64 stallion candidates for the Selection Show 2022 !
The official SBS stallion expertise, better known as the International Selection Show, will take place on the 5th and 6th of March in Gesves (Belgium). After the canceling of the 2021 edition, this key event for breeders reached a record number of entries this year: 64 stallion candidates will be presented to the jury, divided into three categories, Jumping, Dressage, Driving. This edition will be held behind closed doors but will be broadcasted live on our website and on ClipMyHorse.
When preparing the International Selection Show 2022, the SBS Studbook was not aware yet of the sanitary conditions that would be in order on the 5th and 6th March. Hence, to limit the number of people present at the same time at the Provincial Breeding and Horse Riding school of Gesves, it has been decided that the event would be held behind closed doors (without audience) and that the breeders would show their stallions by appointment. Only stallion presenters and their accompaniers will be admitted, called according to a schedule. All precautions have also been taken with regards to equine rhinopneumonitis (mandatory vaccination). The whole event, as well as the proclamation of the new approved stallions, will be broadcasted live on our website www.sbsnet.be, on our Facebook page and on www.clipmyhorse.be
Despite the unpredictable evolution of the sanitary norms, the preparatory work for the International Selection Show 2022 - veterinary examinations at the Equine Clinic of the University of Liège and the Veterinary Faculty of the University of Ghent, the selection of the Inter-Faculty Veterinary Commission and the SBS Judges' Commission - was carried out with the same rigor.
The 2021 expertise having been cancelled; the International Selection Show 2022 will allow to discover an exclusive collection gathering two successive generations of stallion candidates. The list with the 64 candidates will be published in the central pages of our bimonthly “The Belgian Sport Horse” on the 1st March 2022, and a QR code displayed next to each stallion will allow free access to the digital catalog, more complete. This digital catalog will also be available in its entirety on our website www.sbsnet.be
We can be optimistic: the list of stallion candidate, with prestigious origins, is of very high quality. The discipline of Dressage is well represented and for the first time, we have the pleasure to welcome a candidate in Driving!
