Studbook Holstein Global
NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL BREEDERS WITH THEIR NON-HOLSTEINER MARES OR STALLIONS
With the studbook Holstein Global the Holsteiner Verband has extended the range of the breeding program to allow breeders with outside-blood horses access to Holsteiner breeding.
The new studbook Holstein Global is on a par with the traditional Holsteiner studbook, so non-Holsteiner mares as well as stallions and their offspring may be bred within the Holsteiner breeding program in various combinations.
At a Glance:
Improvement breed mare (mare book Holstein Global) x Holstein registered stallion (stallion book I)

Mares as well as stallions from breeds listed as eligible for improvement and refinement purposes in the Holsteiner Verband breeding program can be registered into the Holsteiner Verband studbook and their offspring can participate in the Holsteiner breeding program.
MARE BOOK HOLSTEIN GLOBAL
Mares registered with a WBFSH affiliated breed society and from a breed listed as eligible for improvement and refinement purposes in the breeding program of the Holsteiner Verband can be presented for registration into the mare book Holstein Global at various inspection and registration sites in Schleswig-Holstein, across Germany, and abroad.
OFFSPRING PRODUCED BY THESE MARES
The produce of these mares – the next generation – will then be registered into the Holsteiner Verband foal book, provided that the foals are by a stallion listed in the Holsteiner Verband stallion book I. These foals are issued Holsteiner registration papers. Female foals registered in this way are eligible for registration into mare book I at three-year-old, while colts may be presented for stallion grading.
STALLION BOOK HOLSTEIN GLOBAL
Upon application, any at least three-year-old stallion may be registered into the Holsteiner Verband stallion book Holstein Global provided that he has been approved by and is registered with a WBFSH affiliated breed society, is from a breed listed as eligible for improvement and refinement purposes in the breeding programme of the Holsteiner Verband and can provide age-appropriate stallion performance testing results.
OFFSPRING SIRED BY THESE STALLIONS
Any offspring sired by these stallions is registered in the Holsteiner Verband foal book and issued Holsteiner registration papers, provided that the foal is out of a dam registered into the Holsteiner mare book I. Just as with the mares, female and male offspring are eligible to participate in the Holsteiner Verband breeding program.
