The 30 days performance test took place between 17th August and 15th September (final day) in Erbach (Odenwald / 90 km South –East Frankfurt /Main)
The IGF takes part in performance tests for stallions since 1992. Since that date, it is an obligation to pass a test. The test was developed with the German FN and the different breed organizations.
The official title of the test is „CVII 30 Tage Stationsprüfung für Hengste - Zuchtrichtung Reiten/Fahren/Gelände“
In the meantime, it is one of the accepted stallion tests in Germany. Other horse breeds may have (partly) different tests.
In Germany there are different official / licensed examination centers. They organize the testing periods and stallions of different horse breeds can or must take part in it before they reach a defined age. For fjord stallions it is before 5 year old.
The test is the final milestone to come into the German “Hengstbuch”.
At the final test days, the stallions have to path through three parts :
• a called “Fremdreitertest” – with two experienced riders who do not know the horses before.
• two other judges see the stallions in the test for the first time. Their results will be added to the results of the leader of the Centre / or performance test and,
• at the final day : driving test - loose jumping - walk, trot, canter - 1.500 m on terrain with 6 jumps
CLICK HERE for the results of the four Fjord horse stallions (all born in 2013) in the 2018 testing. Scores are between “rather good” (7) and top score (10).
(Mark scale between 1 and 10. This will in practice mean that the figures used will vary from 3 to 10, with 3 and 10 seldom used)
The results are also published in detail on the homepage of FN

Hessen, Erbach - 26th May 2017
A nice group of 22 young mares of 3 year old were presented on a show in view to obtain a good breeding premium.
In Germany, young mares can be presented to a judge team in order to be registered as new breeding mares. The show is bringing fjord horse breeders and friends together on a nice place, in a nice ambience and the mares got an interesting evaluation. Note that the foals out of fjord horse mares that were not presented on this show, are also eligible to be registered in the breeding association.
The pictures of Jochen Nösinger are giving an impression of the day and of the good quality of the mares. Congrats to the participants!
