further the breed, such as Janko from
VDL Stud for sport horse handling and
Frenk Jespers for young horse clinics.
Kathy is very willing to share her
knowledge of the KWPN horse, and is
always willing to give advice on
breeding and registry questions, not
only to those breeding to her stallions,
but to anyone that asks or needs help.
Her enthusiasm for the KWPN horse
and the organization knows no
bounds. She truly is a tireless advocate
for and ambassador of KWPN-NA
bred horses.

BREEDER’S ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS
Sponsored by Rabobank
• If the horse successfully passes the
Levels
Rabobank is generously sponsoring the new KWPN-NA Breeder’s
Achievement Award. This award recognizes our member breeders who
have accomplished significant results
throughout the years with their breeding program.
There are three levels of achievement within the program:
This award benefits KWPN-NA
members by giving:
The Point System:
• An award to the qualifying breeder
at their local/regional keuring,
allowing local/regional promotion
of their breeding program (when
possible);
• An award to the qualifying breeder
at our KWPN-NAAnnual Meeting;
• Special recognition of the breeder
on the KWPN-NA website to
specifically promote the success of
the qualifying breeder.
The achievement of this award
allows the breeder to use the following
breeder designation for advertising or
promotion purposes:
• KWPN-NA Silver Level Breeder
• KWPN-NA Gold Level Breeder
• KWPN-NA Platinum Level Breeder
The Breeder’s Achievement Award
does not take the place of the “KWPNNA Breeder of the Year” special
award. The Breeder of the Year special
award is based on a single breeder’s
accomplishment and that recipient is
nominated and selected by the
KWPN-NA membership.
The Breeder’s Achievement Award,
on the other hand, is not voted on by
KWPN-NA members, rather the
breeder qualifies for the award based
on a points system. Ultimately, the
intention of this program is to have as
many of our members as possible be
able achieve these awards.

How It Works
Only the breeder of record of a
horse presented can earn points for
that horse.
In the Young Horse category, a
horse may show at a keuring as a foal,
yearling and/or two-yr-old, but will
earn points only one time within this
category.
The breeder of the horse will
receive points for each accomplishment that their horse has achieved. For
example:
• If a horse receives a First Premium
as a young horse, the breeder will
earn one (1) point.*
• Three years later, that same horse –
Page 10 • Newsletter of the KWPN-NA
now a mature horse – receives its
Ster predicate, and thereby earns
two (2) more points for its breeder.

Therefore, this one horse
can earn seven (7) points for
its breeder if a mare and five
(5) points for its breeder if a
gelding: 1 point for receiving
a First Premium as a foal, 2
points for the Ster designation,
2 points for a passing IBOP
(and 2 points for the Keur designation).
Keeping Track of Points
Breeders must apply for
award status. Once a breeder
has reached the qualifying
points for the first level (Silver), the breeder must send all applicable documentation to the KWPN-NA
office. The office will then verify the
documentation. When the breeder has
earned enough points to upgrade to a
higher level (Gold or Platinum), the
breeder must again send the documentation to the KWPN-NA office. In
other words, it is up to breeders to
nominate themselves when they think
they have earned enough points for the
award or to move to a higher level of
the award program.
Breeders will receive their awards
the following year (the year after they
achieve the results).
* A horse can only earn
one (1) point as a young
horse, even if earning multiple First Premiums .
TREASURER’S REPORT
First of all, my thanks and appreciation to Susan Taylor for willingly taking on the role of Treasurer commencing January 2010. I have enjoyed the
role for the past six years, and it is
wonderful that we have a diverse
Board with skills that allow for redistribution of the officer roles.
A year ago this time, we were trying to get a handle on the world-wide
financial meltdown and pull up our
collective socks to take stock of our
individual situations. Given that this
has been one of the most difficult
years in most everyone’s memory, the
KWPN-NA did not fare as badly as
one could have expected. Yes, revenues were down by 6%, but expenses decreased by 1%. We finished the
year on December 31, 2009, with a
loss of $12,000.
The largest decreases in revenue
were seen in registration fees (3%),
keuring entries (13%) and membership dues (8%). Revenue earned from
attendance at last year’s Annual Meeting was up over the prior year by
almost 50% as were the Silent Auction
proceeds – testimony to the quality of
the program offered and the widespread attention it received. Sponsorship for this event is always welcome
and something to keep in mind for
future consideration – it is a great way
to showcase your farm and breeding
program.
While the economy has a lot to do
with these numbers, so does the cyclical nature of our organization. Memberships might not be renewed year
after year if an individual is not registering foals or attending a keuring – or
the renewal is delayed – with our cash
basis reporting basis it is captured in
the previous or future year, so one
needs to look at the trends to further
analyze the numbers. Expanding our
reach through awards and communication is one way in which we are
striving to retain and attract participants.
Our basic operating expenses have
remained stable over the past year.
Extra expenses, such as a trade show
booth at the World Cup in Las Vegas
to promote the registry, have created a
few variances. We do have a few cost
cutting changes for 2010, one of them
being a reduction of the printed
newsletter to two issues per year. As a
replacement for this communication
tool, you have likely noticed, we have
reintroduced the E-News, which you
will see more of on a regular basis.
This alone will save the organization
approximately $8,000 in printing and
postage costs.
The Board and Members’ Committee are developing a number of very
exciting ideas and programs (like the
KWPN-NA Breeder’s Achievement
and Keuring Championship Awards)
mentioned elsewhere in this Newsletter. Our ability as an organization to
meet the needs of our members is fundamental to our success.
In closing, thank you for your
enthusiasm for this registry and the
KWPN horse.
Kind regards,
Allison Hagen

NORTH AMERICAN STALLION NEWS
FLORIANUS APPROVED
Grand Prix dressage stallion
Florianus was approved by the
KWPN, after the first Five-Day
Test on North American soil.

