Jury: Bart Henstra & Arie Hamoen

 

The first stop of the 2018 KWPN-NA Keuring Tour for riding horses was held at the University of Massachusetts.  After this smaller-size keuring, a workshop on “linear scoring” was given for the interested audience.

The highest score of the keuring was awarded to the jumper filly Nonette MG. This modern, long-lined filly sired by Zapatero has an athletic body with well-developed withers and shoulder. She is light-footed, has suppleness in her movement, and especially her canter has good balance.

The filly Nessarette MG (Glamourdale) is a well-muscled dressage type, with a long vertical neck and uphill-built body. She is also uphill in her movement with good power and sufficient use of her body.

The three-year-old mare Kiarites SSF (Fairytale) earned her ster predicate. This elegant, refined mare has a supple, light-footed trot with good suspension.

2018 KWPN-NA Keuring Tour – “Report from the Road”  

 August 27, 2018

Lafayette, NJ
Host: Katie Moriarty
On Course Riding Academy www.oncourseriding.com
Jury: Bart Henstra & Arie Hamoen

The second riding-type keuring took place at the convenient and well-equipped facility of Chris and Katie Moriarty from On Course Riding Academy.

The high score jumping award was given to the sport jumper mare called Dido (Mr. Blue x Carthago). This well-proportioned mare has a lot of quality and is a great jumper type, scoring an 85 for her conformation. She is long-lined with an expressive forehand, a good topline and a long croup. She is very correct in the stance of her legs. This 10-year-old mare has performed already at the 1.35m level, and therefore was awarded keur. Besides all of this, her pedigree is also quite interesting, both sire-wise and with a famous damline ‘van het Roosakker’, which has already provided top Grand Prix jumper horses.

Two other mares were also awarded keur. The 15-year-old Wianta W, who performed at the 1.40m level, is still very fit and long-lined. Her well-muscled neck is long and her withers are well developed.

Also, Fleur de Lis received keur. She could be more developed but every time under saddle she shows great reflexes and attitude. When the jumps get higher, Fleur du Lis improves in her technique and use of her body. This gave her the highest GES Cup score of the day with 80 points. The four-year-old gelding Just Sailing received a score of 76.5 in his GES Cup free jumping and he also passed his IBOP in the hunter direction.

Two dressage foals were presented and both were presented with a high first premium. First place was for the elegant Vitalis daughter Namaste WRF. This very correctly-built filly has a long, well-muscled neck and a good topline. She has correct stance of the legs. In trot she is light-footed with good suspension and articulation of her joints. In canter she shows good technique. Second place was the well-developed colt Newport Jazz WRF by Everdale. This well-muscled colt has a vertically-placed neck and long croup. His trot has a lot of articulation, but could step under more. His canter is supple, powerful and well balanced.

First premiums were awarded to:

Dousman, WI
Host: Deanna Greulich
Blue Gate Farm www.bgfsporthorses.com
Jury: Bart Henstra & Harrie Derks

Blue Gate Farm facilitated the keuring in Wisconsin, and these well-equipped accommodations made this smaller keuring run smoothly.

High scores were achieved by the foals, and especially the dressage foals impressed both the judges and the audience. High score of the keuring was awarded to the Jazz filly called Nirvana SS.  This young and uphill-built filly is expressive and refined. Her trot is special, light-footed, adjustable, athletic with a lot of carrying power and uphill tendency. Her walk and canter show good length of stride and articulation. With a total score of 80 this foal is ranked third in the country so far.

Second place was for the athletic son of Sir Sinclair named Nikolas SS. This long-lined colt has a long, well-shaped neck and shows a lot of technique in his supple movement. He has very good use of his body in walk, trot and canter. Third place was earned by the well-muscled filly Nadieni, sired by Dream Boy. This correctly-built filly has a good topline, an active and powerful hindleg in trot and canter, and shows good articulation and uphill tendency. Fourth place was earned by the best dressage type of this class: Newton (by Vitalis) is really well-proportioned and has an uphill build, well-muscled body and a lot of expression. His canter is long-strided with good balance and carrying ability, and his trot shows good technique with sufficient suppleness.

The long-lined two-year-old UB-40 gelding Louisville SS has a well-shaped vertical neck and a good dressage type with lean legs. His movement is light-footed, has good reach in his front leg and shows sufficient power.

2018 KWPN-NA Keuring Tour – “Report from the Road”

 September 3, 2018

Sherwood, OR
Host: Dan & Gina Ruediger
Sonnenberg Farm www.sonnenberg.us
Jury: Bart Henstra & Harrie Derks

This keuring in Oregon was held at the great location of Sonnenberg farm. Our hosts Dan and Gina Ruediger had a lot of interested spectators coming to this keuring, who could all watch the quality presented in the dressage classes. Faith Fessenden also informed all people at the keuring with additional information about the linear scoring and pedigrees.

