There are hundreds of Hanoverian horses in Finland. A fundamental contribution can be seen for example in the birth of the Finnish Warm Blood studbook. As the owner of a Hanoverian you have the opportunity to participate in the studbook inspections, registrations, mare performance tests or shows that our society organizes. Our web pages also include a data base where you can register your mare or stallion. The State Stud Celle has promised to give information about stallion choices for the Finnish mare owners. The breeding of Hanoverians in Germany has long traditions and thereby there is lots of information about which lines match well with each other. Our members also receive a 20 % discount for orders of frozen semen from Celle when the orders are made jointly. Besides all this, our web pages provide current information about breeding and happenings in the Hanoverian Society.