Florianus is a son of Florestan I out
of Die Dame, a daughter of the
Hanoverian stallion Damenstolz. She
is a full sister of the Hanoverian stallion Dottore. Florianus comes from the
same mother as the Westphalen
approved Funkenstolz (s. Funkenspiel).
The dam line is further supported by a
daughter of Rigoletto, after which the
mare lines continue with daughters of
the Hanoverian stallions and Wohlan
and Seneka II. The bay stallion was
born in 1998, has a height of 1.68m,
and is owned by Iron Spring Farm.
Because Florianus had already
competed at Grand Prix dressage with
Belinda Nairn Wertman, a Five-Day
Test to evaluate character and stall
behavior was sufficient. Consequently,
at the time of the Annual Meeting the
stallion was assigned to the barn of
John and Beezie Madden in Wellington (FL) for those five days. Wim
Ernes and Arie Hamoen representing
the KWPN Stallion Committee and
Bart Henstra as inspector of the
KWPN-NA visited the stallion several
times during this period. After five
days it was concluded that the stallion
was quiet, easy-going and that no stall
vices were observed. The announcement about the approval of Florianus
was made at the Annual Meeting.
Wim Ernes, incidentally, was in
Wellington as an O judge for the FEI.
Florianus is an attractive, welldeveloped stallion with a more than
sufficient dressage model. The neck
has good length and direction with sufficient muscling and comes from deep
in the chest. The wither is well developed, the back is of a good length but
slightly hollow. The croup is short.
The front leg is of sufficient length
with correct position. The hindleg is
straight. The feet are well-developed
but narrow.
The stallion was also presented
under saddle and showed very good
willingness to work. The walk is correct with sufficient scope. The trot is
supple but could be carried a little
more and could show a little more
power. He collects easily to piaffe and
passage. In the canter Florianus shows
Florianus, photo Terri Miller
good posture, scope and flexibility. He
also worked well in this gait.
Breeding advice: Florianus can
improve the front and add rideability
and suppleness. The stallion should be
used with long-lined mares.
Studfee: $1,700, including booking
fee and KWPN-NA surcharge.
EVA: Semen negative, vaccinated.
Semen quality: Good; frozen semen
only, due to competition schedule.

This was the first time a KWPN Performance Test took place in North America
under the supervision of its daughter
organization, the KWPN-NA.
Previously, to be fully KWPN approved
stallions had to go to the Holland, as Idocus did for example. Because of the long
distance, an agreement was made
between the KWPN and the KWPN-NA
that stallions could also be tested in
North America.
Obviously, the conditions and criteria for
approval will be exactly the same as in
the Netherlands. This applies to pedigree, conformation, performance (talent), health and character. The Tests falls
under the jurisdiction of the KWPN
Stallion Committee, just as in Holland.

Because of this, stallions approved in
North America will have the same status
as stallions approved in Holland.

The KWPN stallion selection committees regularly evaluate internationally renowned stallions which qualify
for individual recognition.
To receive KWPN recognition and
become Erkend, a stallion must clearly demonstrate excellence at the high-
est level of international sport, either
through his own performance or that
of his offspring, or a combination of
both. Stallion Committee recommendations are brought before the KWPN
Board of Directors who accept or
reject the recommendations.
The stallion selection committee
for Gelders horses feels the U.S. born
and bred stallion Olivier will be beneficial to Gelders horse breeding
because of his pedigree and blood distribution. In their recommendation to
the Board of Directors, the committee
expressed that the stallion’s show
record and lineage were sufficiently
compelling.
Olivier (bred by Madeleine
Dammers Austin, Williston VT) was
born in 1996. The bay stallion measures 1.69m or 16.3h. He is by Idocus
(Equador x Zonneglans) and the keur
preferent prestatie mare Rowillie by
Porter. Rowillie’s dam Kowillie keur
preferent is by Graaf Oregon. Farther
back in Olivier’s pedigree are daughters by Graaf van Wittenstein and
Ewald.
Olivier is widely known for his
good temperament, and he meets the
KWPN radiograph, respiratory and
semen requirements.
Studfee: $2,000, includes booking
fee, but not KWPN-NA surcharge .
EVA: semen negative, vaccinated.
Semen quality: Sufficient; fresh or
frozen semen available.

2008: Awarded the Crown predicate by the KWPN-NA for performance at international Grand Prix.
Olivier currently competes internationally at Grand Prix.
Please check the registration chart
for registration possibilities for
Olivier’s foals. In general, when
bred to Riding type mares, mare
owners may choose either the
Gelders or one of the Riding type
breeding directions.
If desired, the breeding direction
may be changed at the studbook
inspection.
One exception to the Gelders rule:
normally a Gelders Erkend stallion
bred to a Thoroughbred mare would
result in a Register B foal. However,
because he is also BWP approved,
Olivier’s foals out of Thoroughbred
mares will receive Register A
papers in one of the Riding type
breeding directions.

Iron Spring Farm’s important
KWPN stallion Rampal passed away
on November 11, 2009, due to the
infirmities of old age. The 26-year-old
stallion was known not only for his
incredible competition record, which
included being short listed for the
United States Equestrian Team, but
also for his contributions to the sport
horse world as a sire.
Rampal’s offspring have been
competitive through the international
levels of both show jumping and dressage. Son Ovation-ISF won at such
shows as CSIO Rome with World Cup
winner Marcus Fuchs in the saddle.
“Rampal was an incredible partner,” remembers rider and owner
Mary Alice Malone. “He was a gifted
athlete and we were able to share some
memorable experiences together.” The
pair had 14 Grand Prix wins, including
the NEDA CDI-W, USET Festival of
Champions, AHSA Region 1 Championships, CBLM Championships and
Royal Dressage CDI.
Rampal was born in 1983 and
imported to the United States as a 4year-old by Five Star Farm. In 1987
he was presented and licensed at a
KWPN keuring. His IBOP score of 93
is still among the highest scores
recorded: 9 on walk; 8 on trot; 8.5 canter; 9 rideability and 9 on character
and temperament. Rampal arrived at
Iron Spring Farm in 1991 and began
his competition career with Mary
Alice. He was awarded the prestigious
Crown predicate for dressage performance in 1999.
Rampal’s athletic ability can be
attributed to his impressive international bloodlines. He is a son of the
legendary Ramiro Z, who has produced more than 50 world-ranked
jumper and dressage horses. Rampal’s
mother, Terika pref prest, also produced the international Grand Prix
mare Miss Holland, the preferent mare
Cantira and the Prix St. Georges horses Elios and Flair.
Rampal has produced 40 First Premiums, 25 star sons and daughters and
three Keur mares. Offspring highlights:

Malone continues, “I’m very proud
of the horses that Rampal produced.
They have inherited his athletic ability, his heart and his great temperament. He’s the type of horse that
breeders want to have in their breeding program. I’m very grateful to have
had the opportunity to ride, show and
know such an amazing horse.”

