Our horses
The Holsteiner is a breed of horse originating in the Schleswig-Holstein region of northern Germany. It is thought to be the oldest of warmblood breeds, tracing back to the 13th century. Though the population is not large, Holsteiners are a dominant force of international show jumping, and are found at the top levels of dressage, combined driving, show hunters, and eventing.

This is a very young breed in Germany (August 6, 2001), the first horses are now ready for Grand Prix.
When the Verband was founded, it had a clear goal: OS was to focus exclusively on breeding show jumpers for upper level sport. That is not really surprising when you read the names of the founding fathers. Paul Schockemöhle from Mühlen, Germany has been President since the beginning. The board also contained other well-known riders such as Gilbert Böckmann and Gerd Sosath, the latter of which is still on the board.

A Dutch Warmblood is a warmblood type of horse registered with the Koninklijk Warmbloed Paardenstamboek Nederland (Royal Warmblood Studbook of the Netherlands (KWPN), which governs the breeding of competitive dressage and show jumping horses, as well as the show harness horse and Gelderlander, and a hunter studbook in North America. Developed through a breeding program that began in the 1960s, the Dutch are some of the most successful horses developed in postwar Europe.

The Deutsche Reitpony or German Riding Pony is a very popular pony breed in Germany. It is described as a "miniature warmblood" with refined, horse-like characteristics that make it suitable as both a children's pony and as a mount for sport horse competition in Europe. I live in Holstein so they have the Holstein Pony brand.
