Performance Characteristics
QUALITY, MIND & FUNCTIONALITY
Quality
By focusing on the right genetics, we draw out the best qualities of our mare lines through the stallions we pair them with.
Mind
We take care to select horses that are intelligent and able to respond to the pressure of training with suppleness and a quiet, clear reaction. With a teachable, pliable, and inquisitive mind, our horses develop a work ethic that is conducive to a lovely and enjoyable partnership between horse and rider or owner.
Function
Each horse must have the ability to achieve their sport function with ease to the best of its breed characteristics and capabilities. The KWPN horse is known for its intelligence and fluid movements comprised of tact, rhythm, and balance. Equine athletes need a frame that is balanced, capable of sufficient power, suppleness, and natural athletic ability. We look for functionality from the moment each foal is born.