2009 WILLY ARTS GRANTS
BRIANNA DUTTON
I am very honored to be a recipient
of the 2009 Willy Arts Young Rider
Grant. It was a privilege to have gotten such tremendous support from the
organization and its supporters. The
money granted to me was transformed
into yet another memorable year with
my horse and for that I am extremely
thankful.
At the beginning of 2009, I set my
sights on trying out for the NAJYRC
Young Rider team a second time, after
having a great time at the championships the year before. As the beginning of my qualifying season drew
near, I learned that I was to receive this
award. I was ecstatic! With the extra
money, my family’s funds for the
show season were freed up and I was
able to sneak in a few extra clinics. I
took the opportunity to work with
Dennis Callin, Debbie McDonald and
George Williams in preparation for my
show season. It was such a treat!
Being able to work with the variety of
them gave me a very well-rounded
foundation. Each clinician gave me
great and unique insight about what I
needed to work on to improve my riding. Between the three of them there
were so many different exercises and
ideas were given to me: how to ride
this figure, how to ride that one, how
to perfect this movement, how to
improve that one. I was able to soak up
and blend all the lessons I had learned
and find the right balance for Tibet and
myself. It was a really neat experience
to be able to do that.
made the 2009 team! Very exciting!
With the competition being held at the
Kentucky Horse Park, though, travel
was going to be a big expense. The
remainder of the grant money went
towards shipping Tibet to Kentucky
for the competition. I was very glad
we had the financial help to allow air
transport because it made for a quick,
easy trip for Tibet, which made him
exceedingly more comfortable upon
arriving. As the week in Kentucky
unfolded, all the teammates arrived
and got to know each other. We all
decorated our golf carts together and
cheered each other on in the show
ring. At the end of the competition, the
Region 7 Young Riders were flying
home with a Team Gold medal for the
third year in a row! It was so wonderful to be a part of that achievement!
The Willy Arts Grant not only
made my 2009 NAJYRC journey
enjoyable, but educational as well. I
gained the experience of working with
fantastic clinicians, which improved
my riding and helped me represent
Region 7 as well as I could.
Our NAJYRC qualifiers came and
went and there was a huge improvement over the year before. In June, I
was given more good news: We had

My 2009 competition year would
not have been the same without the
grant. I want to say a huge thank you
to Little Creek Farm, KWPN-NA, and
Willy Arts for the founding and continuing support of the grant; the opportunities it presents are phenomenal. I
am very glad to have been able to
experience its benefits and I hope the
support continues to allow future
Young Riders the chance to experience
it firsthand. Thank you again for the
opportunity and for a wonderful 2009.
AMANDA HARLAN
I started riding (vaulting) when I
was six years old. I vaulted with a few
girls who were taking dressage lessons
and they always talked about riding
dressage and one day making the
Young Rider team. I didn’t know
exactly what that meant, but from then
on I wanted to “make the team”. I had
no idea that it meant to be on a team
with four other extraordinary, talented,
dedicated, aspiring young people all
going for one goal, representing
Region 7 and the United States of
America.
My Young Rider experience started five years ago in 2005, when I first
tried out for the team with my Friesian
Onyx. From silent auctions to raise
money to team bonding activities,
these experiences at horse shows were
so much more than I could have imagined. Learning the Prix St. Georges
test and learning what it really meant
to try out for an equestrian team, were
all so different from trying out for any
type of team I had tried out for previously, such as volleyball, tennis and
the many other sports I played growing up. I could hardly believe I was in
the same pond as those older girls.
I was about to turn 16 when Onyx
and I tried out, and I could not have
been more thankful, appreciative, or
excited to even think about being on
the NAJYRC team. I did not make the
team that year, but that did not faze
me, it was such a great learning experience in a year full of new possibilities, that it motivated and prepared me
for trying out the next year!
Emily Tears, and junior Mackenzie
Pooley, and we came back with team
gold! Going home with a gold medal
around my neck, I knew that my entire
riding career had paid off. All of the
tears and hardships, the days that I
wanted to quit, the thick times and the
thin times, the joys and wins as well as
the losses and lessons learned… It really goes to show that dedication, determination, attitude, and sportsmanship
will all pay off with perseverance and
love for the sport.
In 2006 I again tried out for the
team on my (at the time) new Dutch
Warmblood Liberte, who was previously ridden by Jan Ebeling and
owned by Ann Romney. I had just
bought him and was so excited about
hopefully achieving my goal of making the team. And, after a long, tough
spring, full of CDI’s and tough southern California competition and shows,
we made it! There were five of us:
myself and my teammates Jaclyn
Meinen, Jennifer Dainer and Jeni
Watkins, as well as junior rider Susan
Walker.
In 2007 I graduated high school,
started college in Los Angeles at USC
and bought a young mare in Germany.
I decided to take the year a bit slower
and try out for the open Intermediaire I
Championships instead of the
NA/YRC team. That was a really great
experience, and very humbling as well.
Being an open rider, in an arena with
the most well known and best riders in
the country, really inspired me.
Although I did not make the top 12 in
the U.S., I realized that I would never
give up riding while in college. I loved
it too much!
That year the NAJYRC was held at
the Virginia Horse Park in Lexington,
Virginia. It was 105 degrees and so
humid that you were always drenched.
That first year was such an eye opener
and such an amazing experience. I
came out with an individual silver
medal in the Freestyle, and fourth
place in the Team Competition. I could
not have been happier! I was very
lucky to have had the support, love,
faith and endless encouragement of my
family, teammates, trainer, and friends.
In 2007, Liberte and I were fortunate enough to go back to Virginia for
the second time. That year I went with
Jaclyn Meinen, Crystalyn Hoffman,
Amanda and Liberte,

So in 2009 I again tried out for the
NA/YRC team! From January to June,
horse shows were my life, and it was so
much fun. Knowing how the system
worked, and how to plan the work leading up to the big trip, made competing
much more fun! Also, knowing so
many more people in the network made
travel with my horse much more comfortable and enjoyable. From Burbank,
Del Mar and Flintridge, I knew this
year would be the best yet!
I had been really focused on my
riding and my relationship with my
horse. Liberte had never been stronger,
and we made the team yet once again!
With amazing Young Rider teammates
(Brian Hafner with Lombardo, Brianna Dutton with Tibet, and Christine
Stephenson with Markant) I knew that
this year would be special! We
planned and organized our trip with
the superb and most wonderful help
from Leslie Pooley. Our trip could not
have been planned any better. Leslie
approached trainer, rider and young
rider team alumni David Wightman to
be our Chef, and he came with us on
our journey to Kentucky!
We arrived at the Kentucky Horse
Park, and it was surreal to think we
were in the place where the World
Equestrian Games were going to take
place. Just unbelievable! With green
grass, white picket fences and stables
everywhere you went, it was every
horse-person’s dream! As the families
came together and got to know one
another, we realized we had a team full
of exceptional parents, trainers and
teammates. The Juniors and Young
Riders were all together, all pitching in
and supporting one another. Everyone
gave 100% at all times and really
showed their appreciation for being
part of the team. It was a great feeling!

