Mare Performance Test
Owners are encouraged to performance test their mares to determine their rideability and whether their talent lies in jumping or dressage. A study in Germany shows a high correlation between the Mare Performance Test results and the ability to predict the talents of a mare’s progeny. The test is not compulsory, but can be an invaluable aid in determining the breeding goal for a mare. Genetic correlations, especially related to jumping and the high correlation of inheritability of paces make the Mare Performance Test a very important tool in deciding whether to breed the mare to produce jumping or dressage offspring. The Mare Performance Test evaluates a mare’s rideability, paces and jumping talent, with each area weighted one-third in the final score. During the ridden portion of the test, a mare’s paces are scored as well as her temperament and character. Mares must be able to show a lengthened stride in each pace, and such simple dressage movements as a three loop serpentine and free walk on a loose rein. The jumping portion of the test is conducted in a jumping lane without a rider rather than over a jumping course with a rider. The mare’s technique and scope are scored.
Reasons for Testing
There are two main reasons for performance testing a mare. One is to obtain a performance record to use as a tool in making breeding decisions; another is to attain Elite Mare status with an Elite Eligible mare.
Performance Record
All mare owners are encouraged to test their mare as proof of their rideability and athletic ability. It is also recommended that dams of all stallion prospects have taken the Mare Performance Test.
Elite Mare Status
To attain Elite Mare status the mare must be in the Main Studbook and be out of a Main Studbook mare. She must have scored a final score of eight (8) at her classification.
The Riding Test
During the ridden portion of the Mare Performance Test, the mare is judged on rideability, temperament and character. The ridden phase is not a dressage test. However, the mare must be trained to perform the following movements when instructed: Halt Free walk on a long rein Working walk Working trot rising Lengthen trot ‘Zugelausderhandkauenlassen’ (stretching long and low in the trot) Working canter Lengthen canter Three loop serpentine Changing reins 20 metre circles
The rider will be asked to walk, trot and canter the mare up to 1500 metres so that her rideability can be evaluated separate from her paces. This phase is to enable the judge to see the best paces and way of going. The mare should be ridden well forward – it is not being judged as it is in a dressage test. The instructions are called – a test does not need to be learned.
Free Jumping
All jumping in the Mare Performance Test is conducted through jumping lane without a rider. Most jumping lanes are set up on a 21-foot stride with a cross rail followed by a vertical and then an oxer. As the test progresses, the height of the last element is raised to test the mare’s scope and ability Information on free jumping can be obtained from the HHSA Registrar. More information on scoring is available in the HHSA Breeding Guidelines on the HHSA website: http://67.199.102.78/bm.doc/breeding-guidelines-2010.pdf

The Hanoverian Horse
Presenting a Mare for Classification or Judging (Modified for Australia from an article by Barbara Richardson for the American Hanoverian Society)
The Hanoverian Horse Society of Australia requires that mares be classified prior to their inclusion in a studbook. Presentation of your mare for classification will be more successful if you understand what will be expected of you and your horse, and if you are prepared to execute it competently and with confidence. The classification consists of an evaluation of the horse’s conformation, walk and trot. The trot and sometimes the walk are shown on a triangle. The size and shape of the triangle will vary according to the conditions at the classification site. Showing the horse on a triangle allows the judges a good vantage point without having to move around a lot.
Standing the Horse for Conformation Evaluation Usually you will first be asked to stand the horse for conformation evaluation. The judges stand just outside the triangle at its apex (Figure 1). Enter the judging area and halt the horse in front of the judges with its head to their left. Then proceed to stand up the horse. The horse should be presented in a snaffle bridle. Select with care a bridle that is flattering to the horse, not one that is simply fashionable, as it is possible that the heads of many mares appear more attractive without the noseband of a cavesson, for example.
