Bella Luna Makes 2009 KWPN-NA TOP FIVE

We just received official notification that Bella Luna (Ikoon x Uganda M by Wolfgang) placed 3rd overall in the ISF Cup for Three Year Old Jumpers in North America during the KWPN-NA Tour. Congratulations Bella!

From the KWPN:

With the onset of specialization the Top Ten was changed to the Top Fives and contains the top results in each of the five Breeding Directions: Dressage, Jumper, Hunter, Gelders and Harness. To qualify for the Top Fives, horses must earn a First Premium or Star rating in the inspection classes, or a passing score in the IBOP classes.

This means that horses with Register A papers being inspected for studbook are not eligible for inclusion in the Top Fives unless all requirements have been met.

Placement of mares, geldings and stallions is based on: a) on overall Linear score (Conformation and Movement/Jumping) and b) on the score for movement or jumping.
