A successful second phase of the BWP Stallion Selection 2025 resulted in five stallions who were presented by us being referred to the third phase. They are:

• Willow M (Balou du Reventon x Tangelo van de Zuuthoeve): this stallion's grandmother is the 1.45m mare Demoiselle de la Pomme (by Erco van ‘t Roosakker). It concerns the Qerly Chin damline.
• Walisco de Muze (Carthago x Diamant de Semilly): the half-brother of Vinardo de Muze, already licensed last year. The fourth dam is Kent Farrington's Gazelle (by Kashmir van Schuttershof).
• Wonderboy van de Kruishoeve (Cavalier Russe Z x Mosito van het Hellehof): a stallion from the first crop of Cavalier Russe Z. Mother My Call de Muze Z herself jumps at 1.40m level. It is the line of Call Me de Muze Z (1.55m) and Ratina Gamma Z. Wonderboy was presented by us together with Erik Polfliet.
• Woodstock van de Kruishoeve (Special Star de Corlato x Gino H): a product of the first crop of our young stallion Special Star de Corlato. The third dam is Genève de Muze (by Vigo d'Arsouilles). This is therefore the lineage of Nelke van het Waterschoot. Woodstock was presented by us together with Thomas Polfliet.
• Istanbul MVD (El Torreo de Muze x For Pleasure): a son of El Torreo out of First Call de Muze Z (by For Pleasure). It is again the line of Call Me de Muze Z (1.55m) and Ratina Gamma Z. Istanbul was presented by us together with MVD Stalloni.

We are already looking forward to their performance under saddle.
