Highlander C (Numero UnoxVingino) starts his Performance Test

/in /by

On Tuesday, March 17th Highlander C out of National Show and Elite mare Ditty Dante C started his Performance Test at the KWPN centre in Ermelo. When a stallion is selected for the Performance Test, he is working on the last stretch towards approval. The stallions will be tested for 70 days in their natural talent for the sport. They will be selected with a view to their possible role as a sire. During the Performance Test the stallion has to pass several key stones. Not every stallion will pass the whole 70 days and get his approval. Now Highlander C has to develop and we need to cross our fingers!
