Mare Performance Test

So test therefore, who join forever?

Essential for the description of a mare’s quality are, next to the evaluations of its conformation and movement on hand or running loose, the results of a test under the saddle. Are the qualities shown without saddle also present under the saddle? No mare can receive the title ‘premium mare’ without a mare performance test, even if the registration scores may be sufficient.

So test therefore, who join forever…

Essential for the assessment of a mare’s breeding qualities are, in addition to the evaluation of her conformation and movement in hand or running free, the findings that can only be obtained through testing under saddle. Are the qualities that the mare displayed without saddle also present under saddle? Without a mare performance test, no mare can attain the title “Premium Mare,” even if this would pose no problem based on her registration scores.

Further information

The breeding concept behind this is obvious: riding horses for all areas of recreational or competitive sport can only be produced by mares that have themselves proven their rideability!
