2026 keuring: two-peat plus
On August 31, 2026, we brought five young mares to Alberta’s KWPN-NA keuring. Hosted by Elysian Farms, the Alberta keuring was one of 16 inspections that took place in Canada and the United States over nine days. In total across the keurings, Dutch inspectors systematically evaluated hundreds of KWPN riding and gelders horses, and scored performance competitions including the GES Cup (KWPN-NA’s annual jumping competition for 3- to 8-year-old horses, sponsored by Global Equine Sires).
Breeders bring their best young horses to these inspections, and we’re proud of the horses we entered this year. Here’s our 2026 highlights.
