Third KWPN Select Sale stallion approved
Yesterday, the fall

Rousseau (Ferro) who had already been approved at the spring performance
examination. All three of these approved stallions changed hands during
the KWPN Select Sale on February third 2001, the latter being the auctions
top lot. They were part of a group of 21 stallions that were auctioned
at an average of fl 80.000,-.
Rockefeller impressed
the selection committee with his jumping skills. For technique and aptitude
he scored a 7.5, for scope and force an 8. The bay stallion, bred by Mister
Trommelen from Oosteind and owned by Van de Lageweg Studfarm in Beers
and S. Pfifferling and G. Parot from Chili, will stay available in the
Netherlands for breeding.

A first inspection is already taking place in Ermelo, after which the

selection can be signed up for the Select Sale. An in-depth procedure
