Report From the Road – Six Pound Farm (VA)

Date: 9/25/2022
Suffolk, VA
Host:  Tracy Geller & Grant Stearns
Jury: Bart Henstra & Arie Hamoen

We took a scenic drive down the eastern shore of Maryland into Virginia to our next stop,
Six Pound Farm in Suffolk, VA. Surrounded by crops of cotton and peanuts, we enjoyed a beautiful day watching KWPN horses.  Of special note was the presentation of 3 KWPN Jumper mares that have their sport predicate; we were happy to enter them into our studbook!  Thank you to our hosts Tracy Geller & Grant Stearns for putting on this well organized keuring.  Congratulations to all of our participants for a successful day!

Please remember, that the jury’s remarks are for a snapshot in the lifetime of a horse.
First & Second Premium awards are given to horses that exceed and/ or meet the KWPNs high breed standards, and we are grateful to the owners and breeders for showing them to us. Not all first premium or ster horses are mentioned in ‘The Report from the Road ‘, only those horses that really stand out to the jury.