The high score ribbon was awarded to the three-year-old dressage mare called Kiriska (sired by Jazz). This modern and elegant dressage mare has an expressive long, well-shaped neck and athletic body. Kiriska shows a great body use in movement: her walk is active with good reach and very supple. Same for her trot, as she impressed us with her body use and her suppleness, her very good leg technique and articulation. Her trot is always uphill and carrying with a very good use of her neck. Her canter is powerful and active with good length of stride. A total score of 80 for her conformation and 90 for her movement tells it all.

The four-year-old Juliette D’Rosa (Ampere) is a powerful and well-muscled mare. She also has a good dressage type with well-developed withers, long sloping shoulder and a good topline. In movement she is powerful with good suspension, has a lot of articulation and technique, and has an expressive use of her frontleg. Her canter is carrying and powerful with good length of stride.  With 80 for conformation and 85 for movement Juliette D’Rosa also got a very good score and received her keur eligible predicate.

Two older dressage mares, who already did their IBOP, were presented for keur and both were upgraded. The great five-year-old Izabella (Sezuan) already scored a 84.5 in her IBOP with a 9.5 for her fantastic canter. This long-lined, well-developed mare was easily promoted to keur and since she also got her D-OC she became elite. Also Gold Pleasure (Wynton) was awarded elite today. This elegant mare has a good rectangular type and a well-shaped long neck. She also passed her IBOP and in-hand she showed an expressive use of her frontleg.

In the DG Bar Cup for six-year-old horses the keur mare Hannah Anda (UB40) was presented. This well-trained mare is confirmed in her riding. She has a clear active walk, she uses her hindleg well in trot and especially her canter was well-balanced and shows good rhythm. In the collection she is active and engaged in her hindleg. With an overall score of 81 this mare was ranked first nationally (to date) in the DG Bar Cup.

The class of dressage foals also showed quality. The winner was the filly Nadia D’Rosa (Franklin). This filly shows sufficient development and a good dressage type, but in movement she becomes quite special. Her canter is great, with lots of power, balance, suppleness and technique. Her trot has a lot of suspension and a very expressive use of her frontleg. With an 85 score for her movement this filly was awarded with the high score for young dressage horse and is now third in the country so far. Runner up was the colt Nautilos (Governor). This colt has a very good dressage type, is long-lined, with an uphill body direction and a well-shaped long neck. His light-footed movement shows an active use of his hindleg and sufficient reach in his front leg with good posture. In third place was the colt Nebraska (Ibiza).  This well-built colt is somewhat sickle-hocked in his hindleg, but his trot has good posture and reach and especially his canter is well-balanced, powerful and adjustable. The well-developed filly Nadanta (Fidertanz) is well-muscled and correctly built. Her trot is expressive with good technique, and the canter has good length of stride with sufficient power.

Sedalia, CO
Host: Lauren Woodruff
The Hillside Center www.thehillsidecenter.com
Jury: Bart Henstra & Harrie Derks

Is has been more than 20 years since a KWPN keuring was held in Colorado, but host Lauren May Woodruff made it possible to organize a keuring at the scenic foot of the Rocky Mountains.

Highest score of the keuring was awarded to a young dressage foal called Nobello CBF (sired by Indigro). This well-developed and long-lined colt has a good dressage type with sufficient muscling in his topline. He has a well-shaped, long croup and correct legs. Has trot shows good length of stride with sufficient power, and his canter is well balanced, powerful and shows uphill tendency.

High adult dressage horse score was awarded to the ster gelding Jumani, sired by Johnson. Jumani was presented in the Dressage IBOP were he showed his powerful, long-strided and well-balanced canter.  His walk is correct with sufficient length but could be more supple; his trot has sufficient length of stride and good articulation but can become more engaged. With an 8.5 for his canter, Jumani successfully passed his IBOP with a total of 75. He received the same score in the DG Bar Cup for four-year-olds.

In the Jumper IBOP division, the dressage-bred six-year-old gelding Hermus P (Oscar) also passed his IBOP with a total of 78. This scopey gelding has a well-balanced canter, a quick but somewhat forward take off, and seems to be careful. He improved in his technique and body use when the jumps were raised and at the higher oxers he showed good bascule and opens well behind. Hermus P also was awarded ster in the jumper direction and received 78 points in the GES cup.

Hanford, CA
Host: Willy Arts
DG Bar Ranch www.dgbarranch.com
Jury: Bart Henstra & Harrie Derks

At the first day of the well-organized DG Bar Keuring mainly riding classes and studbook entries were done. The dressage riding classes included both IBOP and DG Bar Cup entries.

High score IBOP and winner of the three-year-old DG Bar Cup was the stallion Koning DG (Bordeaux). This very rideable and well-trained stallion has a great use of his body. Especially his walk and canter were outstanding. His walk is really supple through the body, long-strided and active. His trot shows good posture and very good use of his neck with good articulation. His canter was very balanced, supple and uphill with a lot of athleticism. With an overall score of 85.5 in his IBOP and DG Bar, Koning received a top score with 9’s for walk and canter.

