About Holsteiner Verband

The Holsteiner Verband, formed in 1935 from breeding societies dating back to 1883, keeps the studbook for the Holsteiner and ranks among the world's top studbooks for show jumping. About 5,300 broodmares are registered in Holstein, alongside roughly 50 association-owned and 150 privately owned breeding stallions. The association is headquartered with its own stallion station and riding school in Elmshorn, and its winter stallion licensing with Elite Auction is one of the sport horse world's marquee events.

Do more in the Avla app

This is just a glimpse of what's here. The Avla app is where breeders plan their next foal, whether it's your first mare or your fortieth season. Open this page in the app and you get the full picture: every horse on the page with photos, results and full pedigrees, plus the latest posts and events. Follow the page to keep up.

And Avla goes well beyond browsing stallions. It’s your digital breeding partner, with you from the first “which stallion?” all the way to the foal on the ground. Calculate inbreeding between any mare and stallion in seconds, so you can match with confidence instead of crossing your fingers. Track your mare’s heat cycles, log every covering, treatment, and ultrasound, and follow her through pregnancy with a calendar that walks you week by week. And when you’re weighing your options, Stig, Avla’s AI breeding advisor, is there to talk through matches and answer your breeding questions like a friend who knows their bloodlines.

No scattered notebooks, no guesswork. Just your whole breeding journey in one place, free to download on the App Store and Google Play.
