Westphalian horse performance testing?

[lvstuart1]

Hello - I am doing a piece of work on the Westphalian sport horse, can anybody tell me what training methods are best for this type of horse and what exactly happens in the performance testing of mares and stallions?
Thanks

Not sure what you mean about training methods as they are all trained according to the german system. Stallions of all studbooks are tested for walk trot and canter, dressage, jumping, ridability with a test rider, and temperament. There are preselections where those considered to be the best are put forward for the training.
