Two five-year-old Holsteiner Association stallions are taking part in the final performance test under the old HLP system in Münster-Handorf.
These are Deichkind by Don VHP-Limbus (Rasmus Lüneburg, Hetlingen), line 8763, and Union City by United Way-Connor (Alf Bartholomäus, Klein Offenseth), line 18A2.
HLP information:
With the start of 2025, the new structure for the stallion performance test for riding horse stallions will come into force. Accordingly, the separate performance tests for four- and five-year-old stallions will be discontinued in future, to be replaced by the HLP grading test and sporting successes at competitions. For the last time, a Sport Test Part II for five-year-old stallions will take place in Münster from 3 to 5 February – that is, for those who began their performance test under the previous system and wish to complete it under that system. Demand is high: a total of 25 dressage-oriented and 22 show jumping-oriented stallions have been entered for this farewell event.
