show jumping victory

SHF acquires, pairs, produces, competes and markets Holsteiner horses stemming from the most influential stem lines for international success. in addition to Holsteiner horses, SHF employs a select number of other German and Dutch bloodlines, including Oldenburg, Hanoverian and KWPN. Over 75% of SHF foals in Europe have been graded Premium by the Holsteiner Verband (Studbook).
