Breeding and Insemination Conditions*
Our breeding station is recognized as an insemination station according to EU guidelines. All mare owners using our stallions accept the following conditions. Additionally, the breeding and insemination conditions of the Hanoverian Verband apply.
Stallion Registration & Foal Certification
- Stallions, especially young stallions in their first breeding season, will only be entered into Stallion Book I after successfully completing their stallion performance test (HLP).
- Only then can full foal registration take place.
- If a stallion fails to qualify for Stallion Book I, the breeding association will only issue a birth certificate. The breeder bears this risk exclusively.

Veterinary Care & Insemination
