Holsteiner Stallions

Stallions

Stallion Licensing

The licensing is the most important selection step for young stallions.

 The colts are stallion graded either in-hand at two-and-a-half years or under the rider at 3-yr-old and older (April grading).

The autumn grading of the colts is the breeding year’s major event. In Holstein, this event has been held at the Neumünster Holstenhalls for well above 30 years. At the Elmshorn grading sites held in January and April, older stallions are admitted, as well.

Stallions

Stallion Performance Test

At the grading, the stallions are primarily judged for conformation and structure.

The evaluation of the free jumping provides the only information on own performance. Stallion performance testing is the first official assessment of own performance. The stallion performance test system has been thoroughly reformed in 2016. The test may be completed on station (50-day test) or by combining 14-day on-station testing and competition tests.

Stallions

Stallion Book Registration

A stallion successfully completing the selection levels stallion grading and performance testing is listed in the stallion book I.

Outcross stallions considered to hold exceptional value for the Holsteiner breeding programme can be listed in the stallion book I if they fulfil the requirements stipulated by the Holsteiner Verband articles.

In Neumünster on 24 May 2017 during their meeting the delegates agreed to the statute changes that will allow to establish the new studbook called Holstein Global.

You will find the details of the stallion book entry in §31 of the statutes

Breeding Value Evaluation

Every year, in order to estimate a stallion’s potential as a sire, the results of the current breeding value evaluation are published.

At the end of every breeding year each breeder is issued his breeding stock’s breeding values (stallions and mares) along with the Activated Breeding Stock Report.
