for highly desirable older blood, there is Viva Voltaire by Vol- taire out of a Grannus mare, standing in Canada. Both Voltaire and Grannus are renowned sires of jumpers.
Valentino, by the Voltaire son Now or Never, is a very success- ful sire of jumpers with a jumping index of 161. Both Viva Voltaire and Valentino are standing in Canada. Standing in the U.S. is King Kolibri, by Kolibri, a famous sire in Eastern Europe who has an exceptionally strong dam line. His dam Athletica, by internationally renowned Achill Libero H, was successful at the 1.6-meter level. Te dam and granddam pro- duced 1.5- and 1.6-meter jumpers. North America is also lucky to have the Balou du Rouet son Bliss and the Contendro I son Contratto rounding out a great lineup of jumping stallions.
Increasing Use of Non-Hanoverian Sires and Dams Besides stallions who have met the JBP criteria, the program also allows foals sired by stallions who have made the top 100 show jumpers in the WBFSH rankings and the top 50 WBFSH sire rankings. Consequently, you will see an increas- ing influence in the Hanoverian JBP from top jumping sires from other registries such as KPWN, Selle Français, Belgian Warmblood and other German registries such as Holstein, Oldenburg and Westfalian. Over the years jumper breeders have looked for the best
damlines to produce their jumping horses. When picking mares for breeding, certain stallions are valued on the dam side of the pedigrees. Stallions from different Warmblood registries have been used in the Hanoverian dam lines with excellent re- sults in producing top jumpers. Breeders should look for mares carrying bloodlines such as: Acorado/Ahorn, Contendro/ Contender, Balou du Rouet/Baloubet du Rouet, Argentinus, Calido, Cassini I/II, Clinton I/II, Landor S and Quidam du Revel. Often these mares crossed with highly rideable/good- minded Hanoverians will produce a highly athletic horse with good rideability. A horse with these qualities is very desirable, both for amateur and professional riders. Detailed information on the requirements for admission
to the JBP can be found on the American Hanoverian Society website under the “Programs & Resources” tab. You can also find a listing of the approved stallions in the JBP; currently there are nearly 20 in the U.S and Canada. You’ll also find a listing of the approximately 200 mares in the U.S. and Canada who have been admitted to the program. In the last ten years, the AHS and the verband in Canada
have registered just over 100 foals bred from mares in the pro- gram and sired by JBP stallions. Many of these foals are now finding their way into the jumper ring in the United States and Canada. v
