    Jan Pedersen

    Welcome to the departments of the World Breeding Federation for Sports Horses, an organisation I have been immensely proud to lead since 1999. As a breeder of dressage horses myself, I know from my own experience the genuine passion, care and commitment that goes into breeding the equine stars of the future.

    Without our breeders across the world, there would be no equestrianism. I am deeply committed to helping them to gain the recognition they deserve and to building a strong and thriving community in which we support each other to breed the very best. We breeders are eternal optimists, with every new foal born, a new flame of hope is lit for a bright future. It is a pleasure and a privilege to bring this sense of optimism and adventure to our organisation, and through it to the wider equestrian world.

"I hope you enjoy your visit to our WBFSH website, which is packed full of information about our many exciting projects and activities. If you would like to find out more or become involved, do not hesitate to get in touch, our team and I would be delighted"
