The Hanoverian Written by Christian Freiherr von Stenglin Translated by Christina Belton

The Hanoverian has earned its reputation of being a top-class competition horse. Many outstanding horses in the world of dressage and show jumping bear the H-Shaped brand of two horse’s heads. The Hanoverian breeding industry is the biggest in Europe; Hanoverian stallions hold records for the amount of money won by their offspring; Hanoverian horses fetch top prices at auction; and Hanoverian horses win World Championships and Olympic Gold medals.

This book explains the background to this success story. It traces the history of the breed from its origins to the present day. It examines the German Breeding system, the state and private studs, and the duties and achievements of the breed society. It looks at the influence of the Hanoverian on other breeds. And the outstanding results consistently obtained by Hanoverian horses in the leading disciplines.

Since the original publication in German, this lucid and knowledgeably written book has been updated and additional material contributed on the Hanoverian outside Germany, particularly in Britain and the USA. It is essential reading for both the amateur and the expert.
