Selection of Breeding Stock...The quality of Holsteiner breeding stock is ensured through the annual Breeding Stock Inspections or 'Keurings'. Horses are evaluated and graded according to quality and to their potential for adding to the breeding pool. |
All adult horses (Mares and Stallions) will be judged by an official Inspection Team. Presentation in hand will be standing, at the walk and at the trot; all gaits will be observed at liberty. Horses will be graded on a scale from 1 to 10 for the following:
Note: Starting in 1999 our bonits represent the following marks (please see this link: Important Info: DNA Typing and New 1999 Bonit System
Note: Horses Approved prior to 1999 have bonits that correspond to the following:
Mares are inspected one time during a keuring, and if of sufficient quality, are entered into one of three studbooks.
Stallions are inspected twice during the keuring. They are shown in hand and at liberty, and in a free jumping exercise. Starting in 1996, Stallions are also expected to perform an under saddle 'dressage' test and 'jumping' test.
For Stallions, inspection prior to entry into the studbook is only the first step before becoming a fully approved stallion. The stallion is expected to demonstrate his athleticism either through a recognized 100 day test or through sport. His offspring are also inspected for quality and genetic defects. Only then is he granted a life-time breeding license.

The Mare Performance Test evaluates rideability, gaits and jumping ability under saddle. In the flat work, the mare must show ability to lengthen in the trot, freedom and regularity of gaits, impulsion, balance and willingness. For jumping under saddle, the mare will be scored on technique, scope and willingness. Mares will not be unduly penalized for "green" mistakes.
No, the Mare Performance Test is only offered at certain sites, based on the response to the Mare Performance Pre-Entry questionnaire that goes out earlier in the year. Check the schedule to see which sites will be holding the Mare Performance Test.
The fee is $50 for those mares already in the Main Mare Premium Book. All others are $100.
Yes. This information can be obtained by contacting the AHHA Central Office.
The following mares passed the Mare Performance Test:
Foals and Yearlings are presented at the Keurings for inspection, and optionally, for branding.. Foals are given two marks from 1-10 for conformation and gaits. They can receive awards of Merit or Premium if judged to be of sufficient quality. (note foal bonits did not change)
There were two mare/foal inspection teams for the 1999 AHHA Approval tour. The Inspection Committee for the first half of the tour consisted of Arlene Rigdon, Joachim Tieck and Marius Carstensen. The Inspection Committee for the second half of the tour was Jos Sevriens, Mr. Klaus Jürgen Gosch, and Mr. Carstensen. All five judges judged at the stallion sites. Traveling with the Committee was Maggie Sjoberg, Chairman of the Breeding and Registration Committee.

If your foal is a Merit Foal this year, you could be a winner! A random drawing will give someone a certificate authorizing a $250.00 discount off the stud fee for participating stallions. (If not breeding in 2000, the certificate is transferable to someone else.)
The 1998 winner of the $250 certificate was: Anna Wintz of Creede Colorado
Premium foals and yearlings will continue to receive a $100.00 cash award. IN ADDITION, for the first foal to receive a score of 9 & 9, there will be a substantial cash award. For every year not awarded, the fund will grow!
