The Jumper Breeding Program is intended to promote the breeding of high quality Hanoverian show jumping horses in North America. It is based in part on the successful experience of the Programm Hannoveraner Springpferdezucht (PHS) in Germany.
In 2005, The AhS eSTAbliShed The norTh AmericAn Jumper breeding progrAm (Jbp), which is based in part on the successful experience of the Programm Hannoveraner Springpferdezucht (PHS) established in 1993 in Germany. A cooperative effort between the AHS and the two regional Hanoverian breeding clubs in Canada, the Jumper Breeding Program is intended to promote the breeding of high quality Hanoverian show jumping horses in North America. To be selected for the program, mares and stallions must have both an appropriate jumping pedigree and demonstrated jumping ability or offspring with demonstrated jumping ability.
Stallion Criteria The criteria used by the PHS for selecting the stallions has been adopted for the North American program. In addition to having an appropriate jumping pedigree, a stallion must meet one or more of the following criteria: A jumping index of at least 125 in the Stallion
Performance Test. A jumping score of 8.5 or higher in the
Stallion Performance Test. A successful competition record, examples of which include placings in show jumping at USEF 1.40m or above (five times in first to third place) or Equine Canada equivalent; participation at international levels of competition or qualification for the World Breeding
Championships for Young Jumpers or the
Bundeschampionat in Germany. Offspring with successful competition records at the USEF 1.40m or above or
CEF equivalent. A jumping breeding value of at least 120.
Because competition records are not readily available in the U.S., the committee relies primarily on stallion performance tests and breeding values for acceptance into the JBP. The committee encourages owners of stallions not otherwise included to provide the committee with the competition records of their stallion or his offspring. These records will be evaluated, and if sufficient, may permit the inclusion of the stallion in the program. In addition to the stallions already selected for the PHS, the current list of activated North American stallions selected for the program is set forth on the following page, and stallions in this directory have the appropriate JBP logo on their individual page.
Mare Criteria The JBP committee has also adopted similar criteria to that used by the PHS for selecting the mares for the program. Mares must have an appropriate jumping pedigree and must meet one or more of the following criteria: An overall jumping score of at least 8.0 in the
Mare Performance Test. A breed value index of at least 125. A successful competition record in show jumping at USEF 1.35m or above or the
Equine Canada equivalent (five times in first
OWNERS OF MARES OR STALLIONS NOT OTHERWISE INCLUDED IN THE CURRENT LIST ARE ENCOURAGED TO PROVIDE THE COMMITTEE WITH THE APPROPRIATE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SO THAT THE HORSE MAY BE CONSIDERED FOR THE PROGRAM.

to third place); qualification for World
Breeding Championships for Young
Jumpers or Bundeschampionat in
Germany. The mare must have two (2) offspring with successful competition records, one with placings first to fifth in USEF 1.35m or above (or Equine Canada equivalent), and one with at least one placing first to fifth in USEF 1.40m or above (or Equine Canada equivalent).
These offspring must have acceptable registration papers from a member organization of the World Breeding
Federation for Sport Horses. Close relatives (e.g. full or half siblings from the same dam with successful show jumping competition records as above)
Because the committee does not have access to competition records of many of these mares or their offspring, MPT data and competition records previously submitted to the AHS office may be relied upon. The committee recognizes that there may be mares not currently on the JBP list that have successful competition records, offspring with successful competition records, or other factors that have been overlooked or not considered. Owners of mares not otherwise included in the current list are encouraged to provide the committee with the appropriate additional information so that the mare may be considered for the program. Appropriate Jumping Pedigree The following guidelines set forth what is generally considered to be an “appropriate jumping pedigree.” To some extent, these guidelines may be applied more strictly to stallions than to mares. First, the sire of the horse in question must be a “jumping sire,” preferably meeting the requirements as set forth above for the stallions selected for the program. Next, the sire of the dam and the sire of the granddam should either be both jumping sires or at a minimum one of the two should be a jumping sire, also preferably meeting the JBP requirements as set forth above for stallion qualifications.
Recognizing that some sires are multitalented which makes for many variables, the JBP committee will consider every application very carefully.
To further encourage participation of jumper mares in the breeding program, in 2009 the AHS board of directors approved a modification to the inspection scoring system whereby a mare that meets the other requirements for Hanoverian Premium Mare eligibility but does not score an overall 7.0 on inspection (42 points) or a non-Hanoverian mare that does not obtain the necessary overall 7.0 or better for entry into the studbooks may have her free jumping score added to the overall inspection score and the resulting total divided by 7 (instead of 6). If this new total is 7.0 or better that result would count towards Hanoverian Premium Mare eligibility (in the case of eligible Hanoverian mares) or Main Studbook acceptance (in the case of non-Hanoverian mares). (See Reasons for Testing, page 17 for more information).
The list of selected stallions and mares, an application for review and other details of the program are maintained on the AHS website at hanoverian.org, and updated as additional mares and stallions are added.
