Since 1995 the up-and-coming generation of young show jumping horses has gathered in Domein Zangersheide for the FEI-WBFSH Jumping World Breeding Championships for Young Horses, held for five, six and seven-year-old horses.
The Championships highlight the connection between breeding and sport, providing an excellent showcase for the latest developments in breeding across the world. Each year a large number of young horses – some of the very best from the participating breed societies - compete here under uniform conditions.

These updates reflect the ongoing discussions between the WBFSH, FEI and stakeholders across the sport, initiated in response to increasing focus on age-appropriate demands, horse welfare, and greater clarity and consistency in the framework for young horse competitions.
The 2026 Championships are scheduled to take place from the 17th – 20th September 2026.
