Joint PhD thesis, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark and Wageningen University, The Netherlands (2016) With references, with summaries in English, Danish and Dutch ISBN 978-94-6257- 635-3 Abstract The general goal of this thesis was to provide information useful for the breeding programme of the Royal Dutch Warmblood Studbook (KWPN) in relation with the ongoing specialisation of the population. Data provided by KWPN consisted of records from studbook-first inspection, competition performance on dressage and show-jumping, and pedigree information. Firstly, the effect of specialisation was studied on the connectedness between the subpopulations of dressage and show- jumping horses, using the pedigree information. Results indicated that relatedness between horses in the two subpopulations has been reduced to a low level, while relatedness within both subpopulations has been increasing consistently. A reduction in the number of influential ancestors in both subpopulations was observed. Secondly, it was analysed whether the specialisation for either dressage or show jumping has affected genetic parameters of traits recorded in the two subpopulations. Traits recorded at studbook-entry inspection were defined as a dressage trait or a show-jumping trait according to the type of horse that received the inspection. Bivariate analyses were performed to estimate the genetic correlation between the two traits. Results indicated that the specialisation process has resulted in a difference in mean trait values between dressage and show- jumping horses. However, differences in heritabilities for traits defined as dressage or show-jumping did not differ significantly, and the genetic correlations between them were not different from one considering their posterior standard deviation. Thirdly, the model to analyse performance in competition of dressage and show- jumping was studied. Results showed that performance in competition for dressage and show-jumping is a heritable trait (h2 ~ 0.11-0.13), and that it is important to account for the effect of rider in the genetic analysis. Fourthly, it was estimated the genetic correlation between the performance of horses in dressage and show- jumping competition, and the genetic correlations between traits measured early in life and performance in competition in each of the disciplines. Results showed that the genetic correlation between performance of horses in dressage and show- jumping was slightly unfavourable (-0.12). The genetic correlation between dressage and show-jumping tended to become more unfavourable over time, but this trend was not reflected in changes in the correlations between competition traits and traits recorded in the studbook-entry inspection. From this study it can be concluded that no extra benefit is to be expected from definition of a combined breeding goal. However, entirely separated breeding programmes for both disciplines are therefore not advisable. Constructing separate selection indexes would allow for optimal weighting of information sources such as studbook-entry inspection traits in accordance to the breeding goal of each sports discipline.

General Introduction Introduction Horses and equestrian sports are part of the common heritage of Europe. With an increasing number of horse riders and more than six million horses, the equestrian sector has a significant social and economic impact in many European countries (The European Horse Network 2013). With the increasing mechanisation during the second half of the twentieth century, the role of the horses in the society shifted from the traditional activities related to warfare, agriculture and transport to sport and leisure related activities. The horse populations that became popular to fulfil the new needs were the Warmblood breeds. Warmbloods originated in Europe from older local breeds used in agriculture and cavalry. They were derived from breeding between hotblood horses (Thoroughbreds and Arabs) and coldblood horses (draft horses). The different breeds are defined by the studbooks, that have unique and varied histories, and most were established from breeding between local mares and either imported warmblood sires from other breeds or Thoroughbred sires (Hamann and Distl 2008). Warmblood breeds are an open breeding population due to the contribution of different specific breeds (e.g. Thoroughbred, Trakehner) and the genetic exchange among Warmblood studbooks. This genetic exchange between studbooks has increased over the last decades due to more importation of sires or semen, facilitated by the availability and uptake of artificial insemination (Thorén Hellsten et al. 2008; Ruhlmann et al. 2009). The general goal of the Warmblood breeders is to breed riding horses that mainly are used as sport horses. Warmblood horses are popular in the Olympics disciplines, i.e. dressage, show-jumping and eventing. In any case, studbooks have different emphases in their breeding goals. Some of them focus on one sport discipline (e.g. the Irish Sport Horse and Holstein studbooks focus on show jumping, Trakehner focus on dressage), but the majority of the breeder organisations aim to breed horses to compete at professional levels in dressage and show-jumping (Koenen et al. 2004; Stock et al. 2015). However, contrary to other livestock species, there is no precise determination of the weight of different traits in the breeding goal (Koenen et al. 2004). 11 1. General Introduction The breeding goal of the Royal Dutch Warmblood Studbook (KWPN) is focused on performance at the highest level in dressage and show-jumping (KWPN 2015). In the breeding programme, the studbook focuses mainly on selection of stallions while the selection decisions on mares are mostly taken by the breeders. KWPN follows a multistage selection process to select the stallions. The first stage is the entry inspection where the stallions are assessed on conformation, movement and free jumping. The best horses from studbook inspections are selected to participate in the stallion performance test. The horses which approve the performance test are available for breeding. The breeding stallions are finally selected when records from their progeny are available (Ducro 2011; KWPN 2015). Including young horse information into the selection programme is justified because of the favourable genetic correlations between traits recorded in the young horse performance tests and performance in competition (Thorén Hellsten et al. 2006). Specifically for the KWPN population, Huizinga et al.(1991), Koenen et al.(1995) and Ducro et al.(2007) showed that some traits recorded at the young horse inspections were genetically and phenotypically correlated with performance in competition. Therefore, selecting based on inspection traits gives the highest response to selection (Ducro 2011). This has made selection easier, although the weight of the most important traits in breeding goals is not always clear. Historically,

