Summary
Hertog Jan showed a collection of foals with little uniformity but more than sufficient harness-type, sufficient development and more than sufficient to good rectangular-shaped conformation.
The front leg shows good scope and action.
The hind leg shows good bend but should generally develop more power and step under the body more.
The foals generally position the neck well in the trot and come back more than sufficiently to good in the front end. The foals need to convince more with respect to body use.

The foals chosen by the registered party were a uniform group which made a positive impression with respect to their topline and hind leg use.
Breeding Recommendation
The foals by Hertog Jan make a positive impression with respect to their "front" and front leg use and their solid and correct legs. Mares bred to Hertog Jan should have a strong topline, good hind leg use and be well developed. Hertog Jan can make a positive contribution to harness horse breeding with respect to blood distribution.

Lineage: (breeding value: SI2 144/17%)
The Cizandro (breeding value: 164/51%) son Hertog Jan was licensed for breeding this year, along with his half-brother Hiro T. They are two of Cizandro's three approved sons. The other, Globetrotter, was licensed by the KWPN-NA in 2014. Cizandro boasts an impressive list of achievements in harness. In 2015, he will compete at the highest level for the first time, the honor class. In addition, he is excelling through his offspring. Last year at the inspections, a high percentage of his offspring received the ster predicate, and his two-year-old daughter Holette won National Mare Inspection champion at the National Harness Horse Day event. Hertog Jan's dam, the keur mare Zidane Woodbridge (s.Talos), boasts seven registered offspring. This half-Hackney mare scored 78 points in the IBOP. She is out of the large Hackney mare, Lion’s Dana International (s.Plain’s Superstition). Zidane Woodbridge is a full-sister to the selected stallion Action Woodbridge (a.k.a. Amadeus), who competed on the international four-in-hand team of Hungary's József Dobrovitz. At the 2014 World Championships, he placed 7th individually and 3rd with the team.
