The Model declaration is traditionally one of the highlights of the Central Inspection. Eight out of the eleven Crown mares that entered the ring in Harich were given the highest predicate within the Studbook.
Big difference between Crown or Model
In the early afternoon the tension alongside the ring was palpable. For the owners of the Crown mares, with every single one of them trotting around the ring in top condition, but also for the visitors that had come in large numbers and enjoyed it all from their seats on the sunbathed patios of Manege Gaasterland. The audience clearly had its favourites and vented it with great enthusiasm. Head of Jury Piet Bergsma explained that they had really taken their time for the inspection because, in spite of the high quality of the Crown mares, there is still a big difference between a Crown mare and a Model mare.
Here are the mares that from now on carry the Model predicate:
