Performance Awards

The Performance Mare Award, and associated PerfM title, recognises significant achievement in sport. Mares of the Hanoverian and Rhineland Main Studbook, Studbook and Pre-Studbook are eligible for this award. The prestigious Hann PerfM designation is a sign to breeders, riders, and owners that this mare has proven herself in high level sport and should be considered a valuable asset for sport and breeding.

Eligibility Criteria (per discipline)

Once approved, this will entitle the mare or gelding to the Performance Award.

Owner of the horse (or applicant) must be financial Breeder or Rider/Supporter Member of HHSA to apply for this award.

For Performance Mares, the Hanoverian award title PerfM will be listed on the mare’s pedigree in the breed database and included on progeny passports.
