The KWPN Licensing Commission recently evaulated the offspring of a large number of young stallions and of a group of older stallions, and came to the conclusion to proclaim three Dutch warmbloods Keur Stallion.
Broere Jazz, Wolfgang and the gelderlander Elegant have shown such a strong collection of offspring, who has won many prizes at both breed shows and sport competitions, that they have deserved the Keur status.
This is good news concerning Broere Jazz, as his trainer Tineke Bartels only just announced to pull back the stallion from competition for a few months. The stated reason for this retreat is an infected hoofbone, which already caused Jazz problems during the CDI-W Berlin. Another reason, undoubtfully, are the problems Tineke is having with him, confirmed at the CDI-W Maastricht where the stallion refused to go into the arena.
"The stallion gets a few months rest to recuperate and we'll see how things go from then on," Bartels said.
