This week, the young stallions of the 2021 crop took part in the pre-selection for the grading from 14 to 16 December 2023 in Elmshorn. It is now clear which candidates have been admitted to the grading event.
As things stand, around 50 stallions will be allowed to present themselves to the grading commission in December, and for the first time at the association's premises in Elmshorn. The stallion breeders of the presented horses will also be informed by e-mail about the admission/not admission.