2009 WILLY ARTS GRANTS
Team competition day came. We
were all prepared, psyched, and ready
to go. We had our game faces on, only
to find out that it was POURING
RAIN and windy! But we were ready
to take it on! We had great rides in the
rain and all of us were really happy
and soaking wet! We won the gold
medal and we were SO EXCITED!
We could barely believe it! My teammate Brian Hafner received the highest score of the day and was named
“The Man” for the rest of the trip!
The individual competition was
tough. There were so many exceptional riders and horses. It was fabulous
competition and it was very moving.
Our team did great, all of us ended up
in the top 15! Brian came away with
an individual bronze and silver. The
three of us girls were proud of our
rides. We knew we could have done a
few things differently, but it never took
away our pride at our rides and experience! All of our horses were so determined, focused, and loving – we could
not have had a better group of talented horses.
Leaving Kentucky was bittersweet.
We had to leave what we had built during the past week-and-a-half: from
friendships to knowing where the closest Walmart was. We left with life long
memories, friendships and lessons.
With a team like ours, this had truly
been a once-in-a-life time opportunity.
My Young Rider experience this year
was like no other that I had had in the
past. Each year that I have gone to the
NAJYRC has been a completely different experience and each year has
been touching and irreplaceable. But
this year was a year of unforgettable
friendships.
I could not have done it without the
support, the day-in and day-out pushing me to my limits, and belief that my
trainer Jan Ebeling and his wife Amy
bestowed upon me. They were there
no matter what came up; they have
become my second parents and lifelong family friends. I cannot say
enough about my parents, Bill and
Deborah Harlan, and my brother Will
with their unconditional love and their
endless kindness and support. They
have been my idols, my inspiration
and my backbone and have understood my dedication to the sport I love.
My best friends and my boyfriend
stood by my side even if I missed
every social event and party. They all
believed in me and never gave up on
me.
Willy Arts and Natalie Bryant of
KWPN have been so generous and
kind in helping me achieve my Young
Rider goal. They are amazing and supportive; I will always be a Dutch
Warmblood supporter!
LINDSAY SEIDELWASSENAAR
First and most importantly, Oslo
and I would like to thank Little Creek
Farm and Willy Arts for supporting us
on our journey to the North American
Junior and, Young Rider Championships this summer. The grant helped
decrease the financial burden of hauling Oslo and me to Lexington, Kentucky, for the 2009 NAJYRC, along
with all the extra expenses of training
during the season. In addition to the
NAJYRC, we competed in the 2009
Canadian Youth Nationals, Provincials
and Western Regionals. We were also
able to attend various clinics with
international clinicians such as Steffen
Peters, Lisa Wilcox and Albrecht Heidemann. The combination of riding in
the presence of these high-calibre athletes, and attending the 2009 NAJYRC,
provided Oslo and I with an utterly
amazing season with many highlights.
Paula Langdan, Leslie Pooley,
Leslie’s daughter and my great friend
Mackenzie Pooley, David Wightman,
the supporters from USEF, USDF,
CDS, and everyone from the Kentucky Horse Park are the magical people who made it all happen! And my
life-long teammates Christine, Brianna, and Brian will be forever in my
heart. My love of and journey in the
sport of Dressage has only just begun!

This season was particularly special in light of the challenges Oslo
faced the previous year. Not once, but
twice over six months, Oslo faced lifethreatening injury or disease. The first
challenge was a puncture of the navicular bursa, which required a very
unusual and risky surgery. After six
months of rehab, just as Oslo was
allowed to return to work, he succumbed to a rare and severe fungal
infection of the sinus cavity, which
required additional surgery and recovery. Only through the talent and dedication of our very special vet, Mike
Scott, was Oslo able to return to full
work almost a year after the initial
incident. Every day since has been a
special gift that I am very appreciative
of. Once Oslo had fully recovered and
we were able to jump back into our
full training regime, the winter of 2008
was upon us. Luckily Oslo had no
issues coming back and we were able
to have a dedicated and productive
winter of training, which contributed
to our successful season this year.
The 7,500 km round trip to Lexington, Kentucky, to represent Canada at
the North American Junior and Young
Rider Championships was an eventful
and memorable one. Unfortunately,
since Oslo and I were the only Young
Rider team to qualify from western
Canada, we were sent to represent
Canada as individuals. This turned out
to be just an initial disappointment as
once we arrived in Kentucky, I realized that just being able to attend the
championships is a marvelous opportunity. I felt very privileged to be competing among the best Young Rider
and horse combinations in North
America. Along with the many things
we learned, and new friends we made,
Oslo and I finished 14th in the Individual Test, and ninth in the Freestyle! A
Top Ten finish only added to the
remarkable journey.
We were fortunate enough to not
have to make another long road trip to
attend the 2009 Canadian Youth
Nationals this year. Instead, we made
the short one-and-a half hour journey
to Edmonton, Alberta where the championships were held. Oslo and I had a
great show and finished the weekend
as the Canadian Young Rider Champions. We were then also successful in
competing in the Provincial and Western Regional championships in Red
Deer, Alberta, in September, ending
our competition season. The unfortunate part of our Canadian weather is
the coming of winter – but it also
means Oslo and I get to settle back
down at home on the farm and focus
on training.
The Willy Arts Grant also permitted Oslo and I to learn from a greater
and more varied number of clinicians
than we normally are exposed to. Living in a small Alberta town, sometimes
dressage clinics are limited, and finding experienced trainers is difficult. I
am fortunate to have my mother as my
full-time coach, but this grant allowed
us to broaden our experience by
attending a number of additional clinics. Riding with international clinicians is always a great learning experience and I feel that my riding has
improved greatly because of them.
This season I got the opportunity to
ride with amazing trainers such as Lisa
Wilcox and Steffen Peters, in addition
to my regular Young Rider clinician,
Albrecht Heidemann. Each clinician
Lindsay and Oslo at NAJYRC,
photo John Wassenaar
has aided me in becoming a stronger
and more skillful rider. All the clinicians differed in some form or another, but the great thing about dressage
is that we are all aiming for the same
ultimate goal. Therefore I have found
that you can take away at least one
thing from each clinician to help you
continue on the path to your final goal.
For me, that final goal includes a number of steps. First, I hope that Oslo and
I are able to attend the 2010 NAJYRC
and from there, my ultimate goals
include more international competitions, such as the Pan American
Games. And to dream really big, to be
able to represent Canada at the
Olympic Games (on a Dutch Warmblood of course!) would truly be the
experience of a lifetime!
I could not even begin to fathom
such dreams, or have been able to take
part in the numerous clinics and shows
this season without the exceptional
generosity of Little Creek Farm and
Willy Arts. Young Riders, such as I,
would not be able to continue to learn
and excel without the support and
kindness received from people and
sponsors such as these. THANK
YOU!