If this is the case, the mare should be shown without a cavesson. The handler stands facing the horse preferably with one rein in each hand. The reins are sometimes held out to the sides to help keep the horse straight. The horse should be stood up in an open stance: the feet are positioned so that all four legs can be seen when the horse is viewed from the side. If the left side of the horse is being judged, the left front foot is positioned ahead of the right front foot and the right hind foot is positioned in front of the left hind foot. In order to achieve this position the horse must be taught to take one forward step at a time in response to a rein aid on the side that forward motion is desired. Corrections are always made in a forward – never backward – direction. If in positioning the horse you get too far in front of the judge, make a circle and start over.
Showing the Paces in Hand Next the handler is likely to be asked to show the walk or the trot. While the horse is moving, the handler remains at the left shoulder of the horse at all times. Turns are always made to the right. These are anticipated and controlled by bringing the left hand forward about six inches in front of the horse’s nose (Figure 2). The horse needs to be taught to respond to this aid. Thoughtful practice will lead to a fluent response.
The Walk Depending on the classifier and the number of horses to be evaluated, the walk will be judged in one of the following ways: Walk the horse away from the judge, thus bisecting the triangle, turning the horse
to the right before reaching the far side and returning to the judge (Figure 3); Walking around the entire triangle (Figure 4); Walking the “small” triangle where the horses walk on a line parallel to the far side and inside of the triangle (Figure 5); The walks of the horses may be judged in a group after the conformation and the trot of each horse has been individually assessed. The horses progress in a large circle (usually around the triangle) with the judge standing in the centre (Figure 6). The judge will then ask the handlers to change the relative positions of the horses so that at the conclusion of the class the best horse leads the parade, followed by the second, then the third placed horse and so on until the entire class is ranked.
The Trot When trotting the triangle, straightness and correctness of paces are evaluated primarily when the horse is moving toward or away from the judge. Purity and quality are best judged when the horse is seen in profile as it travels along the far side. The handler must move the horse in a straight line away from and toward the judge, keeping the horse in motion around the turns if at all possible. This will be easier to accomplish if the handler does not hug the side of the triangle, thus making the corner too tight. The handler should focus on a spot to the left of and beyond the marker of the triangle and make a wide, round turn, maintaining as much momentum as possible for the trip down the far side. When the
Oct/Nov 2010 Issue 9 Page 9 The Hanoverian Horse
horse is returned to the judge, the handler should focus on a point in line with, but beyond them, and move straight toward them (Figure 7). The greatest challenge of showing on the triangle is to get the horse to develop its optimum, balanced ground covering trot on the far side. This is the trot that takes the spectators’ breath away – the extended trot with strong rein contact. The handler needs to exert maximum effort, taking large steps in time with the horse. If the horse canters, bring it immediately back to trot – this is when the best trot steps are likely to occur.
Conditioning Exercises for Horse and Handler Mares are at least three years of age when they are presented for classification. They should be subjected to some sort of systematic, regular exercise for at least 30 days prior to the classification in order to develop condition. If they have not been lunged this would be an excellent time to teach them. Consider the following exercise: lunge the horse at the trot in a circle at one end of the arena. Ask the horse to extend down part of the long side, resume the circle (or circles) then extend again (Figure 8). The handler goes with the horse as it extends and catches his breath while the horse circles. The exercise will not only improve the condition of the handler and the horse it will give the handler a feel for moving out in harmony with the horse and help him gauge the size of his steps in relation to the horse.
Whip Handling When presenting the horse the horse handler should not carry a dressage whip. A whip carried by the horse handler causes the horse to carry its hindquarters to the inside and the horse is then not straight. A whip handler with a lunging whip is necessary. A small plastic bag may be attached to the end of the lash. Wielding his whip, the whip-handler follows behind the moving horse, keeping it moving. When the horse is standing still, the whip-handler positions himself so that he can assist in maintaining the horse’s attention by flicking the lash of the whip on the ground. The function of the horse-handler is to guide the horse and keep it straight: the function of the whip-handler is to keep the horse moving when it is supposed to move and attentive when standing still. If you do not bring a whip-handler, one can possibly be found at the classification site. However, it is far better to provide your own, one with whom you or your handler and your horse have practised, so that you can present a well-functioning unit.
