Every year in fall the Hanoverian stallion licensing takes place at Verden. This year 108 colts from the most modern Hanoverian bloodlines and bred out of praven damlines are going to apply tor the sought after title "Licensed".

Horses, which contributed to Hanover like many others winning the WBFSH Best of all Trophy for the sixth time.

From September 10 until 23 the licensing commission travelled throughout the breeding area to select the licensing candidates from around 800 colts presented for pre-selection. Already here the colts for licensing can then be viewed on our homepage www.hannoveraner.com.

The admission to the stallion licensing in september is followed by comprehensive veterinary examinations before the way is free tor a colt to be presented to the licensing commission and the international audience at Verden.

The licensing starts with the first presentation on the triangle on Wednesday, October 22. On Thursday all the colts are shown in free-jumping and free-running. This is the ideal day to gain a broad view of the complete age-group and to collect additional information from the staff of the Verband. On Thursday the licensing decisions are made and the premium stallions are announced. On Friday morning all the licensed stallions are presented again and are commented on by a member of the licensing commission. Here again the opportunity to get advice for the purchase of a stallion is offered. Afterwards all those licensed stallions which are available for sale are sold in public auction in the Niedersachsenhalle.