Second place in the DG Bar Cup for three-year-olds was awarded to Kiamenta DG (Bordeaux). This supple light-footed mare is balanced and easy to ride. Her trot has good technique and body use. Also her canter is balanced with good body use.  Third place was for the gelding Kabuki (Charmeur). This elegant gelding shows good power in his canter with active use of his hind leg. Also his trot shows good leg technique with sufficient uphill tendency.

Winner of the four-year-old DG Bar Cup was Joule (Ampere) .This powerful gelding shows good posture and carrying ability in both trot and canter. He has good articulation and suspension and shows always uphill tendency and good balance. Second place was the new keur mare Jamebria (Charmeur).

In the fourth spot was the versatile gelders mare Jande (Parcival). Janda has powerful movement: in her Gelders IBOP she received a 9 for her powerful active canter and an 8.5 for her talent as a dressage horse.

2018 KWPN-NA Keuring Tour – “Report from the Road”

 September 7, 2018

Parkland County, AB
Host: Ellicia Edgar
Valleyfield Farm www.valleyfieldfarm.com
Jury: Bart Henstra & Harrie Derks

Today’s keuring in Alberta was held for the first time at Valleyfield Farm. This well-equipped farm has good footing and was well organized.

nteresting was that several international competition jumper mares were presented for studbook entry. High score keuring was awarded to a 17-year-old Grand Prix 1.60m jumper mare Beausoleil (Rubens du Ri D’asse). Beausoleil is still very fit and has a good jumper type, is well proportioned with a well-muscled topline, an athletic body and a long, well-shaped croup and correct legs. Her canter is very balanced with good length of stride. With an 85 for conformation this mare earned her ster and keur eligible predicate easily. For keur she needs to fulfil additional requirements.

The 15-year-old Whisper (Indoctro) competed at the 1.40m level and showed as a six-year-old at the World Championships for Young Horses in Lanaken. This long-lined refined mare also has a good jumper type with a somewhat flat croup. Her canter is still supple with an active use of her hind leg. Whisper earned her keur predicate today.

Another 15 year old mare called Bini Balou  (Balou du Rouet) was awarded keur eligible. Bini Balou showjumped at 1.35m level. This longlined well developed mare is very correct and has a well developed withers and good topline. Her canter is balanced with sufficient body use. If Bini Balou fulfils her requirements she will become keur.

The seven-year-old mare Ultra Daimonde VF (Diarado) earned her keur eligible predicate with her quick reflexes (scoring 85) and her carefulness. This eager mare likes to jump and shows a powerful canter and takeoff. She has a quick use of her front leg and especially on the higher oxers she used her body well and showed good scope.

The 5-year-old stallion Messenger passed his jumper IBOP and was awarded ster. This well-muscled stallion has a long-strided canter with good rhythm and sufficient body use. In jumping he could be quicker in the reflexes but has good scope and is brave. Messenger improves in his body use on the higher oxers and has good leg technique on the jumps. He is sometimes somewhat strong in the connection to the bridle.

In total of 13 jumper foals were presented, with the highest score awarded to the athletic son of Messenger called Navigator VF. This long-lined jumper colt has a good topline and a long croup. His trot is supple and light-footed but especially his canter is athletic, adjustable and shows good length of stride. It is very easy for Navigator VF to keep his balance and change direction.  The long-lined and well-muscled colt Nitro MS (Nassau) earned second place. Nitro MS has good length in his body and high, long withers with a long sloping shoulder. He has a supple trot with good suspension and a well-balanced canter with good length of stride.

The high score dressage ribbon was awarded to Nakita (Franklin). This well-muscled filly has good technique in her gaits.

2018 KWPN-NA Keuring Tour – “Report from the Road”

 September 10, 2018

Cardigan, PEI
Host: Martha & Ken Mellish
New Perth Farms www.newperthfarms.ca
Jury: Bart Henstra & Harrie Derks

The final keuring of the 2018 KWPN-NA tour was held at Prince Edward Island. It has been six years since a keuring was held there.

The high score of the keuring was awarded to the three-year-old jumper mare Katrina Rose NPF (Klinton). This sufficiently-developed mare has a great attitude for jumping and is very eager. She is quick and powerful in her somewhat forward takeoff. She seems to be careful and has quick reflexes. She has a sufficient body use with a good opening of her haunches. With 80 for jumping and 80 in the GES Cup this mare was awarded ster and keur eligible.

The six-year-old dressage mare Hanosa NPF (Johnson) was presented in the dressage IBOP and the DG Bar Cup. Hanosa NPF has a good posture in trot and canter. Her light-footed trot shows good technique with sufficient reach. Especially her canter is powerful, well-balanced and has a lot of articulation and engagement (8.5 for her canter). Her walk is clear but should be longer strided and more supple. With a passing score of 75, Hanosa NPF was awarded ster. In the DG Bar Cup, Hanosa showed her powerful canter again, but she could be more confirmed in her connection and exercises (earning a 74.5).
