Friday January 8 started with a number of meetings for the foreign members and boards. RFA delegation submitted a report on the work done and spoke about the problems of Friesian horsebreeders in Russia. These problems are common to countries in which the Friesian breed has appeared recently. Also we have many similar problems with participating countries which are far away from Holland. KFPS representatives have told of most significant news and about new rules of stallion selection. Rigorous selection and inspection had been stiffened. If the offspring turned out to be of not sufficient quality, the stallion will loose it’s stud license.
