The event, an annual tradition with deep roots in Friesian culture, is a formal inspection and evalua- tion of Friesian horses. (The word “Keuring” itself derives from the Dutch, meaning “inspection” or


“assessment”.) The Friesian Horse, renowned for its striking black coat, luxurious mane and tail, and graceful yet powerful movement, is a captivating breed that descended from horses bred in Friesland, the northern province of the Netherlands, Friesians are celebrated for their elegance, versatility, and gentle disposition. The upcoming Keuring is more than a competition — it is a celebration of tradition and the meticulous care that breeders devote to preserving and advanc- ing the Friesian bloodline. This prestigious occasion not only showcases the magnificent Friesian breed, but also serves as a testament to centuries of heri- tage, selective breeding, and the enduring passion that defines the equestrian community. It is an opportunity for participants to receive feedback on their breeding programs, to have their horses officially registered, and for young horses to gain recognition that can shape their future in sport and breeding. This year’s Keuring promises a diverse program, including foal inspections, mare, stallion and gelding assessments, and a ridden and driven evaluation. Adult horses will be judged for registration, promotion, and possible inclusion in breeding programs. The public is invited.
