The annual KFPS Stallion Inspection will take place in 2010 in the WTC Expo in Leeuwarden on January 7, 8 and 9. The program starts on Thursday with the young stallions undergoing their second round of judging. The best of them will be presented again on Friday afternoon. Meanwhile, Friday morning will feature a wide array of clinics, and the Pavo KFPS Stallion Competition is scheduled for Thursday evening.

 

Just as last year, many clinics will be offered on Friday morning. Interesting clinics for both dressage fans and show cart fans. Breeding, of course, will also be addressed. Dressage clinics, a theory and hands-on lesson in judging and movement, and sports psychology are just a few of the subjects these clinics will handle. Most of the clinics will be given not only in Dutch but also in English or German so that our foreign members can follow along.
 

Friday evening is once again reserved for entertainment starring our Friesian horses. This year, you can enjoy a special show flown in from the USA with eight horses pulling a marathon wagon as well as a blood-curdling Roman battle. Also included in the program will be the parade of champions and a dressage routine choreographed to music. And this year, we will be also be devoting a lot of attention to show cart driving by including special show driving events. The show evening will start at around 7:00 p.m. Once again, you can look forward to an absolutely wonderful evening of entertainment.
 
True to tradition, the program for Saturday focuses on presenting all the approved KFPS studbook stallions to both the jury and spectators. You can then become acquainted with the newest crop of stallions: seven stallions have been approved with excellent ratings this year in the Netherlands. But you will also be seeing the older stallions in the judging ring.
