ago and were strongly selected to become better and better. Te Holsteiner breeding in America didn’t start that early. Breeding is a passion and pro- ducing quality needs time.
What advice would you like to give breeders of Holstein- ers horses who wish to be competitive in the global in-

from branches that are currently relevant in the sport today. Fo- cus your attention on breeding horses who will be successful in sport, and look at breed stock designations like premium foal and premium mare as a bonus. Find a balance when choosing stallions. Too often I see
breeders choosing the next young fashionable stallion, one not yet proven, or stallions that are proven but no longer highly relevant. Tere are advantages and disadvantages to choosing both. If you are breeding to a young, fashionable stallion, one must have a high degree of confidence in what he brings to the equation. Certainly there are occasions it makes sense to utilize older, proven stallions. But if you choose a stallion today that is producing many of the horses at the top of the sport ages 8 to 15, you will be generations behind the breeders of top horses in an- other 8 to 15 years. Young stallions who have not yet started their sport career
and older stallions who are retired are generally more accessible than stallions actively competing in sport. It can be challeng- ing trying to breed to stallions active in sport and old enough to know how they produce. Many breeders have aversions to breeding with frozen semen, but it is coming more into the main- stream. In order to be competitive in the global industry of sport horses, breeders in the future are going to need to be comfortable with its use. MG: Te better the quality of the mare available, the bet-
ter—in combination with a top jumper stallion—will be the result, assuming the stallion fits to the mare. For that reason, every breeder must know the pros and cons of his or her mare and the same of the stallion selected. v
