As 2025 comes to a close, the WBFSH reflects on a year defined by progress, collaboration, and decisive action in support of our horses and our global breeding community.

"Dear members of our studbooks, breeders, partners and friends of the WBFSH community,
As we come to the close of the year, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to every one of you who contributes to the spirit and strength of the global sport-horse world. Your passion for the horse is what drives our mission forward and gives purpose to all we do together.
This season invites us to pause and appreciate the daily dedication behind every foal’s first steps, every training milestone, every carefully considered breeding decision, and every moment of partnership between humans and horses. These are the quiet foundations upon which the future of our sport is built. We hope you enjoy a look back at what this year has brought, in our December bulletin.
On behalf of the WBFSH, we wish you a blessed Christmas and a peaceful festive season.
May your barns be filled with both the quiet magic of the season and the excitement of what lies ahead. May your horses stay healthy, your foals thrive, and your work continue to bring joy, pride, and purpose. And may the New Year greet you with renewed inspiration, promising prospects, and moments that remind you why we devote our lives to these extraordinary animals.
Thank you for being part of a global community united by a shared love of the horse, and for walking this path with us. We look forward to stepping into 2026 together — encouraged by what we have achieved and inspired by all that is yet to come."
With kind regards,
Jan Pedersen (WBFSH President)
Nadine Brandtner (WBFSH General Manager)
