It was a busy Saturday morning and due to heavy rain the entire program was held indoors. Udo de Haan and Ria Hettinga presented the eight stallions – who had already passed their saddle exam – in the harness section. The topper was Jasper – Jeppe 537. The four-year-old stallion achieved the highest number of points, just like in the riding test. Full of panache and with a beautiful use of the foreleg, Jeppe 537 trotted to 93.5 points in his harness test, with a 9 for the front leg and hind leg, and in the driving part he received a 9 for trot, for flexibility and switching.
Tiede 501, Teun 505 and Fonger 478 as paternal sire
With this nine, the studbook can add two sons of Tiede 501, two of Teun 505, an Alwin 469, a Fonger 478, an Ulbrân 502, a Nane 492 and an Anders 451 to the elite corps. Tiede 501, Teun 505 and Fonger 478 are their first approved sons. All nine have a different mother’s father. The maternal lines from which the stallions descend are also very diverse, with the exception of two stallions from line 50. Eight of the nine stallions are carrier-free. “We would have liked to see more blood spread,” said HKC jury chairman Piet Bergsma, looking back. “But to be honest, it was clear from the first viewing that it wasn’t possible.”

De correct gebouwde, jeugdige hengst is zeer nieuwsgierig en fijn om mee te werken waarbij hij wat meer looplust zou mogen tonen. Met zijn zadelexamen bleek al dat hij een sterke stap en een voldoende galop heeft, maar ook dat hij meer lichaamsgebruik mocht laten zien. Aangespannen toont hij veel statuur en zelfhouding en een stijgende lijn in prestaties.
