The American Hanoverian Society, Inc. (AHS) was incorporated in 1978 to establish, maintain and operate a non-profit association of breeders, owners and friends for the promotion and preservation of the warmblooded Hanoverian horse on the North American continent; to maintain a public registry of Hanoverian horses; to mark or brand approved stallions, mares and foals with the Society’s registered brand; to disseminate information to breeders, owners and friends pertaining to the breeding and raising of Hanoverian horses; to promote the performance of the Hanoverian horse in dressage, eventing, hunting, jumping and driving; and generally to do all things appropriate to encourage a public understanding of the Hanoverian horse, its breeding and performance. What began in 1978 with only 40 members has grown since that time to become an internationally recognized organization.

The breeding rules and standards of the AHS are consistent with those of the Verband hannoverscher Warmblutzuchter, e.V. (HV), the German Hanoverian breeding association. The AHS invites representatives of the HV to the annual inspection tour and to all board meetings and annual meetings to help maintain the continuity of the breeding program.

Posted 84 days ago

Description:
Esmeralda is a long-legged filly that should mature into a good-sized, impressive mare. With her scopey potential, already apparent presence, and her good movement, she should be suitable for ANY discipline. She possesses a really nice, well-grounded temperament that makes her very easy to work around. Already we have introduced her to a “mini free jumping session” (over 1 pole and then a small vertical) and she was completely unfazed, not only being totally willing but already revealing good form over fences!Her sire, Earl, was successful at his performance test, especially with his rideability and his willingness to work. He impressed because of his marvelous topline, his well-shaped, correct and harmonious riding horse conformation and his perfect character. He received a 9 for his walk, an 8 for his trot, 8.5 for his canter and a 9 for his willingness to work at his stallion licensing. Earl's sire, Escudo I, is known for his jumping ability and beautiful elastic gaits, in addition to stunning black color. Lanthan on the dam's side produces foals with beautiful conformation, as well as athletic jumping and dressage ability.Esmeralda's dam, Fiona, is by the Windswept bred Stallion Faberge (Reg. Federalist), the son of…

2001 Wolkenstein II mare

Description: Wisteria is a beautiful bay Hanoverian mare looking to change her career. Although she has been ridden by her amateur owner for the past six years, we think she would be best suited to a life of babies. In 2005 Wisteria had a filly by Dauphin and she found the experience wonderful! She had a stellar pregnancy and sneakily foaled in her field. Her skills as a mother were a lovely balance between caring and rule setting; giving her filly a super start in life. Wisteria has fabulous conformation...
