OUR HORSES
The Hannoveraner
The Hannoveraner is one of the leading sport horse breeds in
the world. With about 16,000 registered broodmares and 400
stallions, Hannover takes a leading position in the breeding of
horses worldwide, influences many other warmblood breeds
considerably, and is recognized as one of the foundation breeds
of the modern sport horse.
Horses with a Hannoveraner brand create quite a stir in the competition arenas
worldwide. Hannoveraners are Olympic winners, World- and European champions
in dressage, show jumping and eventing and demonstrate their quality and perfor-
mance ability day by day. In the area of recreational riding as well as in the Hunter
sport, Hannoveraners consistently gain in popularity. The Verden auctions are the
breed’s showcase.

since 2015. Genetically the Rhenish riding horse has
been closely related to Hannover from the beginning.
The Rhenish studbook was started in the state of
North Rhine-Westphalia in the 1950’s mainly using
Trakehner, Westphalian (who again are based on Han-
noveraner genes) and Hannoveraner bloodlines.
Famous stallions like Florestan and Belissimo M were/

charge of two studbooks. One for the breed Hanno-
veraner and one for the breed Rheinisches Reitpferd
(Rhenish riding horse).
The regulations of the Rhenish studbook differ from
the Hannoveraner studbook rules with regard to the
requirements for mares and stallions to be entered
in the respective studbook. The Rhenish studbook is
more liberal and accepts mares and stallions of most
major studbooks whereas the Hannoveraner stud-
book as one of the world’s leading studbooks is more
selective. Therefore, cases will occur where it will be
possible to register foals with the Rhenish studbook,
which are by stallions, who are not approved for the
Hannoveraner breeding programme.

THE HANNOVERANER VERBAND
OUR HISTORY
2007, a national recognition took place and the inter-
national expansion was continued. While keeping the
focal point of the breed in Lower Saxony, the activities
of the Verband have been extended all over Germany
and many other countries. The Hannoveraner Verband
has a big fan base all over the world.
Warmblood breeding in the Rhineland region was
started after World War II based on bloodlines from
Hannover, Westphalia and Trakehner. Geographically
the Rhineland is in the very western part of Germany
in direct neighbourhood to The Netherlands, Belgium
and Luxembourg. The biggest equestrian event in the
region is the world famous Aachen horse show.

association. Members are organised in 88 regional
breeders’ clubs. Nine of these clubs – in Canada,
Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Russia, Sweden and
South Africa – are international. In cooperation with
the Hannoveraner Verband, these breeders’ clubs or-
ganise all breeding events, which take place in the
respective country.
Breeders in Australia, Great Britain, New Zealand and
the USA are organised in daughter associations in
their respective country. These associations keep their
own studbooks in close cooperation with the Han-
noveraner Verband. Together with the nine breeders’
clubs, they form the district association Hannoveraner
International. The president of Hannoveraner Interna-
tional is a member of the board of the Hannoveraner
Verband. Depending on size, each association and
club is entitled to send delegates to the delegates’
assembly of the German Hannoveraner Verband.
