All mares intended for breeding have to be registered with the corresponding sections of the Hanoverian or Rhineland Studbook. The entry into the studbook is the basis for breeding.
Trot, walk and the mare’s conformation are assessed during the studbook inspection. Additionally, jumping mares can be evaluated in free jumping. Mares of other riding horse breeds can also be entered in the Hanoverian Studbook. Studbook inspections take place during mare performance tests, mare shows, appointments at home or via video inspection. The appointments are offered throughout Germany and in many countries worldwide.
If the mare is already registered as a broodmare with another society, the entry as well as the existing premium titles can be taken over under certain conditions.
The Hanoverian Society is also active abroad. In addition to the EU member states Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden, the Hanoverian Society also conducts its breeding program in the contracting states Switzerland and Norway and the third country states Russia, Canada, South Africa and Ukraine. Foal registrations and studbook inspections are possible in the listed countries.
For most countries there are scheduled events and registration trips (listed below). Appointments in other countries are possible, please contact Bo Eitenmüller (Tel.: +49 (0)4231-673744, E-Mail: beitenmüller@hannoveraner.com).
Registrations for the dates should be made four weeks in advance to the listed contact addresses, preferably by e-mail.
The mares are presented to the judges in-hand while standing (conformation evaluation), on the triangle in trot (evaluation of trot and correctness of the gait) and in a small group while walking (evaluation of the walk). On recommendation of the Board, the mares may additionally be shown on hard ground (judging correctness of the limbs), and judged in free-running (evaluation oh canter). After the walk presentation, the inspection result will be announced.
Here are our recommendations for a smooth performance: We suggest practicing standing for the conformation evaluation and presenting the mare in trot and walk beforehand. In order to allow the mare to show her qualities in both gaits in the best possible way, she should move as independently as possible from the handler, who sometimes has to run fast next to her. It goes without saying that the mare has to be in a perfect feeding condition with shiny coat which reveals an excellent general condition and state of health, as well as well-maintained hooves. It is also a common practice to have the mare’s mane plaited. Before the mare is presented, please contact the officials at the inspection location who are responsible for the schedule.
For entry into the Main Studbook or the Studbook, there are certain conditions when it comes to pedigree, conformation and basic gaits. There are two different divisions of the studbook:
The Studbook Inspection Commission awards scores from 1 (very bad) to 10 (excellent). Only whole scores are given. The total score is based on the individual scores for the conformation.
The following criteria are evaluated:
These criteria are combined in a score “quality conformation”. However, this does not have to be the arithmetical mean of the individual scores mentioned above, as the individual criteria can be weighted differently.
From the scores for
The scores for breed and sex type result in the “total score”, which is the average of these scores and rounded up or down to a whole score. The exhibitor receives the individual scores following the studbook inspection when he receives the horse passport.
