Young Stallion Licensing in February
Young Stallion licensing in February
The 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 April and latest also in November, older stallions are admitted, as well.
In fall the registration period for the pre-selection of young stallions begins, the colts are presented for pre-selection to the stallion grading held at Neumünster in February. There is no pre-selection for the Elmshorn grading sites. At least three members of the grading committee judge the colts at the pre-selection and the grading. In order to succeed at the stallion grading, they have to convince the panel in terms of conformation, movement and jumping ability.
To register for the preselection of young stallions, a written application must be submitted to the Kiel Breeding Office for the licensing event in early February.

Do not submit any registration papers/equine passports yet!
In case you wish to enter several colts, use a separate form for each horse (print copies or request additional forms from the Kiel office).
IMPORTANT: Your information will be used when compiling the stallion grading catalogue later. The application form must be completed in full and submitted to the Holsteiner Verband Kiel office.
Colts are pre-selected from 21 - 25 November 2022 at Elmshorn. The stallion producers will be given the exact date when calling in to confirm the entry.
The application fee per colt is € 100 for Holsteiner Verband members and € 200 for non-members. Applications submitted after the due date incur a € 50 late fee per colt.

Please take care to observe this rule!
Pre-selection schedule:
- in-hand presentation (bridled) on hard surface
- presentation at liberty and free-jumping (indoor arena)
- After the pre-selection, the stallion producers will be sent a decision letter. Then the auction conditions have to be agreed upon, as well.

HENGSTE
Einschätzung der Vererbung eines Hengstes
Zur Einschätzung der Vererbung eines Hengstes werden jährlich die Ergebnisse der aktuellen Zuchtwertschätzung veröffentlicht.
Zum Ende jedes Zuchtjahres erhält jeder Züchter die Zuchtwerte seiner Zuchtpferde (Hengste und Stuten) mit der Bestandsmeldung.
Der Zuchtwert gibt Auskunft über die genetische Veranlagung eines Pferdes, die nicht direkt an der beobachteten Leistung zu erkennen ist. Bei der Zuchtwertschätzung werden umweltbedingte Einflüsse wie zum Beispiel das Alter des Pferdes, die Qualität des Reiters und des Trainings von der genetischen Veranlagung getrennt. Die Genauigkeit der Zuchtwertschätzung gibt Auskunft über die Sicherheit des Zuchtwertes und wird prozentual angegeben.
