2024 Hanoverian and Rhineland Activation Form

Last year, the Society introduced an entirely new format for the 2023 edition of the Stallion Directory. We continue to make enhancements to better showcase your stallions, so this year, we are requesting that you complete an online form so we have the most current information for your stallion(s). The link to the questionnaire is here and should take less than 5 minutes to complete: stallion questionnaire. Having this information allows us to present your stallion in the best possible fashion.

Both the above questionnaire and the activation form below must be submitted for your stallion by Oct. 31, 2023. Stallions activated by this date will receive a full color page in the 2024 Stallion Directory. Stallions activated after this date will be listed online only.

Dressage Bloodlines with Dr. Ludwig Christmann

In this episode, we focus on the stallion lines of Ladykiller xx, Sacramento Song xx, and Furioso II. The lines of Ladykiller xx and Sacramento Song xx are jumper lines of Holsteiner origin. The Ladykiller xx line had a very successful dressage branch with Lord Loxley, Krack C, and Vivaldi. The line of Sacramento Song xx, another jumper line was made popular with dressage breeders through Sandro Hit. The line of Furioso II was a dressage line of Selle Francais origin, which has developed into the most influential line of modern sport horse breeding with sires like Florestan.

2023 Gold Medal Foals

The Gold Medal Foal program is offered by Hannoveraner International, the organization for Hanoverian societies outside of Germany. This is an independent international award for high-quality foals. To be eligible for a Gold Medal, foals with a dressage pedigree require an unofficial score of 8.0 or higher when judged on type, conformation and basic gaits. Additionally, foals with a jumping pedigree require an unofficial score of 7.5 or higher when judged on type, conformation, basic gaits and quality of pedigree. The Gold Medal Foal program is not a foal competition. Judges will internally score foals at the inspection to determine top dressage foals and jumping foals, but those scores will not be recorded or given to foal owners.

Recognize your Gold Medal Foal in the annual Awards Magazine.

We want to recognize all our Gold Medal foals by featuring them in the awards magazine. Send a digital high-resolution (minimum of 900 x 1200 pixels) digital photo in *tif, *eps, or *jpg format to . All professional photos must include the photographer's name and a release for publication.

2023 AHS Futurity Results

The AHS is pleased to announce the final standings of the tenth annual $3,000 AHS YEARLING AND TWO-YEAR-OLD FUTURITY held during the 2023 inspection tour. The Futurity is open to AHS-registered, HV-registered, ARS-registered, RV-registered, and AHS Certificate of Pedigree yearling colts/geldings and fillies and two-year-old colts/geldings and fillies (four classes total). It is judged using a scale from 1-10 with three categories: Conformation/Type, Movement, and Foundation/Legs. Scores will be announced following each horse’s presentation. A certificate, including scores, will be sent to each participant from the AHS Office. Champion and Reserve Champion ribbons are awarded in each of the four classes. Horses are shown on the triangle; yearlings are shown in a halter, while two-year-olds are shown in a bridle. They may not be turned loose, but a second round is permitted if necessary.

Scores will be tabulated from every Futurity class and $3,000 will be split between the top five yearlings and top five two-year-olds in the country. Warmblood Stallions of North America is our generous sponsor for the 2023 AHS Yearling & Two-Year Old National Futurity. Thank you WSNA!