Preparation and Turnout for Classification Day Classification day is a very important one in your mare’s life. The scores that she receives will remain with her for life, and will determine her studbook placement. At the time of the classification the mare must be immaculately groomed. She must be bathed, plaited and trimmed. The tail should be pulled or trimmed at the dock and banged at the bottom about a hand’s width above the fetlock. It is wise not to have the mare’s feet trimmed or shod immediately prior to the classification. Having the feet attended to about three weeks beforehand by your usual farrier will eliminate the chance of the mare being foot sore from trimming or shoeing. You may elect to have a handler show your horse for you, but that handler must also understand what is required as well as be able to run with the horse. At the larger classification sites, mare owners can possibly hire a handler who knows his task, but he will not succeed if you have not practised with your horse and crew at home. At classification, both the horse handler and the whip-handler must be neatly, functionally, and inconspicuously dressed. Do not wear riding clothes, as it’s difficult to run in tall boots. Wear jogging shoes, preferably ones with leather or man-made uppers. Do not wear jeans. These are hard to run in also, but the main reason is that jeans do not give a finished “dressed-up” appearance. Wear comfortable slacks that allow freedom of movement. Select a shirt that gives a trim, tailored appearance. The HHSA polo shirt is available for purchase for this purpose. Bring extra shirts in case they become soiled. When you have chosen the clothes that you will wear at the classification, practise in them to make sure that they are comfortable and functional. Proper presentation of a mare is real challenge, much work and a lot of fun. Doing it correctly can be a rewarding experience.

Guest Rider for 2011 Sydney CDI Young Horse – Anna-Sophie Fiebelkorn.
The HHSA, as part of its sponsorship of the Young Horse Classes at the Sydney CDI are thrilled to announce that Anna-Sophie Fiebelkorn will be their guest rider in 2011. Anna was born 1982 in Überlingen on Lake Constance in the South of Germany. Growing up in the land between the seas Schleswig-Holstein, she discovered her interest in horses very early. Anna was already in the saddle at age 6. Her initial focus was on jumping. She completed her training as ‘Pferdewirtin’ with emphasis on riding at the Riding and Driving School at Verden under the guidance of Joachim Weist and Marco List. She was presented with the Stensbeck Plaque for her final exams and awarded a riding scholarship with Jürgen Koschel in Hamburg. Anna passed her Master exam with distinction and is one of the youngest horse economists in Germany. She gained experience as a long-time auction rider at the Hanoverian Federation and presented a number of top sellers at the Verden Auctions. Since 2006, Anna runs an FN-accredited training establishment at Oyten and her trainer is Hans-Heinrich Meyer zu Strohen. Some of Anna’s achievements include wins and placings in the prestigious Bundeschampionate (Germany) and the Young Horse World Championships in Verden riding Imperio and Benetton Dream. More recently Anna has ridden with success Sun King, Laynes and Bequia. These include victories and placements up to St George level. The HHSA will also be organising clinics with this very talented rider/trainer.
2011 Training Clinics In other exciting news for our training clinic programme, Andreas Schöffner will be returning in 2011 to conduct further dressage clinics. The first for the year will be from 1st to 10th March, 2011. Details will be available in our next newsletter. See our “Stop Press” section for some important information on clinic protocols!

We have another information filled newsletter for you to read over the Christmas/New Year break. Sorry for the lateness in getting this edition out but we wanted to include as much “fine tuned” Tour information as possible, the planning of which takes considerable time, energy and co-ordination.
This is our last newsletter before Christmas and on behalf of the Committee we would like to extend our warmest regards to all our members for a safe and happy Christmas and prosperous New Year.
We look forward to catching up with many of you in the New Year, particularly on Tour.
Until then stay safe.

Duration The ads will be placed in the newsletter after the ad is supplied and monies paid, and will appear on the HHSA web site from the time the next immediate newsletter is published and until the next newsletter is issued ie. 2 months duration. If the horse sells it is the responsibility of the advertiser to notify the HHSA to have the ad removed from the web site.
