Steffen Peters Shares Secrets for Identifying Superstars...Plus - How Totilas Impacts Modern Breeding, The Road to Grand Prix with Idocus and Other Hot Topics. To help breeders and trainers see the big picture, Cor Loeffen shared his knowledge of the KWPN’s linear scoring method. This scoring assesses factors like the length and angle of bones and joints, which is then backed up with movement and jumping ability. For example, it is common to look at the shoulder angle to predict movement, but Cor explains that the length of the shoulder is more important than the position of the shoulder. And movement is more important than conformation when assessing potential as a riding horse. One extremely valuable session consisted of Steffen Peters and Cor Loeffen together answering questions from the audience. This combined perspective of an Olympic medalist and KWPN judge and Olympic-level trainer provided insights that are not an everyday occurrence. Meeting attendees wanted to know how Steffen selects his horses, which he prefers to do at 6-7 years of age, but he has bought foals, as well young riding horses. Attendees also reviewed the top ten dressage and jumping stallions via video from the 2011 KWPN Stallion Show in the Netherlands. DG Bar Ranch provided the location and many of the horses for assessment during the hands-on portion of the meeting.
