Hannoveraner Jumper Breeding Program (PHS)

In 1993, the Hannoveraner Jumping Breeding Program (Programm Hannoveraner Springpferdezucht - PHS) was initiated. The aim of this breeding program is to give new impetus to the breeding of show jumping horses. Part oft the Hannoveraner population is specifically geared towards the breeding of exzellent show jumpers. It was updated in 2023. A system of awarding stars * to mares was introduced.

The free jumping competitions of the Hannoveraner Jumper Breeding Program in March have been showcases for three- and four-year old talents since 1997. Numerous careers have already begun in the Niedersachsenhalle in Verden. Since 2024, only three-year-olds are presented in the free jumping. The four-year-olds show their talents under the rider.

 

 

Selection Criteria for mares

In principle, every mare registered in a section of the Hannoveraner Stud Book that has four generations of jumping pedigree is marked with the PHS symbol without *.

Marking with a star * is done on the basis of the mare's own performance in the mare performance test or at the sport test.

  • An score for free jumping (average of technique, scope and jumping intelligence) of 8.5 or better as well as a breeding value for jumping, based on the evaluations in the mare performance test, of at least 125 points is required. If both parents were registered in the show jumping programme, then no requirements are made regarding the breeding value apart from the free jumping score of at least 8.5.
  • A jumping score of 8.0 or better in the Hannoveraner Sport Test Jumping.
  • A placing in the Verden Free Jumping Competition in 1st to 3rd place.
