The BWP E- crop (Emerald van ‘t Ruytershof, Eldorado van de Zeshoek, Elvis ter Putte etc.) is a special one. We already knew that. Now it seems that the N-crop is going in the same successful direction and that did not pass unnoticed. Both the Belgian and the Dutch hippic press wrote about that particular item.
Which horses are involved? Even more remarkable, it concerns, among others, the top three of the BWP Stallion Approval 2016. Nixon van ‘t Meulenhof (third at the champions crowning then), started with Harry Smolders his 4* competitions in Salzburg (1.45m) and finished several rounds without faults. Navajo van ‘t Vianahof (vice champion in 2016) jumped to a fourth place in Oliva under Koen Vereecke. The victory there went to Jérome Guéry with Nestor de Mariposa, a stallion that was approved for BWP in the same year. He jumped to a victory in a 1.35m class.
And then there was the champion stallion of 2016 : Naxcel V. He won a 1.45m class with the Austrian rider Gerfried Puck.
All that is very promising. You find the data of those stallions here:
