The British Hanoverian Horse Society

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. Photographs © Kevin Sparrow