2010 WILLY ARTS GRANTS
The following three Junior and
Young Riders have been
awarded Willy Arts Grants for
the 2010 show season.
I love how he can teach you more lessons in one day in so many different
aspects than many horses can in a
month.”
Lauren Griffin and Fascination
We asked Lauren “If you could
change one thing about your horse,
what would it be?” Her response was
that she would like for him to be five
years younger so that she could lease
him for a longer period of time.
Lauren Griffin is a sophomore at
IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue
University Indianapolis). Lauren leases and rides a horse named Funest (aka
Fascination) and trains with Jennifer
Conour. Funest is by Voltaire out of
Wavane by Lorenz, owned by William
Conour and bred by F.H. van de
Broek. Lauren volunteers with her
local GMO Indiana Dressage Society
by helping to create clinics for JR/YR
in her area. “I am also on the Youth
Executive Board for Region 2 and
have participated with NARHA by
teaching children and adults through
therapeutic riding.” Lauren states.
Lauren was nine years old when
she got involved with horses and has
never stopped to take a “teen” break.
She has learned that one of the most
important aspects of riding is patience.
“Patience, Patience, and Patience!”
she said. She feels the greatest thing
about riding a 23-year-old horse is that
he NEVER is in a hurry to go anywhere. And for someone who is
always in a hurry to get somewhere, it
has been the greatest lesson in relaxation! Riding Funest has allowed Lauren: “When I am patient and wait he
will give me everything and more.”
Lauren loves that she can say she rides
a 23-year-old horse that is still “kicking it hard!” She laughs about it often.
But with his age comes such amazing
opportunities. She says, “I find myself
to be extremely lucky to be learning
from such a sweet, kind and knowledgeable horse. It has opened many
doors for me to become a better rider.
Lauren and Funest ave been very
successful in dressage at Young Riders
and PSG levels. Last year Lauren also
leased a 15-year-old KWPN horse and
averaged 63% at PSG. She has
received her USDF Silver Medal and
two scores at Intermediaire I towards
her Gold.
age of seven. Clare is currently competing at JR (3rd Level) and is progressing well.
Not only does Clare excel in her
extra curricular activities, but she also
excels in her schooling. She has taken
many honors during her four years of
high school and has taken A.P. college
classes. She also maintained a G.P.A.
of 3.97 throughout all four years. Clare
also volunteers through the United
States Pony Club, and does multiple 4H activities which range from passing
out flyers to improving the conditions
of rehabilitation hospitals.
Clare Krska and Romincka
Clare and Romincka have a partnership and much gratitude for each
other. Before Clare rode Romincka,
she had experienced many horses that
would not typically be seen in the
competitive dressage arena. Going
from a short-strided, four-beat cantering, 13.1 hand POA, to a big-moving
Dutch mare seemed like a dream come
true to Clare. She states “I am very
grateful for her and the new opportunities she has given me.” Clare loves
every detail about her horse. Including
her “stellar temperament and personality,” She also believes that Romincka
is a “great teacher as well as a cooperative learner. Everywhere we go
together, she brings her presence and
workmanlike attitude,” Clare says.
Another of this year’s Willy Arts
Grant winners is Clare Krska. Clare is
a senior at De Soto High School in
Olathe, Kansas. Clare is trained by her
mother Carol Krska and rides her
horse Romincka on a daily basis.
Romincka is by Welt Hit II x LaLibelle by Farmer, and owned by
Clare and her mother and bred by L.
Martens. Clare has been enjoying
horses and the “horse life” since the
When asked the question, If you
could change one thing about your
horse, what would it be? Clare
responded: “If I could change one
thing about Romincka, it would be to
make her younger. Since she has had
four foals, her training is not at the
place that it could be for her age and
talent.” She feels that Romincka is a
great dressage horse with a humongous amount of potential.
Lauren plans to use the grant to
help her and Funest with their journey
of trying to make the Region 2 USDF
Young Rider Team. “The grant would
help us with our education by entering
clinics with Lendon Gray (April),
Michael Poulin, and many more.”
Lauren will also use the grant to help
with show fees.
Besides competing Young Riders
with Lauren, Funest will also go to the
WEG this year as part of the ParaEquestrian Games!
Page 20 • Newsletter of the KWPN-NA
Clare and Romincka are competing
in the Juniors and last year were undefeated at Second Level with scores
ranging from the high 60s to the low
70s. They placed first at Second Level
Jr/YR KWPN All Breeds (3rd USDF
HOY), and 4th place KWPN (26th
USDF HOY) in Second Level Open.
Their goal is to make it to the 2010
NAJYRC in Kentucky and New Jersey by competing in shows and participating in clinics and other events.
Jaclyn Silver and Uranus
Jaclyn Silver lives in the town of
Bend, OR, and is the winner of the
third grant. She and Uranus (Rane) are
a happy team. Uranus is by Farrington
out of Jameela by Roemer and bred by
Joe Snyder of HHH Ranch. Jaclyn is a
college graduate, class of 2008, and an
Oregon High School Equestrian Team
coach. Together with trainer Heather
Larsen-Price, they volunteer as coaches and assist high school students.
Jaclyn has been around horses all
her life, and started working with
Uranus after a temporary layup. At the
time, Uranus had many issues, and
being unsure of his history, the best
way to overcome those issues was to
bring him back to the basics, starting
with just walking him for 15–20 minutes per day. After four months Jaclyn
was able to finally start longing him,
and after three weeks of longing
Jaclyn was able to get on him. Jaclyn
patiently worked with Uranus to overcome his fear and bad habits from his
earlier training. She stated: “I love his
personality and his quirks, and also
how willing and trustworthy he is now
becoming.” The partnership between
the two has taught Jaclyn that
“patience and hard work pay off.” She
adds that they have both come a long
way in the past two years.
When asked the question, If you
could change one thing about your
horse, what would it be? Jaclyn
responded, “I would increase his level
of confidence,” something that is a
work in progress.
Last year Jaclyn and Uranus
received scores in the low 60’s at First
Level. Jaclyn’s goal for this year is to
be successful in the show ring and to
continue strengthening her bond with
Uranus. They plan to use this grant to
improve Jaclyn’s riding ability as well
as move up through the levels. Jaclyn
will also use the grant to expose
Uranus to new environments in order
to make him a better competitor.
Good Luck to all three winners.
We are looking forward to
hearing great things about and
from you!

