ional Young Breeders Championship


(World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses) endorsed the concept and for many years has been encouraging its member studbooks to become involved. The first event was held in 2001 at Verden, Germany


hosted by the Hanoverians. In 2003, the second Young Breed- ers Championship was held in Belgium, organized by the BWP (Belgian Warmbloods). This was the first time a team from North America participated, one from the CWHBA. The 2005 event was held in Denmark, 2009 was in Ireland, 2011 in France, 2013 in Sweden, 2015 in Great Britain and 2017 in Canada. (The 2007 event was skipped.) The 2019 competition will be held in Austria.

Attracting the Youth What is the best way to attract young horse men and women to the Young Breeders Championships? Most of them are not actual breeders yet, and many want to focus on riding. “It’s been a challenge to get the youth interested and put teams together,” Cassandra says. “Some have relatives or parents who are breeding, others have friends who are already involved. It usually takes personal contact to encourage participation. One of our team members is going to vet school, for example, so the program was attractive to her for obvious reasons.” Another appeal is the competitions’ international venues, which means young breeders will travel overseas to compete.
