I know nothing about warmblood registries. I only recently found out a Hanoverian is not a breed, but a type. Anywho...I have lots of questions. What's the difference between an Oldenburg, Hanoverian, Westphalian, etc? Where are the standards published? My horse is a Hanoverian and was an 'approved stallion'. (He's gelded now.) What exactly does that mean? What kind of testing would he have gone through to become approved? My trainer said only a few stallions are approved each year? Is this accurate? TIA for any info. |

This coming from an uneducated one I believe it identifies which 'territory' it's bred out of?
Again, uneducated one, but I'd guess U/S, jumping, temperment, conformation, etc....
Again, uneducated one, but I believe there are varying tests. Depending on which 'book' you'd want to be approved for. |

The standards are published on the the web sites (for the ones that have them) and the history of how each registry was developed. Each registry began with a local type of horse, which were light draft/carriage type, most added some other type of riding horse, and many, if not all, added TB for refinement or Arab. Some have partially closed books - for example the Trakehner book is closed except to TB and Arab horses for breeding stock. Go root around on the web and find the sites for the registries. Those will tell you the whole story. As will some of the breeders here. |

There is an extremely long thread on this very subject over at COTH, it was posted a little while ago but I am sure that you could still find it. I will try to look up the link and post it for you.
