The PROK predicate, which stands for ‘Project Röntgenologisch Onderzoek KWPN’ (Project Radiographical Research KWPN in English) is awarded only to horses that meet the KWPN’s radiographic requirements. This means the horse has good bone quality, which—if bred—it can pass on to any potential offspring.

How to go about when you want to receive this predicate? Have your vet take the specific radiographs needed. The images are then sent to the KWPN and officially assessed by the PROK committee, which consists of independent veterinarians. They must be evaluated by the KWPN within three months of being taken. With a positive evaluation, the PROK certificate is awarded.
