Welcome to the British Hanoverian Horse Society (BHHS).
The BHHS is a full daughter society of the Verband hannoverscher Warmblutzüchter (Hanoverian Warmblood Breeders’ Association) in Germany. The impressive record of Hanoverian horses internationally underlines the importance of the relationship between a sound breeding programme and the highest level of achievement in sport.
The British Hanoverian Horse Society holds a number of events throughout the year. In addition to the main annual show there are also a number of regional foal shows where foals can be branded and shown. Mares can also be graded at these events. Depending on demand, there may be one or more Mare Performance Tests held in addition to the one at the annual show.

There can be no question that the Hanoverian Horse represents today one of the most prominent breeds of riding horses in the world.
A Hanoverian is a warmblood horse originating in Germany, which is often seen in the Olympic Games and other competitive English riding styles, and have won gold medals in all three equestrian Olympic competitions. It is one of the oldest, most numerous, and most successful of the warmbloods. Originally a carriage horse, infusions of Thoroughbred blood lightened it to make it more agile and useful for competition. The Hanoverian is known for a good temperament, athleticism, beauty, and grace.

The BHHS is very pleased to announce that we will be hosting the Ultimate Warmblood Breeders' Annual Championship at Morton Morrell College on Saturday 7th & Sunday 8th September 2019.
The British Hanoverian Horse Society (BHHS) is very sad to announce the death of one of our founders, Mr Howard Rose.
Howard was one of the original members of the BHHS nearly 30 years ago and initially brought the Stallion Wineberg to the UK. In the early days, Howard, supported by the BHHS Committee, was joined by Dr Ludwig Christmann from the Hannoveraner Verband and they travelled the UK grading mares and branding foals.
The British Hanoverian Horse Society (BHHS) AGM was held on Saturday 23 March 2019 at Horwood House Hotel in Buckinghamshire. It was an extremely positive meeting with a lot of plans for the future development of the Society.
The BHHS is very pleased to welcome Christian 25 who is standing in the UK at Gornall Equestrian with Jamie Gornall. Christian is now registered with the British Hanoverian Horse Society.
Christian 25 is a striking grey Holstein stallion born in 2006. He is a tall, athletic, modern model of a showjumping stallion who has proven to pass on his rideability, fantastic movement and confirmation, and huge careful scope to his youngstock. He has bred some impressive offspring that are beginning to prove themselves in the sport despite his first progeny only being born in 2012.

The busy summer show season for the British Hanoverian Horse Society (BHHS) was concluded on the last week of September with the 2018 Annual Show at Keysoe.
The BHHS Committee was joined by Dr Schade from the Hannoveraner Verband for what was a very successful event.
The Rhineland mare Sezuki (Sezuan x Sherlock Holmes x Consul), bred by Christian Heinrich owned by Sandy Senior of Glossoms Stud, was named as this year’s Supreme Champion.
A few days ago the board of the Hanoverian Association passed the following resolution regarding WFFS in stallions:
1. Stallions newly presented for licensing are required to be tested for WFFS as of the passing of the resolution. The result of this test must be attached to the registration for the licensing. For young stallions pre-selected for the main licensing in October, it is sufficient to provide proof of the WFFS test after admission.
