The KWPN is one of the most successful studbooks in world show jumping. Here is what it is and why it matters.
What the KWPN is
It is the Dutch sport-horse studbook. It was founded in 1969 from the merger of regional studbooks and in 1988 received the «Koninklijk» (Royal) title [1].
In show jumping
It is historically one of the registries that produces the most top-level international show jumpers [1]. Official studbook rankings are published by the WBFSH based on FEI results [2].