BACK TO MY FUTURE
The KWPN Stallion Show in
’s Hertogenbosch, and everything that went with it, was
beyond any expectations I
might have dreamt up.
by Sally Shaffer
I have waited since 1982 when Liz
Searle and Jeff Moore, on one of their
many trips to the Roaring Fork Valley
in the mountains of Aspen, Colorado,
spoke about Dutch Warmbloods. Their
excitement for the beauty of Dutch
Warmbloods and the difference in the
Dutch manner of registering horses in
the stud book made complete sense to
my business minded husband. My
husband, from the wilds of Madison
Avenue and Brooklyn, New York, and
I agreed with Liz and Jeff and entrusted them to buy a WPN mare for us.
My Dutch mare arrived and everyone
came first to look at her and then to see
her babies each year – it was a dream
worth the wait for this New York City
girl who lived for horses and was a die
hard fan of all the Saturday morning
westerns featuring Trigger and Silver.
Taunita elite sport-H (Manno x Renovo)
And now I was in the Brabanthallen amid the breeders of the
world’s best Jumpers and Dressage
horses – not to mention the wonderful
Gelders horses and the flashy Tuigpaarden.
It didn’t matter that I had traveled
to Holland by myself – the love of
quality horses was everywhere and I
was amongst people who spoke horse.
What amazed me were the conversations all around me, mostly men
(seemingly 40 men to 1 woman), and
the general knowledge flying back and
forth. Discussions of each stallion’s
background, siblings’ achievements,
dam side achievements, sire bloodlines, amount of blood in the lineage –
it reminded me of listening to my son’s
conversations about baseball or football with the statistics on each player.
The KWPN girls were so informative,
and having Bart Henstra on the bus
was unsurpassed. Then we came to the
first stop of the tour – the home of
Moorland Totilas and Painted Black,
among many other stallions as well as
the newly retired Gribaldi.
Farewell to Gribaldi
The KWPN Sunday morning tour
was a delight. The people I met from
England, Scotland, Norway, Ireland,
Canada, the States and the Dutch
breeders themselves were so welcoming and gracious that even traveling
alone was not being alone - a trip of a
lifetime. And the tour! The tour featured many of the stallion stations as
well as training stables and facilities.
There were discussions about each
stallion and a tour of the facility: slanted rubber-looking walls in the hall
used for starting young horses, fabulous eurofelt footing all around (cushy
to walk on), entry into the private
office of Edward Gal, the tack rooms
with many saddles from many makers,
the vet clinic, the collecting station and
lab. All complemented by a beautiful
presentation of coffee, tea and lovely
cakes.

Then back on the bus and on to
Friesland and the home of VDL Stud
KWPN College with Ine Deurzen
discussing “Power of Generations”
Page 24 • Newsletter of the KWPN-NA
where they offered petit fours, demitasse coffee and tea, cold cuts, cheeses,
liquors, gift bags and scarves. VDL put
on an immense tour of the workings of
the farm and showed us the private vet
clinic and surgery, the breeding and
stallion station and the pride in their
stallions – but I am preaching to the
choir!! It was wonderful to be around
horse people who love and respect
their horses so much. The most touching was the private, large indoor
turnout that was originally specially
created for Nimmerdor and now used
by a 30+ year-old stallion. I was in my
dream world, which was a real world,
where everything was organized for
the health and benefit of the horse.

Next – off in August for another
adventure: the KWPN National Mare
Show. All this because I have a Nimmerdor 3rd generation Gelders ster
sport/dr mare whose grand-mother
was brought to me by Liz Searle and
Jeff Moore. I could say, it is a “Back
to My Future”.
It makes you want to be there,
doesn’t it? Don’t forget the 2012
Annual Meeting will be at the Stallion Show in ’s Hertogenbosch!

MANE PULLING
Mane Pulling Made Easier.
Want to know an easy way to pull
mane hair “with roots” for DNA tests?
Here’s an easy mane-pulling method
that will keep your horse comfortable
and happy.
Longe, turn out or ride your horse
to warm up its body immediately
before mane pulling. If the horse is
warmed up first, the hair will release
easier.
Begin the mane pulling at the withers and work your way up to the poll.
Position your comb close to the
horse’s neck and wrap several mane
strands of hair around the comb.
Begin with only a few strands. Gently
increase the hair tension on the comb.
Hold a steady tension and wait. After
a second or two, the hair strands will
pop and release by the roots.
If the strands don’t release within a
couple seconds, rewrap several strands
around the comb and try again.
Remember, do not pull the horse’s
hair out. The key to the horse’s comfort is using a steady tension and letting the mane hairs release on their
own. If you are doing mane pulling on
the entire length of the horse’s neck,
pull small segments of mane over several days’ time. Doing small segments
over several days will ensure the most
comfort for your horse.

