Fourteen dressage colts received the green light to begin the 2019 KWPN Autumn Stallion Performance Testing in Ermelo, The Netherlands, on 16 December 2019.
Upon arriving in Ermelo, the stallions were first presented under saddle by their own rider so that the licensing committee could assess their rideability. Afterwards there was a vet check at the equine clinic of Emmeloord with vet Astrid Bos for a clinical examination.
Fourteen dressage colts out of a total of 23 (including the jumpers) were considered good to start the performance testing, which will take 35 days. The final exam takes place on 18 January 2020.
The group that has begun the testing includes the 2019 KWPN licensing champion Le Formidable (by Bordeaux x Ferro) who is in training with Emmelie Scholtens, as well as the reserve champion of the licensing Lennox W (by Grand Galaxy Win x Rousseau) and the already Oldenburg licensed First Date (by Furstenball x Dancier).

- Liverpool (Apache x Ferro)
- Le Formidable (Bordeaux x Ferro)
