Friday - DRESSAGE DAY
HEY YOU DRESSAGE BREEDERS!
The 2010 KWPN Stallion Show Championship Ring saw five dressage stallions brought together for a final review and Champion designee. How did these five work their way to the top of the dressage group?
The 2010 KWPN Stallion Show Championship Ring saw five jumper stallions brought together for a final review and Champion designee. How did these five work their way to the top of the jumper group?
Ari Hamoen THE HEAD OF THE STALLION SELECTION COMMITEE will share with you the videos, observations and reasons for the Committee's selection. This is his first trip ever to NA....and, breeders/owners/riders, he is presenting just for YOU!
1600 young stallions were previewed in November. Mr. Hamoen will instruct and enlighten you on the multi-viewing process the KWPN Stallion Committee used to arrive at their conclusions which sent these 10 young stallions to their respective championship rings in February.
These selected stallions will shape the next generation of KWPN horses. Can you breeders afford to miss this?! Can you afford to miss learning the genetic appraisal notes on individuals throughout each pedigree - the unique qualities each can contribute to your future foals!
This opportunity can NOT be found in any magazine or on any web-site. This is happening only at the KWPN-NA Annual Meeting!
But wait!, That's not all!!
Bart Henstra, the KWPN-NA's Jury member from Holland, is bringing for us -IN ENGLISH! (novel idea, that!) the charts of breeding traits the approved stallions are contributing to their offspring (gathered and collated from the linear scoresheets of all inspected offspring) This is like getting the Key to the City of Breeding Heaven. Bart will take us through the charts, show how to read and use them in our breeding - and (not to be overlooked) training - programs. Bart also will enlighten us on the work being done on testing/evaluating for temperament in a breeding program. Can you afford to miss this???
.....and there's MORE!
Dr. Deborah Harrison will bring us all up to date on the very latest from the American Association of Equine Practioners, with a special focus on breeding news.
Johan Knaap, Director of the KWPN will give an overview of the past year and the future of the KWPN and its members and horses. Note: We're all a part of THAT review and planning. Learn the focus of the future of our organizations.
Irene Wolfs, KWPN Marketing, Public Relations and Foreign Department Coordinator will tell, with good humor and great English, the accomplishments and goals for ALL of us about the marketing of our Dutch Horses worldwide.
If that were not enough to entice you,,,the afternoon brings super dressage horses at Michael Barrisone's farm. Michael (USA reserve rider for the Hong Kong Olympics) will conduct a 'dressage lesson' with a current Grand Prix winning Licensed KWPN-NA stallion!
(Lastly, don't forget to make the dinner and silent auction Saturday night where a chance at lessons from Steffan Peters, Debbie Macdonald, Leslie Reid and Willy Arts will be items for bidding, as well as stallion breedings, and a dressage arena just to name a few.)
NO WAY, can you miss this!

Saturday - JUMPER DAY
HEY YOU JUMPER BREEDERS!
First - read the first paragraphs in the Dressage section. - THEN -back to this one.
Paul Hendriks. "Who?", you may ask.
For some in North America, this name is unknown. Come join the 'knowing'. Paul and his brother, Emile, are of the European acclaimed "Hendriks" family, well-known for their riding, training, and breeding accomplishments. Brother Emile - European & World Championships plus Olympic Games and FEI Jumping Committee. Brother Paul, business-end of Stal Hendrix as well as breeder, and member of Board of Directors of KWPN. Mr. Hendriks attends shows, large and small, selecting horses for pairing with riders worldwide. As a breeder, his horses have been 'under the saddles' of Laura Kraut, Ian Millar, Jessica Kurten, Markus Fuchs to name a few.
So - what is he going to share with you? Merely, how to select quality breeding stock to produce a grand prix jumper! The schedule followed preparing a young stallion for the Hengstenkeuring (the KWPN Stallion Selection Show) - to include training, feeding, preparation methods. Overall training of young jumping horses...and from his tremendous experience at Stal Hendrix - how to market those youngsters. Oh,,,,in case THAT isn't enough,,,training and evaluating a young horse in the free-jumping chute.
Regardless of your breeding disciplines - Can you afford to miss all that????
Need more from Paul Hendrix and his expertise? Bring your sunscreen and hats. Paul and Bart Henstra will conduct an 'up close and personal workshop on evaluating free jumping plus under saddle work. This segment will be held at the farm of Julis Harrison-Lee and will feature top jumpoing horses and a world-famous rider.
