Preparing your horse optimally

What does “preparing for inspection” mean?

Preparing your horse for inspection means that we get your horse in optimal condition for presentation at an official inspection organized by the Royal Friesian Horse Studbook (KFPS). During this inspection, a jury evaluates your horse and assigns a score that may lead to a premium or a higher classification.

Our guidance focuses on improving your horse’s presentation, condition, and posture. We ensure that your horse appears in top shape and is shown to its best advantage.

How Do We Prepare Your Horse for Inspection?

At De Nieuwe Heuvel, we offer comprehensive guidance to get both Friesian stallions and mares inspection-ready. We create a tailored training plan that takes the specific needs of your horse into account. Our approach includes:

  • Individual training: Focused on posture, movement, and muscle development.

  • Lunge line training: For optimal balance and muscle conditioning.

  • Hand-walking exercises: Refining gaits and overall presentation.

  • Nutrition plan: Customized to support muscle growth and overall fitness.

  • Mock inspections: Weekly trial inspections to evaluate progress. These simulate the actual inspection to identify any adjustments needed.

  • Honest evaluation: We provide continuous feedback on your horse’s progress, with open consultation at every step.

Combination with training under saddle or in harness

It is possible to combine preparing your horse for the inspection with training under saddle or in harness. This usually requires a few extra weeks to ensure both disciplines are optimally developed. During this period, your horse remains with us to receive the best possible training.
