The Mare Performance Test is an invaluable aid to assess the rideability of mares and determine whether their talent lies in jumping or dressage. The results of the test provide key evidence so informed breeding decisions can be made and the very best mares can be bestowed the honor of Hanoverian Premium Mare status. The AHS has seen a significant rise in the number of mares completing the MPT in recent years. Most sites now offer the MPT and in 2019 a total of 37 mares participated, resulting in three new Hanoverian Premium Mare and 25 Hanoverian Premium Mare Candidates.
Below are the top MPT mares of 2019. If you are the owner/breeder of a top MPT mare on the 2019 tour and the mare is not listed below please send a photo to .
