KWPN

What is the KWPN-NA?
The KWPN is one of the largest Warmblood studbooks in the world and has consistently placed at the top of the world rankings for jumping and dressage.

In 1983, the Dutch Warmblood Studbook in North America was established as the North American Department of the Royal Warmblood Studbook of the Netherlands (KWPN) in order to promote breeding and enjoyment of the KWPN horse in North America. In 1997, the name of the NA/WPN was 'Americanized' to The Dutch Warmblood Studbook in North America in order to be more easily recognized as the North American Department of the KWPN. As of January 1, 2006, the organization became known as the KWPN of North America, Inc.

Role of the KWPN-NA:

  • In order to preserve, promote and develop the KWPN horse to the highest possible standard in North America and to serve their members and breeders through a continuing program of services; the KWPN and KWPN-NA have formed a relationship that offers the greatest possible support to North American breeders, owners and riders of KWPN horses. The KWPN-NA provides extensive and unique services to its subscribers in North America while maintaining considerable discretionary powers in the administration and regulations of the KWPN.
