Grading Information
2009 KNN Knabstrupper Grading - Rodbaston College 19th September
Entries for the 5th annual UK KNN Knabstrupper gradings run by the KSGB close on the 10th of August 2009. Horses and ponies out of approved Knabstrupper parentage, or approved outcrosses, are eligible for Main Stud Book grading. Mares and geldings out of unknown or unapproved parentage may be eligible for grading into the Appendix. The Appendix leads to the Main Stud Book. Stallions must have their parentage DNA verified at the time of grading. No late entries for stallions will be accepted unless the stallion has already had its parentage verified. Late entries for mares and geldings may be accepted where practicable, but stabling and entry into the grading catalogue cannot be guaranteed.

Congratulations to all those who presented horses for KNN grading in 2008!
Full Results from the 2008 Gradings are available HERE Once again a huge thank you has to go to all the owners who brought horses to the 2008 gradings. As with the 2007 gradings, the Danish judges were very impressed with the high standard of horses presented at the UK gradings this year.
Also many thanks to the staff and volunteers who were so helpful at the venues and aided in the smooth running of both days, as well as those that extended hospitality to the judges and provided such superb refreshments.
The 2008 grading dates and venues were: 26th of September 2008

Please contact us if you are interested in grading your horse, or having your youngstock evaluated in 2009
The UK Gradings are held in cooperation with the mother organisation of the Knabstrupper - the Knabstrupperforeningen for Danmark (KNN). Horses graded at these Gradings are entered directly into KNN studbook (studbook of mother organisation). Offspring of KNN graded horses are eligible for passports issued by the mother organisation of the Knabstrupper (KNN). There will be a brander present at each of the Gradings, and DNA samples can be taken free of charge from all horses forward for grading. Each of the Gradings also offers the opportunity of the Performance Test which is open to mares and geldings, as well as stallions. Stallions which are over 4 years can now be presented for inspection and then undertake their Performance Test on the same day, without having to wait a year to be represented for their Performance Test. If they pass both the inspection and the performance test, they are fully approved by the KNN. Breed standard and approved outcross information is listed on this site. Please see menu to the left. Horses must be owned by KNN members to be graded. If you are not currently a KNN member, it is possible to submit your membership at the same time as you enter your horse to be graded. Mares have to be a minimum of 3 years old to be graded, and colts can be inspected at 2.5 years old. There are youngstock evaluation classes for horses that are younger - this provides an opportunity for youngstock to be evaluated by KNN judges.
