This year, the European Championships take place in Gothenburg, Sweden. In cooperation with the European Equestrian Federation (EEF) and the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses (WBFSH), the Swedish Equestrian Federation (SvRF) hosts a day of seminars on the subject of the welfare of the horse.

In Neumünster on 24 May during their meeting the delegates agreed to the statute changes that will allow to establish the new studbook called Holstein Global

Studbook Zangersheide vzw has a new chairman. At the General Meeting of 27 April Judy Ann Melchior was unanimously elected new chairwoman of the studbook

Our studbook members know that before the opportunity to work in collaboration with the FEI presented itself, the WBFSH was in negotiations with the platform Hippomundo for a possible cooperation. Not due to any short-comings of Hippomundo, this cooperation did not succeed. 

Definition.

Time and again disputes occur as to who the rightful breeder of a horse is. Often these disputes do not arise at the time the foal is registered with a studbook, but when said foal has grown into an athlete that competes and performs successfully at top level.

In the world-wide WHIRDEC cooperation meetings initiated by the WBFSH a common goal has been to maintain the UELN as the valid system of horse registration numbers. Please find below the WBFSH statement on UELN from March 2017.

The much-coveted title, Stallion of the Year was awarded to the Belgian born show jumping stallion and elite stallion, Favorit Ask at the Danish Warmblood stallion licensing in Herning

Watching the final ring at the approval of the 4-year-old and older stallions gave a clear picture that the cream had been skimmed. The stallions were not big in numbers but the quality was exquisite

Her Royal Highness Princess Benedikte’s Challenge Trophy was awarded to the The Danish Warmblood stallion Sezuan this year. The stallion’s German owners had come all the way to Herning to receive this special award

The Danish Warmblood collection of 30 young stallions approved for testing consists of 12 show jumping and 18 dressage colts
