North American Hanoverian
Jumper Breeding Program Approved Mares |
For complete information and a list of JBP approved stallions, please visit the Jumper Breeding Program links above.
The JBP committee has also adopted similar criteria to that used by the PHS for selecting the mares for the program. In order to be selected for the program, mares must have an appropriate jumping pedigree and must meet one or more of the following criteria:
A jumping score of at least 8.0 in a performance test;
A breed value index of at least 125;
A successful competition record in show jumping at USEF levels 7/8 or the Equine Canada equivalent (5 times in 1st to 3rd place); qualification for World Breeding Championships for Young Jumpers or Bundeschampionate in Germany; or
The mare must have two (2) offspring with successful competition records, one with placings 1st to 5th in USEF levels 7/8 (or Equine Canada equivalent), and one with at least one placing 1st to 5th in USEF level 8/9 (or Equine Canada equivalent). These offspring must have registration papers from a member organization of the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses. Close relatives (eg. full or half siblings from the same dam with successful show jumping competition records as above) |
Because the committee does not have access to competition records of many of these mares or their offspring, we relied primarily on the MPT data and competition records previously submitted to the AHS office. The committee recognizes that there may be mares not on this initial list that have successful competition records, offspring with successful competition records, or other factors that have been overlooked or not considered. For example, some imported mares may not be listed because, in some instances, the AHS office does not have complete MPT data for these mares. Owners of mares not otherwise included in this initial list are encouraged to provide the committee with the appropriate additional information so that the mare may be considered for the program.
In addition to mares previously selected for the PHS, the current list of AHS and Canadian mares selected for the program is set forth below.
Going Forward:
To further encourage participation of jumper mares in the breeding program, in 2009 the AHS board of directors approved a modification to the scoring system whereby a mare that meets the other requirements for Elite eligibility but does not score an overall 7.0 on inspection (42 points) or a non-Hanoverian mare that does not obtain the necessary overall 7.0 or better for entry into the studbooks may have her free jumping score added to the overall inspection score and the resulting total divided by 7 (instead of 6). If this new total is 7.0 or better that result would count towards Elite eligibility (in the case of eligible Hanoverian mares) or Main Studbook acceptance (in the case of non-Hanoverian mares).
