Holsteiner Classification Tour 2010

A Classification Tour is to take place this summer from 22nd February and 5th March 2010.

The principle Classifier will be Herr Hanno Koehncke from Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. He and his family are successful breeders of Holsteiner horses and he is also a member of the judging commission for breeding in Holstein.

Details of his literary in New Zealand will depend on demand. It is anticipated that the tour will spend the week of 22nd to 26th February in the North Island and 1st to 5th March in the South Island.
It will be 3 years since a Classification Tour took place so we expect many applications for classification. We will do our best to satisfy all demands but we cannot guarantee that all can be seen.
