On 7 January 2014, six young stallions began their 35-day Danish warmblood Stallion Performance Testing at the Tørring Riding center in Denmark. The six colts will all turn four years old in the spring.
The participating colts will be trained and performance tested by Torben Frandsen. They finish their testing on 10 February 2014.
This winter Stallion Performance Testing is one of the new initiatives of the Danish Warmblood society, enabling stallion owners to have their colts performance tested before the Danish Warmblood Stallion Licensing, which anually takes place in March in Herning. A stallion needs to score at least 800 points in total in order to pass the testing. This winter testing is a final chance for colts who either failed or couldn't attend the autumn testing in 2013.
Four of the six participating stallions in the winter testing are dressage bred, including the 2013 Danish warmblood licensing champion Zee Me Blue (by Zack). The other dressage colts are Atterupgaards Seebach (by Sandro Hit), the KWPN stallion Fennovanck PP (by Uphill) and Fredensdals Fountain (by Fürstenball).
