In the past, Gelders stallions were presented in hand during the second round; this year a new format was implemented. As a result, Henkie, the only three-year-old Gelders stallion to pass the first round viewing, was presented and selected to go on to the third round.

Gelders stallions Henkie and Edmundo were both selected to go on to the third round. Henkie was the only 3-year-old to pass the first round. The Alexandro P son, out of the ster mare Beaujamanda (s.Upperville), was the Dutch national champion as a foal. With his outstanding performance at the Stallion show, he received more applause than any jumper or dressage horse!

Six stallions were invited to the championship, which will take place on Saturday.

Sstallions selected for the Third Round are:
