The name German riding horse does not stand for its own breed of horse , but is rather a generic term for warmblood horses bred in Germany . Even if the individual warmblood breeds are crossed with one another on a large scale and some consolidation efforts can now be recognized within the breeding associations , warmblood breeding in Germany remains strongly regionally organized.

Breeding goal
The common general breeding goal is formulated by the breeding associations as follows: "A noble, large-lined and correct, healthy and fertile horse with sweeping, expansive, elastic movements, which is suitable for all types of riding due to its temperament, its character and its rideability - is
bred. "
Studbooks
Mares
The studbooks of the individual associations are divided into the following sections:
- Pre-book (special department)
- Studbook 2 (main section)
- Studbook 1 (main section)
Every broodmare must be entered in a stud book. This entry is not made automatically at birth, but the mare must be presented to a commission of the respective breeding association at the earliest three years.
The title of premium mare (association premium) can also be awarded for mares that are particularly suitable for the breeding goal . In some breeding associations there are also the titles state premium and elite mare.
In addition, the FN maintains a central performance stud book for above-average mares from all breeding associations, above-average in this context refers to personal performance, progeny performance or fertility. The registration is voluntary and chargeable. Mares can only be registered there if they have given birth to at least two foals in a maximum of four breeding years. The performance studbook is divided into the following sections:
- Department A: passed performance test
- Main broodmares who have passed an above-average broodmares test can be entered here
- Department B: tournament successes
- Mares can be entered here who were placed in front in championships for riding horses, jumping and / or dressage tests of class L, versatility tests of class A or a driving test of class L or who have a general counterbalance weight of at least 70 kg
- Department C: offspring successful in competitions
- Mares with at least three offspring that were placed in L-class competitions can be entered here
- Department D: Breeding Successes (Fertility)
- Mares can be registered here who have given birth to live foals in 70 percent of their breeding years and who have given birth to at least five live foals
Stallions
The stallion books are divided into the following sections:
- Stallion Book I
- For stallions with licensing and stallion performance test , from autumn 2014 the successful completion of a 30 or 70 day test is mandatory
- Stallion Book II
- for stallions whose ancestry has been known for several generations and who meet the health requirements but are not licensed and / or have no stallion performance test
- Pre-book
