Photo Above: One of the stallions chosen for the Jumper Breeding Program is ES Prinz Gaylord, who not only had a pedigree filled with jumping talent, but was himself a successful competitor through the Grand Prix level and had sired numerous offspring who have done the same.

Jumper Breeding Program Approved Stallions
For complete information and a list of JBP approved mares, please visit the Jumper Breeding Program links above.
The criteria used by the PHS for selecting the stallions has been adopted for the Jumper Breeding Program. In addition to having an appropriate jumping pedigree, a stallion must meet one or more of the following criteria:
A score of at least 125 in the jumping index of the stallion performance test;
A jumping score of 8.5 in the stallion performance test;
A successful competition record, examples of which include placings in show jumping at USEF levels 8/9 (5 times in 1st to 3rd place) or Equine Canada equivalent; participation at international levels of competition or qualification for World Breeding Championships for Young Jumpers or the Bundeschampionate in Germany;
Offspring with successful competition records; or
A breeding value for jumping of at least 120. By way of example, the stallion’s success in USEF level 8/9 jumping competitions, experience at international levels of competition, or qualification to participate in the World Championships for young show jumpers or the offspring’s successes at USEF level 7/8 jumping competitions would be factors considered in favor of including a stallion in the program. Successes in hunter competitions, however, will not be considered.
Because competition records are not readily available in the U.S., the committee relied primarily on stallion performance tests and breeding values for this initial list of stallions. The committee encourages owners of stallions not otherwise included in this initial list to provide us with the competition records of their stallion or his offspring. These records will be evaluated, and if sufficient, may include the stallion in the program. In addition to the stallions already selected for the PHS, the initial list of North American stallions selected for the program is set forth above.