One of the goals was also to examine the current status of equestrian tourism in Finland, as well as the use of the Finn- horse in equestrian tourism services. Improvement suggestions were created based on research about Irish equestrian tourism as well as the Irish Draught Horse and the Irish Sport Horse. There was no commissioner for the thesis. The topic arose from personal interest in equestrian tourism and the growing importance of the Finnhorse as part of the industry. The first part of the thesis comprises the theoretical background. It includes different aspects of eques- trian tourism in Finland and in Ireland. The current status of equestrian tourism in Finland and the safety guidelines created by the Finnish Consumer Agency are discussed in detail. The history, current status, and different usages of the Finnhorse are discussed. Also the Irish Draught Horse and the Irish Sport Horse as Irish horse breeds are elaborated. The second part is the empirical part. It gives suggestions for improving equestrian tourism in Finland and increasing the use of the Finnhorse in tourism related services. The suggestions are based on strat- egies and actions implemented by different organizations in Ireland.

  • List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS.

  • The Dressage Sport Horse Breeding
    Show Biz, Chapter 11, Dressage Sport Horse Breeding Getting Started: The Dressage Sport Horse Breeding (DSHB) competitions are designed to promote the breeding and development of quality sport horses suitable for dressage, and to provide opportunities to recognize successful breeding programs. In addition, these competitions serve as excellent opportunities for the young dressage horse from in-hand to under saddle divisions. DSHB participation is on the rise and this division can easily be incorporated with a dressage show. If you decide that you would like to host a DSHB competition, either as a stand alone competition or combined with a dressage performance show, the following information will aide you in planning and organizing your competition. DSHB Competition Application: Similar to the Great American Insurance Group/USDF Regional Championship Program, there are USDF Series Finals held for the DSHB shows across the country and any DSHB show can apply to be a qualifier. Therefore, it is recommended that DSHB competitions be offered as USDF Breeders Championship (USDFBC) Series qualifiers. While it is possible to hold a DSHB competition without the series qualifier component, these types of shows are historically not as well-attended. Each USDF Breeders Championship Series will consist of at least three qualifying events in designated geographical areas of the United States, which culminate with a final event in each series. Exhibitors compete at qualifying events for the Champion and Reserve Champion titles in the following in-hand divisions: current year foals, colts/geldings, fillies, mares, and stallions. The champion and reserve champion horses of each division automatically qualify to compete at any series final that year.

    For Immediate Release for more information, contact Ginny Simon, Project Marketing, 610-889-2036, [email protected] September 24, 2019 (Devon, PA) - It doesn't get much cuter than watching foals as they first experience the Dixon Oval. But it's especially fun when it's under the shining sun! Individual Breed Classes From the adorable Haflingers to the impressive Hanoverians and Oldenbergs, more than 15 breeds showed attendees what careful breeding can do to develop and strengthen a breed. They were all winners but the top three scorers were: Kandyvrowe (Glocks Toto Jr. x Fergievrouwe), a 2015 mare bred by M.Hendrikden-de-Rijk, and owned by Iron Spring Hanoverian Farm, earned the high score of 81.850 Gypsy ISF (Tjalbert 460 x Goaitske fan e, a Friesian bred by Iron Spring Farm, scored a 80.60 Sophistikate, a Hanovarien handled by Francine Gentile, was third high scorer with a score of 79.250. Many of the breeds - - Hanoverians, Oldenburgs, Dutch Warmbloods are familiar favorites. Others, while well-loved an appreciated by their owners and breeders, are not so well known. Take the Dutch Harness Horse for example. Also known as “Tuigpaard," Dutch Harness Horses are a warmblood breed of fine driving horses that began in the Netherlands after World War II. These work horses primarily worked in farms and fields; however, horse owners became intensely competitive and desired to breed the finest and most elegant horse as horses were a status symbol to farmers when they would visit the town. As a result, breeders aimed to produce a refined, high-stepping horse that are easily recognizable.