NEW ENGLAND BREEDERS MEET
On May 1st, the New England
Breeders of Dutch Horses had
their first meeting at Shooting
Star Farm.
by Scot Tolman
We were blessed with a near perfect Saturday afternoon and evening.
People began arriving between 1:00
and 2:00. At around 2:30, we began
with the show-and-tell of SSF horses.
I don’t remember the exact order, but
these were the horses:
Carpe Diem SSF (Farrington x
Pass the Glass xx) Carpe is our second
chestnut filly out of an exceptional TB
mare who we recently had to put
down. Since the horses we know
we’re keeping don’t receive the same
amount of handling as the horses
we’re selling, I thought it best that Ms.
Carpe have a spin around the showand-tell paddock before we used her in
a linear scoring demonstration later
that afternoon...not sure it made any
difference however! She’s a big, powerful girl who is definitely getting a
program this summer.
LaVita keur pref (Elcaro x Belisar)
was not happy about her role in the
show-and-tell. After the keuring at
which she became preferent, I promised her she wouldn’t have to do any
more of these inane displays of purposeless movement. She stood in her
stall and pouted for the rest of the
afternoon. At her last keuring, she literally dug a hole in her stall deep
enough to stock fish, and, when being
led toward the trailer to leave, she
broke free and put herself on the rig,
without her foal. Nonetheless, even
though heavily pregnant and really
irritated with me, she showed she can
still move!
Bowendy (Sir Sinclair x Jazz x
Ulft) This mare garnered some oohs
and aahs from the crowd. She was
born blind in one eye, so she can never
be in the studbook, but she moves like
a slinky.
Oleander B ster (Havidoff x
Ramiro x Elan xx) was also heavily
pregnant, so we didn’t push her, but it
was obvious from her unbelievable
ability to bend her joints how she’s
produced such top babies over the last
few years.
Buttercup SSF (Diamond Hit x
Havidoff) with her UB-40 colt, Fabio
SSF. This was fun to see, as Fabio, aka
Froggy, is the great-great-grandson of
our first Dutch mare. Buttercup also
looked fabulous. Looking back a year,
I probably should have waited a another year before presenting her—she has
stretched out and is really moving
well. Froggy demonstrated for all how
he got his nickname. He’s a flashy,
flashy, bouncy boy.
Orchis (Jazz x Roemer) with her
Rousseau filly, Felicites SSF. Orchis
gets better and better with age. Her
movement is more lovely than ever.
And I know this year’s filly blew people away. I’ve been smitten since she
was born, so it was nice to see such a
positive reaction to her.
Next, we were treated to some time
with Liz Austin and KC Dunn’s lovely Rousseau x Farrington mare, Allure,
bred by Dan and Gina Ruediger. Liz
invited questions while we watched
her braid and tack up Allure. Once at
the dressage ring, Liz explained her
process of introducing horses to new
places and began her warm-up. For
about 30 minutes, Liz rode, talked, and
gradually asked more and more of
Allure—all the while, explaining her
Page 26 • Newsletter of the KWPN-NA
methods and reasons. Liz took questions throughout. At the end of their
session, Liz untacked Allure and we
began our discussion of linear scoring.
We discussed the purpose of linear
scoring and looked specifically at the
points on the linear score sheet that I
personally find most important in
breeding.
As an aside, due to the void of
Dutch breeders in her area and her
love of KWPN-inspired conversation,
KC Dunn was in attendance at our
New England meeting. Of interest to
many of the spectators was KC’s success with E.T. She has nine foals from
Allure, all via E.T.
Next, while I went to get dinner
ready to be served, Kathy Hickerson
took the crowd through the actual
scoring of Carpe Diem SSF, using
copies of the form that the jury used. I
was not there, but from what I understand, Keagan Tolman’s wrestling
skills came in handy while running
this mare for the crowd... As I’ve said,
we don’t handle the keepers anywhere
near as much as we should. I’ve saved
all the linear score sheets, and the person who’s scores come closest to how
the jury scores the mare at this year’s
keuring will win a breeding to
Donatelli.
During dinner, we began a discussion of what we’d like to accomplish
as a group, talked about some goals for
our region, and agreed that we’d like
to meet on a regular basis. I won’t go
into the specifics of the marketing
strategy that we’ve decided to explore,
but I’m excited about it.
Our next meeting is scheduled for
the last weekend in June, at Liz and
Madeleine Austin’s Imajica. Faith Fessenden has agreed to do a video pres-
KWPN entation and talk about the foundation
sires of the KWPN studbook. In anticipation of the New England keuring
on September 11th, we’ll also do a
clinic on preparing for and riding the
IBOP. More details to follow.
Our third meeting will be part of
the KWPN-NA Education Seminar,
held on September 10th, the day
before our keuring at Pineland Farm.
Our winter meeting will be at Dayna
Gant’s Apple Lane Farm, in Lancaster, MA, date and agenda to be
announced. (sorry to not clear it before
posting, Dayna, but you offered—
hope it’s still OK!)
All and all, it was a great day and
really well-received. Having been to
many KWPN-NA Annual Meetings, I
can say that our smaller meeting
served a similar purpose, in that it provided networking opportunities and a
prime setting for good conversation
and the generation of ideas. Of course,
it was free and there was no budget
other than the generosity of everyone
who attended (I still haven’t gone
through all the cheese, crackers, coffee, half-and-half, wine, homemade
breads and non-alcoholic beverages
people were kind enough to bring), so
while we can’t afford to fly in quite the
panel of experts the KWPN-NA is able
to provide the educational benefits are
huge, nonetheless.
A huge thanks not only to everyone
who contributed to the olfactory success of the day, but also to Team Tolman who came through in a HUGE
way under some rather unexpected circumstances: Carol, Michaela, Keagan,
Helaine, Teagan and Caleb. It always
makes me so satisfied with life to see
my family shine.
KEURING
FOAL INSPECTION INFORMATION
During the inspection, a qualified
jury judges the foals. The jury looks at
each foal and decides if it possesses
the desired qualities. Does the foal
have a correct build? Does the foal
move well? After the evaluation, the
jury gives commentary on each foal.
Foal inspections offer breeders an
opportunity to get feedback on their
breeding decisions and to compare
their foal with other foals. In return,
the foal inspections give the studbook
more information about the heritability of the parents and breeders can use
the information to stay updated on the
quality of the traits a stallion passes
on. Breeders can then use the information to help choose a stallion.
KWPN Foalbook and Register A
foals of all types may be presented at
a keuring. Foals must be at least one
month old and parentage must be verified at the time of the inspection.
Preparation
It is important that foals be well
prepared for the inspection. To practice for the inspection it is wise to have
the foal become familiar with a halter
at a young age. After that, you can
teach the foal to walk properly on a
lead line, something that is very
important at an inspection site. At
inspection time, not all the foals have
lost their foal coat. The jury looks at
the quality of the foal, but does not pay
attention to color or hair coat. A foal’s
health is more important than a shiny
coat. Clipping the whiskers around the
nose and eyes is discouraged. These
hairs are part of the sense of touch and
protect the foal against bumping into
things. Clipping the pastern cavities
for inspection is functional because the
jury will be better able to judge the
position of the pastern. The foal’s
mane should be braided at the inspection (if possible).
Evaluation
Foals presented to the jury are
accompanied by their mother. The
mother usually wears the foal’s bridle
numbers. During the individual presentation, the foal is stood up in front of
the jury on the lead line, so that the
jury can evaluate the posture and conformation. To evaluate the movement
of the foal, the mare is trotted in-hand
while the foal is turned loose. The foal
is shown free at the walk, trot and canter as indicated by the jury. After
catching the foal, it is again stood up
in front of the jury. When all the foals
in a class have been evaluated, the jury
decides the order of quality, announces
the results, and the head of the jury
gives commentary on each foal.
Participation
When participating in a keuring, it
is important that the owner is aware of
all the directives and regulations in
regards to inspection. All the necessary information can be found in the
keuring entry booklet, the handbook
and the KWPN-NA website. Please
read the information carefully in
advance. Owners can enter their foal
in the keuring by completing and submitting the keuring entry form and liability release (mailed to all current
members in May, and available on the
KWPN-NA website).

