Kjento’s pedigree, type, powerful gaits, and rideability, have captivated breeders since his approval. He was named Champion of his KWPN Stallion Test, earning no score less than 8.5, five scores of 9, and a 9.5 for his canter. He’s finished Reserve Champion at the PAVO Cup Finals, won the World Championships for Young Horses twice, and has been named the KWPN Stallion of the Year. The young stallion is now showing well at the Prix St. Georges/Intermediate level and is training all the Grand Prix work with ease.
Kjento is by the preferent stallion Negro, top sire of FEI Grand Prix horses. Kjento’s dam competed through Z-level Dressage, was 3rd at the National Mare Show at 3-years old, and earned an impressive score of 90 at her IBOP. She has 2 approved sons and 9 Ster/Elite daughters. Her sire was an International Grand Prix competitor and has one of the strongest records in the world for siring FEI offspring.
From Kjento’s earliest foal crops he already has multiple approved sons and elite daughters. With his oldest offspring now 4-years old, we see them winning PAVO Cup Qualifiers and earning top placings at the Bundeschampionate. In North America, Kaliente EMF won the 3-Year Old Materiale Championship at the prestigious Dressage at Devon. Kjento is an excellent choice for improving movement mechanics, impulsion, use of body, and talent for the collected work. His offspring show his beautiful type, good length of leg, expressive gaits, and sensible character.

Breeding Information
Breeding Fees & Contracts
Mare Information
At Hilltop Farm we want to work closely with you and your veterinarian to ensure a successful breeding season and are available for questions at any time. The following information includes some basic suggestions as well as reminders on a few requirements for your breeding contract.
A Breeding Soundness Exam including a uterine culture is recommended, but not required, for all mares prior to breeding. If a mare fails to settle after two breeding cycles, Hilltop Farm will require a culture and cytology to be done at that time prior to any additional shipments of semen. We always recommend your vet checking your mare post-breeding to confirm ovulation. If a mare hangs on to a follicle longer than expected, it can be less expensive to ship additional semen than it would be to breed a second complete cycle. Getting your mare settled in foal is just the beginning. We recommend multiple pregnancy checks to help prevent cases of twins, misdiagnosed pregnancies, or lost time in the breeding season. The following schedule is what we recommend; only the first and fourth checks however are required by your breeding contract.
- 1st check (Required): 14-16 days post ovulation – optimum time for vet to pinch off a twin if more than a single ovulation is noted.
- 2nd check (Recommended): 28 days post ovulation – to confirm a viable pregnancy as the heartbeat normally appears by day 25.
- 3rd check (Recommended): 35-40 days post ovulation – to confirm maintained pregnancy prior to endometrial cup formation. Mares that slip foals early may not come back into heat.
- 4th check (Required): 55-60 days post ovulation – final confirmation of pregnancy in its critical first trimester.
Following your mare’s 14-16 day pregnancy check, please have your vet complete the Mare Breeding Passport received with your semen shipment and return it to Hilltop Farm. Any changes in pregnancy status after the 14-16 day check must be communicated to Hilltop Farm immediately. This Passport is used in all stallion reports to various breed registries and is used to generate a Breeding Certificate so that you can register your foal.
Cooled Semen
Kjento is not available via cooled semen. Please see Frozen Semen for shipping costs and details on Kjento’s frozen semen.
Registration Information
 Your mare’s registration and approval play just as important of a role as the stallion’s approvals when determining registration options for your foal. Please keep in mind that in order to register your foal with a specific association, your mare may first need to be presented to that registry for approval. In addition to the registries a stallion is approved with, there may be additional registration options based on your mare’s eligibility and the stallion’s credentials. If you are confused at all on registration options for a potential foal, please speak with Hilltop Farm and your breed registry PRIOR to booking your breeding.
