Each breeding district of the Holsteiner Verband maintains a board of four members: 

• a president,

• a vice president,

• a treasurer

• a secretary.

​​

In addition to the board, each district has a minimum of three voting delegates, with more allowed based on the number of active mares within the district.

​

Each Holsteiner breeding district holds a general assembly at least once a year. The breeding district assembly deals with the following matters:

• Election of the breeding district board (chairperson, deputy chairperson, secretary and treasurer)

• Election of Holsteiner Verband delegates according to the Verband rules and bylaws

• Discussion of Holsteiner Verband topical matters and affairs

• Discussion of breeding district matters and affairs

​

Elections are held every four years.

​

The delegates elected by the breeding districts meet at the Assembly of Delegates twice a year.
