Four prominent dressage stallions—United, Ampere, All at Once, and Ferguson—have been officially proclaimed as "Keur" stallions by the KWPN breeding society. The announcement came during the 2026 KWPN Stallion Licensing event held in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands.
The KWPN breeding society, known for its rigorous standards in equestrian breeding, recognized these four stallions for their exceptional qualities in dressage. United, Ampere, All at Once, and Ferguson each met the criteria to earn the prestigious "Keur" designation, a mark of superior breeding potential and performance lineage.
This proclamation occurred at the annual KWPN Stallion Licensing in 's-Hertogenbosch, a key event in the Dutch equestrian calendar that evaluates young stallions for future breeding programs. The process involves detailed inspections of conformation, movement, and genetic background, ensuring only the finest are approved.
Such recognitions bolster the global reputation of KWPN-bred horses in competitive dressage, where precision and athleticism are paramount. Breeders and riders alike view "Keur" status as a significant endorsement, often leading to increased demand for offspring from these stallions.
