Horses are judged at an inspection, or keuring, by Dutch judges, who decide whether the horse is worthy of breeding. [27] [28] There are multiple registries within KFPS. The two main registries are the studbook for approved stallions, and the foalbook for horses from the mating of an approved stallion and a mare in the foalbook. [25]
Today there are 20 approved stallions and 160 broodmares in the northern population of heavy warmbloods. They are bred with a pure-breeding scheme, using Ostfriesen/Alt-Oldenburg, Groningen, Saxony-Thuringian Heavy Warmbloods, and Silesian Heavy Warmbloods. The goal is a versatile, correct and balanced horse with a calm temperament.

Until the 17th century, horses in the region of Oldenburg were likely small and plain, but strong enough to be used to work the heavy soil of the Frisian coast. These horses would become the foundation of the Oldenburg's neighbors from Holstein to Groningen. One of the first to take a vested interest in organized horse breeding was Count Johann ...
At the age of three, the Friesian Arabian must measure over 1.52 m, with a minimum height of 1.58 m required for stallions. [9] As an adult, the minimum height required is 1.55 m, and 1.60 m for stallions. [9] As with the Friesian, black is the only coat permitted, though unlicensed gray Arabo-Friesians also exist. [1]
However, there is uncertainty over whether an F2 horse - produced by a Warlander-Warlander, Warlander-Andalusian, or Warlander-Friesian pairing - would be likely to suffer from genetic atavism. [8] The statistically tiny number of F2 and subsequent generation Warlander horses bred internationally has meant empirical resolution of this question ...
The Baroque Pinto studbook also owes its foundation to the 2003 Grand Prix dressage black pinto-colored Friesian-cross-Dutch Warmblood stallion Willem van Nassau, [18] [unreliable source] who is out of the 1997 skewbald Dutch Warmblood mare Pepper, and stands at about 16.1 hands (65 inches, 165 cm); the main line introduced to maintain color in ...
