The KFPS recently announced a number of ‘firsts’ in the awarding of the Sport predicate.
In June it was announced that Poland had gained its first Sport predicate, awarded to the Star mare Eefke van de Beeldhoeve (Tsjerk 328P Sport x Jakob 302 Sport), owned by Joanna Frycze. Eefke has been competing in dressage with rider Aleksandra Szulc, and “achieved the level of N8 and N9 + 5 x > 60%.” Congratulations to everyone at farm Z Tartaku and the Polish association Zwiazek Hodowców Koni Fryzyjskich w Polsce!
