The pilot program for BWP horses destined for the hunter ring kicks off this year! Presenting the H-Label American Hunter Book.
Maryland, Florida and Wisconsin will hold these classes. A USEF judge will officiate. Year-end awards will be available for participants.
This is an opportunity to have your horses evaluated both under the Belgian System and an American USEF Hunter Judge. You will learn from each of these expert horsemen. Give yourself a chance to evaluate your horse based on the criteria used in Europe, and also in the largest competitive market in America. Best of all it happens in one place.
Remember the BWP judges must approve you horse first. Good Luck to everyone. Feedback is appreciated. |

The following is a correction and clarifications to the 2009 Stallion Directory for the Jumping Performance Requirements for Stallions.
Correction for the Stallion Jumping Performance Requirements in the 2009 BWP Stallion Directory: "Qualifying for the Young Jumper Championships" is not a substitute for the completion of clear rounds.
Clarification for the Stallion Jumping Performance Requirements in the 2009 BWP Stallion Directory:
Stallions 4-6yrs old, need to complete 4 clear rounds during two years of their provisional status for a total of 8 clear rounds at age appropriate height.
Stallions 7yrs and older need to complete a total of 5 clear rounds at their age appropriate height.
For all stallions, jumping faults only, time faults are allowed. If a stallion jumps a clear round with no jumping faults but incurs time faults, this counts as a clear round.
Five Year Olds: 1.20 meters ( 4' ) - Four Clear rounds at a USEF "A" rated show to include clear rounds achieved in Young Jumper Qualifying and Championship classes.
Six Year Olds: 1.30 meters (4'3") Four Clear rounds at a USEF "A" rated show to include clear rounds achieved in Young Jumper Qualifying and Championship classes.
Seven through Ten Years: 1.40 meters (4'6") Five Clear rounds at a USEF "A" rated show to include clear rounds achieved in the 7 & 8 Yr Old Young Jumper Qualifying and Championship classes.
