We offer several Performance Classes at our Annual Keuring (Inspection) tour. You’ll receive valuable feedback from the judges and you can earn prize money as well as an official KWPN IBOP predicate, which makes a Keur and Elite predicate possible.

• IBOP test (Individual Suitability Test for Horses)
  This a one-day performance test, available for all breeding directions. Horses have their own rider or driver. The goal is to gain insight into a horse’s natural talent for the sport they’re bred for. The IBOP is open to mares, geldings, and unapproved stallions aged 32 months and older.
• The DG Bar Dressage Cup, sponsored by DG Bar Ranch.
  This is a competition for three-, four-, five/six- and seven/eight -year-old dressage horses. Gaits, rideability, balance, rhythm, suppleness and the ability to collect and extend are some of the factors that are considered as the horses perform. Entrants may sign up for either the IBOP or the DG Bar Cup, or for both.
• Global Equine Sires Jumper Cup, sponsored by Global Equine Sires.
  This Cup is a free-jumping competition for horses three and four years of age, and for 5-8 year-old horses the Cup is ridden under saddle. Entrants may sign up for the Global Equine Sires Cup only or in combination with their studbook inspection and IBOP.

Take a look on the website to see what classes you can enter in. Equal to our studbook classes, you have to be a member to enter.
