On Monday morning 12 September 2011 the KWPN Licensing Committee reviewed a group of 15 show jumping stallions and 12 dressage stallions in order to make a decision to accept them for the 2011 KWPN Autumn Stallion Performance Testing in Stegeren, The Netherlands. From the 12 presented dressage stallions, four were rejected. The committee discussed their decisions with the owners.
Refused dressage stallions were Dacapo (by Dreamcatcher x Montecristo), Didando (by Tuschinski x Jetset D), Delando (by Valdez x Krack C) and Dude (by Vivaldi x Havidoff).
According to Horsetelex the 2011 KWPN reserve licensing champion Dude (by Vivaldi x Havidoff x Recruut) was not accepted for the performance testing because the stallion was very difficult to control at the viewing and there was an issue with the conformation of the front feet.
The autumn performance testing will start on 5 October and the participating dressage stallions are:
- Deniro VOD (by Hotline x Michelangelo)
- Denzel (by Tuschinski x Tango)
- Dark Pleasure (by Ufo x Jazz)
- Dondersteen (by United x Sir Sinclair)
- Davinci (by Valdez x Voltaire)
- Deejay (by Vivaldi x Farrington)
- Desperados (by Vivaldi x Havidoff)
- Dream Theather (by Wynton x G Ramiro Z)
The 2011 Pavo cup reserve champion Chinook (by Vivaldi x Havidoff) will also be participating in the testing. The black Dutch bred stallion is already Westfalian approved.
