Grading Information
2011 UK Knabstrupper Grading
The 2011 KNN KSGB Grading held at Usk College was a resounding success. Despite being a long day, the day was well supported by spectators and all horses presented graded well. Best in Show went to the lovely mare Blacklaw Vice Versa, who not only premium graded as a mare, but also passed her performance test with flying colours.
Full results are online HERE We have already started looking at venues for 2012. Please contact us with details of your horse and location, if you would like to grade a Knabstrupper in 2012. We will endeavour to hold the grading(s) in as central a location as possible, according to demand.
Also available is the grading of Outcross mares - please contact us (to verify eligibility) if you have a horse or pony mare you would like graded in order to breed KNN passported Knabstruppers. Breed standard and approved outcross information is listed on this site. Please see menu to the left. Horses must be owned by KSGB or KNN members to be graded. If you are not currently a KSGB 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 young stock evaluation classes for horses that are younger - this provides an opportunity for youngstock to be evaluated by KNN judges.

Please contact us if you are interested in grading your horse, or having your youngstock evaluated in 2011 and need further information prior to completing an entry form.
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.
