North American Stallion Sport Test 2023
North American Stallion Sport Test- 2023
The NA Stallion Sport Test ~ the best route for fulfilling sport performance requirements for stallions.
Mirrored after the successful 3-Day Stallion Sport Tests offered in Germany, NASST is organized through the cooperation of multiple breed registries, has the support of the German FN that sanctions the European testing, and the results are accepted by all the major sporthorse breed registries.
2023 Stallion Test Dates: October 6-8 in Solvang, CA & October 10-12 in Colora, MD
Judges: Gerd Sickinger, Matthias Granzow, & Floor Dröge.
Dressage Expert: Josef Freese.
Jumping Expert: Bernhard Thoben.
Test Riders: Marion Ostmeyer (jumpers – both sites), Inga Hamilton (dressage – west coast), Jessica Wisdom (dressage – east coast).
FN Representative: Maren Schlender.

The emphasis in assessment of young stallions has moved away from a static, single period of time to appraising the stallion’s training progress and development at multiple points in their early career. This fundamental change will still allow stallion owners options for following a testing path or a wholly performance-based approval method.
An example of how the licensing and sport testing process would work for a stallion may be as follows*:
-
Age 3: The stallion is presented for licensing. If accepted, he is granted a 1-year breeding permit to breed mares at age 4.
(For some registries there is a 2-year permit, for others licensing is conditional upon attendance at the testing. Stallion owners are responsible for understanding the specific rules to their registry(ies) of choice.) -
Age 4: The stallion would attend a 3-day sport test to maintain a breeding license. If he successfully passes, then he is granted another 1-year breeding license to breed mares at age 5.
-
Age 5: The stallion attends his second 3-day sport test. If he successfully passes, then he receives his Lifetime approval.
If a stallion misses a year of the sport test, he would not be granted a license to breed for the following year but could attend the next offered sport test. Stallions age 7 or older must achieve their sport performance requirements though the traditional sport model of upper level competition results.
*It is up to each registry to set the specific performance requirements for their registries. For example, a registry may require only one year of the NA Stallion Sport Test or may choose to set a minimum ‘passing score’ for their specific registry. Stallion owners need to connect with each registry on their specific licensing and performance requirements.