KWPN-NA Education Seminars
Seminars will include both lectures and hands-on experience, explaining the KWPN system, what it is that the jury looks for
in each particular type of horse and why the horses are scored the way they are – to include movement/jumping, class specifications and rules. Participants will be introduced to the history, purpose and use of the linear scoresheet as well as sport- conformation review and pedigree concerns. By the end of the seminar, participants will be expected to complete a linear score
sheet, assign scores and verbalize their conclusions to the group.
Attendees must register for the seminar in advance. No observers/auditors or videotaping/recording will be permitted!
Seminar Cost: $100 (Lunch is included.)

KWPN-NA KEURING CHAMPIONSHIP AWARDS
Sponsored by Rabobank
For Foals and Three to Five year old Mature Horses
The KWPN-NA is excited to
announce the KWPN Foal Champions
Awards program. This program has
been made possible by generous support from the Rabobank. The
Rabobank has a history of engaging in
local communities in line with their
concepts by sponsoring activities in
the food and agricultural sector. The
KWPN-NA and Rabobank both know
how important it is to support and recognize breeders in North America, and
have partnered together to bring this
exciting program to our member
breeders.
Cash Awards
These awards provide cash prizes
in connection with the keuring tour to:
• The North American bred and born
Foal Champion and
Champion in a Premium
class. Open to foals in
breeding directions with
mum score of 75 points.

• The North American bred and born
Mature Horse Champion and
Reserve Champion in a Studbook
Inspection. Open to mares, geldings and stallions in all five breeding directions, 3 to 5 years of age
with a minimum score of 75 points.
There is likely no other way to give
back to a successful breeder so directly than cash to help to offset breeding,
veterinary, showing and keuring
expenses that breeder’s incur each and
every year.
As a breeder organization, we are
thankful to Rabobank for supporting
our member breeders and couldn’t be
more excited to announce the KWPNNA Keuring Championship Awards.
Good luck to everyone!

KEURING
IBOP PERFORMANCE TESTS
KWPN performance tests are
designed to provide insight into a
horse’s natural talent for sport. At a
keuring, judges evaluate each horse.
Test results and comments from the
judges provide breeders with a more
complete picture of their horse’s talent.
commentary on each horse and will
aid the breeder in forming a complete
picture of the horse’s talent for sport.
The IBOP predicate is awarded to
mares, geldings and stallions that pass
their respective tests. The predicate
indicates that a horse possesses sufficient talent for sport.
on posture and balance, reflexes, technique, strength, attitude, rideability,
manageability and talent for jumping.
Marks for walk, trot and posture and
balance do not count in the final score.
The remainder of the marks do count,
and the marks for canter, reflexes and
technique count double.
Performance tests are particularly
important for horses that do not compete in sport as they have not generated competition records, which are
good indicators of an individual
horse’s success. The KWPN evaluates
competition records when available,
but it must also gather data on horses
that do not compete in sport because
not every owner has the opportunity or
desire to train his or her horse for competition. Gathering data on sport talent
from this group of horses is very
important to the KWPN breeding goal
of producing horses that can perform
at the highest levels of sport.
Performance
Horses can earn a maximum of 100
points and need a minimum of 75
points to pass the test.
IBOP
The IBOP (Individual Equine Utility Exam) is a 10–20 minute performance test in which judges evaluate a
horse’s under-saddle performance and
talent for sport. Horses are ridden or
driven by their own riders or drivers
and can participate in the IBOP starting at 32 months of age. Dressage
horses must perform a dressage test,
and jumpers must jump several obstacles under the direction of the judges.
Harness horses are required to perform
in harness. Gelders horses must participate in one of two tests: an under-saddle evaluation (dressage and jumping)
or an in-harness evaluation (driving
and cones). The judges will again give
During the IBOP, dressage horses
are required to ride an individual dressage test, followed by a presentation
under saddle in a group of two to four
pairs. This entails showing the basic
gaits as well as a number of pace
changes. Four year olds are required
to do some leg yield, and five year
olds and older must show the shoulder in.
Jumping horses are required to
show basic gaits and jump over a
number of obstacles. The obstacles
are jumped in the trot and canter. For
three year olds, the obstacles are 80 to
90 cm high, for four year olds 90 to
100 cm and for five year olds 100 to
110 cm. If the horse is more than five
years old the height is decided by the
jury, depending on the level of training the horse might need to jump
higher than 110 cm.
Evaluation
Dressage horses are judged on the
basic gaits: walk, trot and canter.
Additionally horses are judged on
limberness, posture and balance, rideability, manageability and talent for
dressage. The marks for walk, trot
and canter count double in the final
decision.
Jumpers are also judged on basic
gaits. Additionally horses are judged
Page 30 • Newsletter of the KWPN-NA
Admission to the studbook
and predicates
If a horse earns at least 75 points
for the test, it will receive the IBOP
(jumping) or IBOP (dressage) predicate. After the IBOP, a mare or gelding that has not yet been evaluated for
studbook can immediately be presented for studbook and declared Ster as
well (if it obtains sufficient points).
Additional fees will have to be paid.
After passing their IBOP, it is
sometimes also possible for horses
already accepted into the studbook to
earn a (higher) predicate. For example,
if a horse receives the minimum points
for conformation (70 for riding- and
68 for harness horses) at the studbook
inspection but fails to get the minimum points needed for movement or
jumping (75) or the minimum overall
score for harness horses (140), it can
earn the ster predicate by successfully
completing an IBOP.
A mare that is declared “eligible for
keur” will become keur after a successful completion of the IBOP.

Richard Spooner and Pako win
Derby in La Baule
On Saturday, May 15, Richard
Spooner won the derby at the CHIO in
La Baule (France). The American rider
and his gelding Pako (Farmer out of
Epris by Rubinstein-Lorenz x Formateur, breeder Deborah P. Harrison,
CA) had the only clear round in the
1,100-meter course with a pond and 21
jumps. His time of 162 seconds therefore did not matter. Spooner and Pako
won €16.500 for their efforts.
Chester Weber wins eighth
USEF National Four-In-Hand
Championship.
Chester had the only double clear
round in the Cones during the pouring
rain and used the opportunity to put
two of his pairs together, making this
the first time he had driven the four as
one team in the cones; Grumus and
Para (Harmonie x Irzela by Renovo,
breeder C. van Etten) in the wheel and
Horace and Boy (Manno x Dereda by
Wilhelmus, breeder S. Daniels) in the
lead. “The first time I ever drove them
in the cones was about an hour before
they went in the ring.” Weber hopes
that this dynamic foursome will be his
cones team for the WEG.
