The small Keuring at Timbach Farm was held at the pretty, well equipped farm of KC Dunn.

Highest score was earned by the athletic jumper foal Ottumwa M (Dulf van den Bisschop x Zorphee ster sport (sp) by Corland, Owner/Breeder: Mary Ellenberger, Maefield Farm). This well developed filly has a very good and well proportioned body. Her withers are well developed and long and she shows a very good back and loin connection. Her trot shows good technique and her canter is powerful with an active use of the hindleg. She is well balanced and adjustable in all her gaits. With an average score of 79, this filly is leading the country so far. Her dam, Zorphee by Corland already had the ster predicate and she performed at 1.40m level. This long lined, correctly build jumper mare was awarded with her Keur predicate today.
