At the breeding day in Baldwin, USA, EAF’s 11-year-old Mia (Doatsen 420 x Teade 392) was provisionally crowned and champion. Four-year-old Katzje C. (Norbert 444 x Dotsen 420) Voorlöbic became Groon and Reserve Breeding Day Champion.
Jurors Jolanda Sludges and Dick Brummell began the judging round on September 19 in the United States. The start immediately set the right tone with two provisional crown mares and a crown mare. Last year’s champion, Gemma Fan Signature Friesian Crown AA (Norbert 444 x Lodvik 431) was able to secure her crown prediction under her IBOP with 79.5 points. “He showed an active step with spring and a good front leg with shoulder freedom,” describes Jolanda Slutzes. ‘Her trot is tactful, spacious enough, curved and self-carried. She has a spacious canter that uses her hind legs well.
Mia
They were able to award two steer mares first premium at Baldwin City and advance them to the provisional crown. Owned by Pamela & Matt Kish’s Signature Friesians, Mia has a luxurious ethnic look thanks to her classic head and well-shaped neck. Jolanda Sludges describes, “She has a strong top and a slightly sloping, long enough croup. “Her gait is active with a curve and enough space. She has plenty of forefoot, a powerful hind leg on the uphill and a well gripped front leg.
Long tail cat
Owned and bred by Katzje Grant & Susan Kazem. Jurors describe the four-year-old mare as still youthful, with a striking long line and a slightly longer head, says Jolanda Sludges. “She has an active gait with space and flexibility. She has space in her trot, balance and a good bend in her hind legs.
Three-year-old Noah Starr
Of the two three-year-olds in the study, Noah Fan Abenduire Acres Steer (Ben 476 x Julius 486) earned a star with a second premium. Owned by Shane & Annette Kessler, the mare has an expressive head, a slightly heavy head/neck connection and a strong back. “Gee showed a wide gait with good shoulder freedom and a trot with bend, balance and drive.”
IBOP
The horses at IBOP are very elegantly presented, the judging duo appreciated. Gemma scored high. Five-year-old Geertsje DV Ster (Andries 415 x Wybren 464) achieved her AA forecast with 77 points. Betje van Boonstra Friesians Ster (Fridse 423 x Tsjalke 397), her IBOP score confirmed that she is a solid Ster.
