KWPN PREDICATE DEFINITIONS
Predicates reflect the various parts of the KWPN breeding goal: performance, conformation, soundness and durability.
Some predicates are earned by the horse itself, others are earned through offspring.
Some predicates are earned at a keuring, others are not.
As of January 1, 2007, studbook inspection and acquisition of the ster, keur, IBOP and sport predicates are only available within a horse's breeding direction.
Ster mares that were previously accepted into the studbook as a Riding type will receive their keur predicate in the breeding direction of their performance test or sport record (Dressage, Jumper or Hunter).
Riding type mares can earn the PROK, preferent and prestatie predicates in the same manner as mares of the dressage/jumper/hunter breeding directions. Earning these predicates does not lead to a change in the breeding direction.
Predicates earned at a keuring (breeding direction specific)
STER An evaluation of mares, geldings and stallions for conformation and functionality combined with movement for dressage types, and free jumping for jumper or hunter types. This predicate is awarded at studbook inspection to stallions, mares and geldings that have earned a first premium. Minimum height for star is 160 cm.
KEUR A predicate for mares that are keur eligible, having a conformation score higher than for ster, and that have completed the performance requirements.
IBOP A predicate for KWPN Foalbook or Studbook, Register A, Auxiliary Foalbook or Studbook horses that successfully complete the riding test. Combined with keur eligibility, this predicate would count toward keur.
Predicates NOT Earned at a Keuring and NOT Specific to Any One Breeding Direction:
PROK Radiographic Evaluation Acceptable levels are:
Navicular Bone Classification 0-1-2
Sesamoids- no requirements
Pastern Arthritis Classification 0-1-2-3
Bone Spavin Classification -01-2
Osteochondrosis in the hock and/or the stifle joint is not permitted Radiographs may be taken any time after September 1 of the 2-year old year
ELITE A predicate awarded to keur mares that have also completd the PROK requirements
PREFERENT A predicate awarded to KWPN Foalbook or Studbook, Register A or B, Auxiliary Foalbook or Studbook mares on the basis of the studbook inspection of three offspring. The mare's offspring must have earned a ster predicate as a riding, dressage, jumper, hunter, gelders or harness type. This predicate may also be awarded posthumously. Each of the offspring must be:
Mare - star, keur or elite
Gelding - ster quality
Stallion - ster, 2nd or 3rd round, selected for performance test, or approved by the KWPN or erkend studbook
PRESTATIE A predicate awarded to KWPN Foalbook, Studbook, Register A or B, Auxiliary Foalbook and Auxiliary Studbook mares that have three offspring earning five points as described below. The predicate may also be awarded posthumously. Performance must be in the breeding direction of the registered offspring (Riding, Dressage, Jumper, Hunter, Gelders or Harness).
Riding, Dressage, Jumper, Hunter or Gelders
IBOP 1995-2006: 45 points for jumping
45 points for dressage, basic gaits minimum of 7
85 points overall, basic gaits minimum of 6
2007: 90 points
Sport Minimum of 1 point at Z level dressage (L2T4 or higher)
Minimum of 5 points at M level jumping or eventing (jumps to 1.20m or 4')
Minimum of 5 points at Second Year Green Hunter (jumps to 3'9¨)
Performance test A son that has totally completed the 1996 or later 70-day test (approval is not necessary)
SPORT A predicate awarded to KWPN Foalbook or Studbook, Register A or B, Auxiliary Foalbook or Studbook mares on the basis of their own performance in sport. Owners can request this predicate by mailing in the horse's registration paper along with proof of sport results required for the predicate. After confirmation of results, new papers and a certificate will be mailed to the owner.
1 point at minimum Z2 dressage (L3T1) or 5 points at Z eventing dressage (Prelim)
CROWN A KWPN-NA performance predicate awarded to stallions, mares and geldings competing at FEI levels. To be considered, horses must be within the 200 top-ranked dressage horses or 400 top-ranked jumping horses in the WBFSH/FEI rankings.
Winning points in sport may be earned as follows:
Jumper/Hunter
Clear round = 2 winning points
One rail down = 1 winning point
Dressage
60% but not more than 65% = 1 winning point
65% but not more than 70% = 2 winning points
70% or more = 3 winning points
