These horses have been carefully selected and bred throughout the years for their qualities, such as the ability to train and disposition; as well as athletic ability and conformation. The Hanoverian has an impulsive but natural and light gait characterized by a floating trot, a ground covering walk, and a round, rhythmic canter. The Hanoverian has even made a name for it in the competition ring, specifically in the 1992 Olympics and the World Breeding Championships. Among these winnings were thirteen medals in the 1992 Olympics; followed by five gold, one silver, and two bronze medals in the 1996 Olympics for jumping and dressage and four consecutive wins in the Horse Breeding Championships.
Every year the American Hanoverian Society arranges a national inspection tour to register newly born foals, mares go through inspection and performance testing, and stallions are licensed. In order for the foal to be registered, the sire and the dam must be AHS approved. American and German evaluators examine mares for type, conformation, as well as gait. The stallion has to be physically inspected. If their scores in jumping, movement, and conformation meet certain expectations, they will be granted a temporary breeding license. Within two years, the stallion must complete and pass the 100-day Stallion Performance Test, which is based on gaits, trainability, and athletic ability in show jumping and cross-country. Their breeding eligibility is there on determined every year. Even half-breed Hanoverians can be eligible for registration.
Super Fact:Domestic mares were bred with Thoroughbred stallions to create horses better suited for military and carriage purposes. The modern Hanoverian is a lighter breed that excels in athletic equestrian events.
