More- over, within the German Olympic Sports As- sociation (DOSB), it ranks as Germany’s 9th largest sports association. The equestrian sport is practiced with particular enthusiasm by women. They Foto: K. H. Frieler amount to 75% (more than 544,000) of the membership of the FN, leaving the male rep- resentation at around 170,000 members or 25%. The high share of young riders is also noticeable. DOSB statistics reveal that, in the group of females aged 15 to 26, equestrian sports rank third in the popularity of sports. It is therefore not surprising that nearly half of the FN’s membership (335,000) includes people aged 26 and younger. Nonethe- less, and despite statistical age and gender variations, the equestrian sport is popular amongst the old and the young alike. 3. Competitive Equestrian Sports In 2012, approximately 3,600 eques- trian events were held in Germany. These included 69,000 different competitions and 1,480,000 starts. In order to compete in these shows, each rider has to obtain an FN annual horse show licence. 80,000 of these were issued to German nationals in 2012, while 1,350 were issued to non-national riders competing in German national events. Additionally, the FN issued over 137,000 In 2012, approximately horse licences for their participation in com- garnered a staggering total of 85 medals: 39 3,600 equestrian petitions, as well as over 2,400 FEI horse gold, 21 silver and 25 bronze medals. events were held in passports needed for participation in inter- Germany, including 1,480,000 starts at national events. 25,000 horses were newly German riders were no less successful 69,000 different registered for competition purposes. during World Equestrian Games (WEG).

    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. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

  • An Analysis of the Inbreeding Level of Holstein Stallions Presented for Classification in 2003–2012

The data were collected from the Holsteiner Körung und Reitepferde – Auktion catalogues. Based on the analysis of 869 pedigrees (up to the fifth generation inclusive), inbreeding coefficients (F), expressed as a percentage for each stallion, were calculated. The highest F values were recorded in 2003 (2.05%) and 2004 (1.74%). Statistically significant differences in the F values of the stallions from individual years were found. The outcomes of the present study show that the breeding work based on conscious assumptions is carried out in order to increase an inbreeding level in the sport horses’ production, regarding at the same time that the value of the inbreeding coefficient cannot be too high. Key words: inbreeding, Holstein, stallions, classification, breeding INTRODUCTION standing ancestors and subsequently consolidating desi- red traits [Pikuła and Werkowska 2009, 2011a, 2011b].

  • Lower Saxony and Northern Hesse, NW Germany)
    Quaternary Science Journal GEOZON SCIENCE MEDIA Volume 60 / Number 1 / 2011 / 27–46 / DOI 10.3285/eg.60.1.02 ISSN 0424-7116 E&G www.quaternary-science.net Spatial analysis of loess and loess-like sediments in the Weser- Aller catchment (Lower Saxony and Northern Hesse, NW Germany) Bianca Wagner Abstract: A spatial compilation and visualization of loess parameters was carried out for the Pleistocene loess and loess-like sediments in the Weser-Aller catchment (southern Lower Saxony and northern Hesse, NW Germany), one of the loess regions of Central Europe. As far as available, data about main loess characteristics like thickness, granulometry and stratigraphy were combined for the first time with spatial information extracted from maps. Data storage and analysis in a geographical information system (GIS) permitted creation of large-scale thematic loess maps. The loess thickness map displays an increase of the thickness in valleys and basins and from north to south. The granulometry map presents main granulometrical facies types of the loess cover. Furthermore, several loess locations with unusual thickness were identified and their special geological and geomorphological conditions are discussed. In summary, the loessic sediments in the northern part of the study area are of Upper Weichselian age, whereas in the south- ern upland regions incomplete or detailed Weichselian loess sequences were identified. In conclusion, highly detailed maps of regional loess-property patterns can be created even if only heterogeneous historically published data are taken into account. [Räumliche Analyse von Lössen und löss-ähnlichen Sedimenten im Weser-Aller-Einzugsgebiet (Süd-Niedersachsen und Nord-Hessen, NW-Deutschland)] Kurzfassung: Eine räumliche Kompilation und Darstellung von Löss-Parametern wurde für die pleistozänen Lösse und löss-ähnlichen Sedi- mente im Weser-Aller-Einzugsgebiet (Süd-Niedersachsen und Nordhessen, NW-Deutschland), einer der Lössregionen in Mit- teleuropa, durchgeführt.

  • Breeding Programme of the Breed Rheinisches Reitpferd (Rhenish
    Breeding Programme of the breed Rheinisches Reitpferd (Rhenish riding horse) based on the Statutes of 29.01.2016 under consideration of the amendments required in connection with the EU Animal Breeding Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/1012). Draft of 11 January 2018 Information concerning the Indigenous Stud Book o In consequence of the merger of the Rheinisches Pferdestammbuch e.V. with the Hannoveraner Verband e.V., the Hannoveraner Verband takes over and continues the keeping of the stud book of origin for the Rhenish breed in accordance with the provisions of EU law and German animal breeding law. The Rhenish riding horse is mainly bred in the breeding area Rhineland. The requirements under subsections 4 to 15 represent the fundamental principles for the breeding of the Rhenish riding horse and are binding for subsidiary stud books. Subsidiary stud books are to be informed about amendments in good time. o The name of the breed "Hanoverian" depicts the historical roots of the Society as well as its geographical origin. In 1735 King Georg II. founded the State Stud of Celle in the Kingdom of Hanover. Throughout the turbulent periods which followed in the history of this region surrounding Hanover, extending throughout Lower Saxony and other neighbouring federal states, many generations of "Hanoverian breeders“ have continued to breed “Hanoverian” horses. Modern mobility and the option of artificial insemination instead of natural fertilisation have eliminated the limitations of locality to which horse breeding used to be subjected. Whilst maintaining the geographical focus of its breeding in Lower Saxony, the Society is expanding its activity at national level to cover the whole of Germany, and at international level to cover countries where a sufficiently large breeding population is available and, furthermore, recognition of the Statutes as well as of the Breeding Programme means that breeding of the “Hanoverian” is guaranteed.
