The KWPN is going to collaborate with the makers of Quick Knot®

Quick Knot® at KWPN

From inspections and performance tests to presentations and auctions, the KWPN presents some of the Netherlands' most promising sport horses.

With many horses to prepare and presentation playing an important role, braiding needs to be professional, consistent and efficient.

From a simple conversation at a Foal Inspection

Our relationship with KWPN started quite naturally.

In 2021, we were present at a KWPN foal inspection with HES-TEC. After the inspection, I got into a conversation with someone from the organization. We talked about Quick Knot®, why we developed it and the simple frustration that started it all: why were we still using a needle and thread to secure braids?

The conversation continued on the terrace, where I had the opportunity to explain the product and our story in more detail.

That first conversation eventually led to Quick Knot® Deluxe being used within KWPN.

Why Quick Knot® works for KWPN

KWPN organizes many inspections, presentations and auctions throughout the year. Horses need to be presented professionally, often with many horses being prepared in a relatively short period of time.

That is where the practical advantages of Quick Knot® Deluxe became relevant.

Instead of sewing each rolled braid into place with needle and thread, Quick Knot® allows the braid to be secured and removed much more simply.

For us, seeing the product being used in exactly the kind of environment it was originally designed for is something special.

About KWPN

KWPN, the Royal Warmblood Studbook of the Netherlands, is one of the world's leading sport horse studbooks.

Based in the Netherlands, the organization is closely connected to the breeding and development of dressage and show jumping horses and organizes inspections, performance tests, auctions and presentations throughout the year.

As a Dutch company with our own roots in equestrian sport, working with an organization like KWPN feels particularly close to home.
