Of the 64 stallions presented, 31 were selected for the third round viewing on Saturday. “We enjoyed judging, and we saw a couple nice jumper stallions today. There wasn’t any group that clearly stood out, but it was remarkable that all three Quality Time sons made a positive impression,” explained judging chairman Daan Nanning, who evaluated the stallions with Hester Klompmaker and Cor Loeffen.
