By the North American Danish Warmblood Association

As part of its ongoing efforts to give local support to the owners and breeders of Danish Warmblood horses in North America, the North American Danish Warmblood Association (NADWA), is sponsoring local inspections of Danish horses at various locations throughout the United States. Dansk Varmblod will be sending its experienced evaluation team of four judges on tour through the U.S. this fall, likely in late September/early October. In addition to evaluating and approving young Danish warmblood foals for registration and branding, the Danish judges will also be evaluating and grading mares for approval to breed Danish, as well as giving preliminary approvals for Danish stallion prospects. The inspection sites will include at least the following locations, although specific dates have not yet been determined:
