Zweibrückers in the News
March 6th and 7th marked the final days of the 30-Day Stallion Testing hosted by Silver Creek Farms. Located in Broken Arrow, OK, Silver Creek Farms recognized the need for a universal stallion licensing format comparable to the 30/70-Day tests held in Germany and accepted by the FN. Silver Creek Farms is establishing a program that will be accepted and embraced by most, if not all of the sport horse registries currently operating in North America.
To that end, a meeting took place on March 5th, 2009, in which the majority of the North American sport horse registries participated. The American Hanoverian Society, American Holsteiner Horse Association, American Trakehner Association, Belgian Warmblood Breeding Association, Canadian Sport Horse Association, International Sporthorse Registry / Oldenburg North America, KWPN NA, Oldenburg Horse Breeders’ Society, Rheinland Pfalz-Saar International, and Swedish Warmblood Association of North America were all represented at the meeting. In an effort to create a dynamic, progressive, and cohesive performance test, input was requested from all of the registries in attendance. The meeting was extremely productive and the collective brainstorming that occurred from some of the top representatives of sport horse breeding in North America was energizing and refreshing.

The 2009 Fall North American 70-day Stallion Test has been scheduled for October 4th through December 12th, 2009. The final testing will be held the last three days. The 30-day Stallion Test and the Pony Test will be running November 13th through December 12th with the final testing held the last two days.
Stallion Tests will once again be held at Silver Creek Farm in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. Stallions of all sporthorse breeds, Arabian or Thoroughbred, as well as ponies, between the ages of 3 and 6, who are started under saddle (walk, trot, canter) with a reasonable level of fitness are welcome to attend.
The 30-day test was developed in Germany to provide stallion owners with a safe, cost-effective way to fulfill their stallion's licensing requirements at an earlier age through a combination of standardized, on-site testing and performance results.
The cost to attend the tests is as follows: 30-Day Test: $4,100; 30-Day Pony Test: $4,100; 70-Day Test: $8,500. Registration for the test opens May 1, 2009 and closes Sept 15, 2009. Anyone wishing to register can contact either Barbara Sikkink (918)830-4262 or Summer Stoffel (918)830-7776 at any time, or email barbara@silvercreeksporthorses.com.
