Otto agrees. “Tis is a good step for North America—good
in terms of identifying talented horses early on, and it’s also for breeding programs and stallion owners, as a way to recognize what is really working. And it’s good for selling horses!”
Introducing Free Jumping Championships Te RPSI is taking steps to help breeders and owners market young horses and promote breeding programs, specifically with young jumper prospects. It’s a competition series based on the Free Jumping Championships for three and four-year-olds currently popular across Germany. And it’s open to all sport horse breeds, not just RPSI-registered horses.

With the new Free Jumping Championships, the idea is to
use free jumping to determine a young horse’s natural talent in the canter, in scope and technique over fences, as well as judge the horse’s overall impression of character, instincts, athletic ability and potential as a competitive hunter or jumper. Horses will be divided by age and breed, with awards overall
and by division. Tere are specific event guidelines and rules that should be followed. During this year’s RPSI inspection tour, the RPSI received much positive feedback from breeders excited about the concept. Pre-registration in spring of 2012 will be required. To learn more information about this new competition launching in 2012, please go to

HOW TO DISTINGUISH THE DIFFERENT BREEDS
Look for a brand on the horse’s left haunch. A Zweibrücker will sport a bridge and crown with a number below (the last two digits of the horse’s individual registration number) or just a bridge with a number below if your horse is in one of the secondary books. A Rhinelander will be branded with an Antler symbol on the left haunch.
