The preferent (preferred) predicate is a predicate that’s earned by offspring for their dam. If at least three of her offspring have obtained the ster, keur or elite predicate at an inspection or have at least been designated for the second viewing of the KWPN stallion selection, a mare has earned the preferent predicate. If one of her offspring has been approved by a KWPN-recognized studbook, this also counts towards the mother’s preference status.
