Out with the OLD, in with the NEW!
The sun is setting not just over my farm, but it has sat for good over the American Holsteiner Horse Association.
After 35 years (of which 25 i have been an active part of) it’s a new era - we are proudly flying the banner of the German Holsteiner Verband!
After a couple of months of transition, anxious preparations, after the Holsteiner Verband Inspections at Prairie Pines - and after spending 2 days with judges Dr Thomas Nissen and Michael Gonell, I can say that I believe that the merger is a resounding success.
i know that there has been a lot of doubt, anxiety and a boatload of questions for Holsteiner breeders - and the negative rumors that I heard, I can say this was a “benign takeover” with tremendous upside for both the American breeders and the Holsteiner Verband. I would love to hear from breeders who have unanswered questions, concerns about their status or about the changes that happened and how it affects us.
