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

It is with deep sadness that we announce the loss of Witcham House Farm Stud's beautiful Black Stallion, Elroon
Elroon was born in 2001 and Licensed by the Hanoverian Verband in 2003. He was imported him from Germany in January 2004. Elroon then returned in the Autumn of 2004 to pass his performance test at Adelheidsdorf with high marks for temperament, character and rideability. Already attracting huge interest and adoration. His first foals were very striking with presence and movement.
Franz Ferdinand (Fuerst Heinrich x Dimaggio x Caprimond), that is the distinctive name of the new rising star of Woodlander's partner, Hengststation Pape. He has an exceptional genetic, which can hardly not be more modern and contemporary, and at the same time certain in terms of performance. It is well known as outstanding and is unique.
His father Furst Heinrich was World Champion, his dam-sire Dimaggio was also World Champion. His full sister is the exceptional mare Woodlander Farouche who was double World Champion.
