So, my horse is originally from Holland and then was imported. Just out of curiosity I was wondering if there was any sort of body similar to USEF for other countries, in this case the Netherlands. Some sort of organization that over-sees rated show-jumping competitions over there where I could see results/records? I know this is kind of a silly question, but I thought it was worth a shot haha.
yes, most countries that we consider horse sporty have a national governing body for sport, and national level shows.

I get paid to research equines that have been imported from overseas. If the horse was shown in Europe, there is usually an abundance of information available if you know where to look. Try starting with www.rimondo.com
Great, thank you so much! If you come across any other websites let me know!
You can look up show records for Dutch show jumping horses by submitting a request to KNHS and paying a small fee. I did this recently on one I was interested in. They sent me the report via email in a day or two.
If you can find a couple results through Rimondo (or one of the other options listed here), try googling the rider’s name in quotes along with the horse’s name. You’ll often be able to find video or social media posts that can be very illuminating, or more results listings. I found some fun factoids about my horse’s life in Germany that way!
