from the influence of the approved stallion Samber. To become a breeding horse, mares must stand at least 15.2 hands (62 inches, 157 cm) and stallions at least 15.3 hands (63 inches, 160 cm).\n\nBreeding goals calls for dressage and showjumping horses to be suitable for Grand Prix level riding, while hunter and harness horses should be able to perform at the highest level in their sport. There is a strict selection procedure which ensures that only the most even tempered mares and stallions are registered with the KWPN.\n\nThe Dutch Warmblood is long-legged but substantial with a smooth topline and expressive head. They are built level to uphill in a rectangular frame. A number of traits are desirable in both directions, such as \"long lines\" or a rectangular frame, \"balanced proportions\" and attractiveness. The requirements for the two types differ in the desired interior qualities, but also in form. The exact outline of the Dutch Warmblood varies depending on the pedigree. |
